This region is famous for its peace and incredible nature.

It is about the rather unpopular region of Muskoka in the province of Ontario, Canada, where there are thousands of lakes and countless rocky islands. This place attracted the star with a calm and picturesque vacation.
“This is a kingdom of calm blue waters, small wooded islands and wooden boathouses, which seems far from Hollywood and reminiscent of the Lake District, but on a larger scale, without bus groups and with much better weather,” the article notes.
The region is often referred to as the “Hamptons of the North” due to its combination of wild nature and gorgeous beaches.
“It is much more common to see families swimming in canoes or roasting marshmallows by the campfire than moored, ostentatious vessels on which champagne is pouring,” the publication emphasizes.
It is noted that Tom Hanks is one of those celebrities who were charmed by the beauty of this region. According to the media, the American actor owns a house on Muskoka Lake itself, which is one of the most famous places in the area. It is in this place, as journalists claim, that Tom spends a significant part of his time between filming.
“Muscoca, a laid-back region of Canada, is rumored to be a favorite summer vacation destination for many celebrities, including Harry Styles, the Beckhams, Justin Bieber and even Steven Spielberg, who seek a break from their busy lives,” added the Mirror.
As noted in the article, this area is known for its three main lakes: Muskoka, Rosso and Joseph, each of which has its own unique charm.
“Lake Rosso is known for its elegant cottages and luxury vacation homes, while Lake Muskoka offers a more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for canoeing, paddleboarding or simply watching the sunset from the dock,” the publication emphasized.
At the same time, for those who love active outdoor recreation, Muskoka is a dream come true. Hiking trails run along the shores of the lakes, and there are plenty of places to rent a canoe or mountain bike.
“With nearly 30,000 small islands scattered throughout the region, you can easily spend a day exploring them and feel like you’ve truly gotten away from it all. Despite its current status as a hidden gem, Muskoka has been a celebrity destination for over a century. In the 1930s, Bigwin Resort hosted celebrities such as Clark Gable and Ernest Hemingway,” the article added.
In particular, luxury lakefront real estate agent Steve Hyde described Muskoka’s appeal this way:
“Describing Muskoka is like trying to put into words a beautiful dream you’ve just had. It’s better to experience it than just hear about it: beautiful lakes, unique houseboats, and a variety of lakeside cottages built in different eras, it’s truly like a fairy tale.”
