Just two hours from Toronto and minutes from Algonquin Provincial Park awaits a lakeside wilderness retreat unlike any other: Deerhurst Resort. Open since 1896, the landmark resort sprawls across 800 pristine acres in Muskoka, Ontario, fusing a host of outdoor activities with top-notch amenities, two 18-hole golf courses, the pampering Spa at Deerhurst, and 40,000 square feet of flexible meeting, exhibit, and conference space, including two stylish ballrooms that easily accommodate 600 guests.
Groups can get down to business as soon as they arrive thanks to a separate check-in process and a friendly support staff, who stand by from the get-go to perfect all details of the event. Little to no outsourcing is necessary as the resort provides on-site facilitators and audiovisual specialists as well as an in-house entertainment department, culinary team, and sports professionals. Whether for a corporate meeting, large convention, or executive retreat, Deerhurst offers themed events, plus a complete Adventures in Excellence team-building and training program.
Much to the delight of active groups, recreation abounds year-round. Summer brings golf, horseback riding, fishing, hiking, and tennis, while winter offers skiing, snowmobile tours, ice-skating and dogsledding. The miles of wooded trails surrounding the resort also invite group activities such as ropes courses, ATV adventures, Hummer tours and paintball competitions. Following fun-filled days, relaxation can be found at the spa, by the pool, or at one of three upscale restaurants. At night, two live stage shows provide world-class entertainment.

Everyone on staff at Deerhurst did an outstanding job on all aspects of our meeting. I have been planning and executing meetings for 20-plus years and this one was in the top five percent of best experiences. I would not hesitate to highly recommend the resort to others.
