I know how refreshing it feels to get away from the city. I have many relatives who live in Toronto and they've shared some of their favorite spots with me over the years on cherished family gatherings. If you need a break from the Toronto bustle, I think you’ll love these hotels and resorts. I’ve picked charming towns, beautiful nature spots, and fun escapes, all just a few hours from the city.
Highlights:
- I recommend Niagara-on-the-Lake if you want wineries, historic charm, and romantic B&Bs
- You’ll enjoy Prince Edward County for its boutique inns, sandy beaches, and farm-to-table dining
- I suggest Blue Mountain if you’re craving cozy chalets, scenic hikes, and relaxing spa time
- You can unwind in Algonquin Park with canoeing, wildlife, and peaceful cabin retreats
- If you love culture, I think you should visit Stratford for theatre, cute cafés, and small-town charm
