Originally built in 1896 by a young Englishman, Charles Waterhouse, Deerhurst Resort was the first major resort on the northern lakes of Muskoka. At that time, Deerhurst was accessible only by steamboat and consisted of a main lodge situated on four acres of prime waterfront.

While its clientele was predominantly American, Deerhurst attracted guests from all over the world who enjoyed gracious hospitality, fine meals and invigorating outdoor pursuits in the refreshing Muskoka air – traditions that continue over a century later.

Spread throughout 800 acres of idyllic countryside, Deerhurst Resort offers various rooms and suites to suit a variety of styles and needs. Guest quarters are located in low-rise buildings nestled throughout the resort landscape. All accommodation rates include complimentary access to an array of leisure activities.

From its earliest days, Deerhurst was known for its fine meals and attentive service. Once upon a time, menus were written out daily by hand and a large woodstove dominated the Deerhurst kitchen. While methods may have evolved over the century, their culinary and service teams still continue that same tradition of excellence today in three distinctive restaurant settings, an all-day room service and a variety of seasonal outdoor patios.
