Beschreibung:
Andrew Hind and Maria Da Silva are freelance writers who live in Bradford , Ontario, and who have long vacationed in Muskoka. Both contribute regularly to regional publications such as The Muskokan, Muskoka Magazine, Muskoka Sun, and Muskoka Sideroads, and have written many travel articles on Muskoka resorts for newspapers and magazines both in Canada and abroad.
Since the 1880s, people have travelled to Muskoka in search of solace and relaxation, enjoying the comfort and warm hospitality of resorts while revelling in the tranquil wilderness and refreshing lakes. Here the stories of twenty classic resorts are explored, some of which are thriving today while others are long gone but fondly remembered.
