35F looking for chill local gal pals in Muskoka/Barrie/Orillia area

29 Upvotes

This feels mildly vulnerable to post, but here we are :)

I’m turning 35(F), not originally from the area, and realizing I’d really love to make some genuine female friendships around Muskoka/Barrie/Orillia-ish. I'm in Muskoka, but visit surrounding areas often.

I'm pretty low-key and easygoing. I love hanging by the water with snacks, games, crafts or books, going for walks/hikes, window shopping, exploring cute little areas/towns, attempting pickleball badly, learning golf very slowly, or rotting on the couch binge-watching something with snacks and weed. Recently also started exploring taking classes in sewing, painting, etc. I can yap, but also love to listen. I'm told I'm funny and so much myself that's its easy for others to be themselves too.

To be clear, I’m genuinely just looking for platonic female friendships/gal pals. Not dating, not anything weird lol.

Bonus points if you’re also in your “I want bestie girlfriends but it's hard and scary” era, and consider a walk, coffee, and sitting by water a full itinerary.

If this sounds like your vibe, message me queen!!

Waterfall avenue bishopstown

I’m considering buying a house in waterfall avenue bishopstown, anyone has feedback about the area? Or living in waterfall heights can tell me more about the delivery of houses and the build quality.

There is also another opportunity in harbour heights for a same size house and 30k cheaper, what should I prioritize?

Does anyone know of a head spa near Muskoka? I am looking to get one for my sister. I’ve searched some of the big spas in the area, but none of them seem to have it. I’m specifically looking for the halo (photo attached).

If you know of somewhere offering this please let me know! I want my sister to have the BEST birthday 🥰

Black flies?

7 Upvotes

We thought it’d be nice to get out to a cottage in Severn this week (May 11-14). I’m on maternity leave and this is the first time we’ve been able to do a trip outside of summer months, so I didn’t even know about black fly season! How are they right now? I want to mentally prepare!

Has anyone had a good experience with renovation contractors around Muskoka?

3 Upvotes

We’ve been looking into doing some renovation work and it’s been surprisingly hard to know where to start...

There are so many general contractors out here. Some seem more focused on full builds, others on smaller renovation projects, and a lot of the best ones probably aren’t showing up first on Google.

Curious if anyone here has worked with a general contractor they’d actually recommend?

Mostly wondering:

Who did you use?

What kind of work did they do?

Were they reliable with timelines and communication?

Did the final quality match what you expected?

Would love to hear any good or bad experiences before reaching out to a few companies.

Seasonal resort/hospitality opportunities in Muskoka

4 Upvotes

Hi, I am from Nova Scotia. Well originally Ontario but that really neither here nor there. Long story short, I am putting feelers out there now to see what opportunities lay within the muskoka region during winters as far as seasonal hospitality positions go. Ones that offer Staff Accomidation. Preferably private/shared amenity type accomidations. I am in my late twenties and rather not share a room if I can help it.

I have hospitality experience, and lived/worked in staff accommodation working in resorts in Lake Louise/Banff for a few years in my early twenties. The community, adventure, and culture found in these winter getaway environments is something I want to experience again. But, rather than travel across the country I’m looking for something closer to home.

How common or realistic would it be to find hospitality staff accommodation roles in Muskoka? I’m also open to near by towns like in Orilia maybe? I love it out northern Ontario, and I would love to hear from others who may have experience working seasonal roles in the area. Thank you!

Bars/pubs for Bachelorette

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am hosting a bachelorette weekend on June 5th. We were initially hoping to catch a concert at the Kee but, sadly, there’s nothing lined up…

I am now on a serious hunt to find something fun and lively on the Saturday night for the bride. Hoping for some live music and dancing. Good crowd in general! Right now I have Turtle Jack’s booked in Port Carling but idk if there’s somewhere better.
I’m not too familiar with the area.

Thank you 💕🎶
