The YukonHome/Where to stay/Huntsville/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Huntsville
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Huntsville, Ontario, chosen for travellers comparing lakeside resorts, country inns and practical in-town stays. Each entry is a 3-star property with its guest rating and the facilities listed in our data.
Staying in Huntsville
Huntsville began as a lumber town and became a summer destination after the railway arrived in the late nineteenth century. Today it hosts events through the year, including a well-known film festival and winter carnivals, and serves as a base for boating, hiking, skiing and snowmobiling among granite outcrops, pine forest and lakes. Algonquin Provincial Park lies to the east, and the town sits between Lake Vernon, Fairy Lake, Peninsula Lake and Mary Lake.
The hotels on this shortlist are spread around the town and its lakes rather than clustered in one spot. Addresses run from Main Street in the centre to Highway 60 east of town, Kashagawigamog Lake Road, Whitestone Lake Road, Walker Lake Drive, Rat Bay Rd and the Hidden Valley and Deerhurst area near Peninsula Lake. That spread suits couples wanting a quiet lakeside base, families drawn to resorts with pools and beaches, and drivers on a short break who want easy access to Highway 60 and Algonquin Park.
