LUXE<br />

Inspired by a Group of Seven painting,<br />

Ilona Kauremszky explores the golden<br />

days of summer that await at Muskoka’s<br />

newest grand hotel – Red Leaves.<br />

Muskoka<br />

When Ken Fowler of Prudhomme’s Landing and Alice Fazooli’s<br />

fame, was a kid at summer camp, he used to enjoy skipping rocks<br />

across Lake Rosseau while watching the mighty Segwun (now North<br />

America’s oldest operating steamship) sail by. With his camp mates<br />

in tow, they lived to canoe, fish, hike, catch frogs and dream under<br />

the stars.<br />

Little did Mr. Fowler know then that years later this prime piece<br />

of real estate would inspire a new dream. His latest venture, Red<br />

Leaves, is Muskoka’s newest luxe resort complex, which promises<br />

to make you feel like a kid again.<br />

His son Peter, co-founder, says his father’s dream was to give<br />

people the opportunity to really experience Muskoka. “The<br />

wonderful thing about Muskoka is that all those things dad did<br />

60 years ago are still there,” he proudly states, describing the<br />

566-hectare (1,400-acre) year-round playground facility.<br />
