But whatever you need on the lakes -- well, cottage-related really, but what isn't cottage-related on the lakes? -- you can find here. Awesome selection of name brand men's and women's swimwear and sandals/flip-flops; huge array of high-quality waterskis, kayaks, boat bumpers, floaties, and life vests; wide variety of outdoor and patio furniture, including recycled plastic Muskoka chairs and patio umbrellas; all kinds of cabin accessories you'd never known you needed, like miniature rowboats, stained glass landscapes, pine cone nightlights, and aloe balm for your sunburns. It's easy to spend a lot of time in here, despite the siren song of a beautiful Muskoka day! Prices are reasonable, staff is helpful and friendly, location is a bit of a walk up Medora Street from the docks (or a bit of a drive past town).

AO was well stocked even in the mid season and we had plenty of great options to choose from and lovely staff to help with our sélection. It was a bonus that all kids jacket and pants were on sale for 30% off. Woot! While we were browsing for the pants, we decided to get the binding adjusted on her skis and the gentleman (Bob) was so helpful with tweaking my daughter's gears to make her first day back on the slopes as easy and enjoyable as possible. It's shops like this that I miss in Toronto, with that extra attention to customers experience and willingness to go that extra mile to make it great. Thank you, Bob and staff for helping us be ready for our first day back on the slopes. We will be back to visit the shop next time we are in the area and need to pick up some great stuff!

I haven't heard of this brand until I came across it at the Tanger Outlets. It's very much like an…read moreLL Bean. The focus is on outdoorsy gear including rain and snow apparel and camping gear. We were on the hunt for a reasonably priced winter jacket. Although there were some good deals, the sizing and the colour was really hit or miss. There huge sizes left like XXL or XXXLs but not much in the S which we wanted primarily. There was a lot of camping gear and small accessories. The cooler stuff that I haven't seen before included like a pop up tent that doesn't require staking! There were different sizes for these but nothing like the 8 room colossal tents that you can walk through. You can still pick up a lot of smaller things like fountains, food storage bags, waterproof blankets, and other ancillary items.

You really can't go wrong here. Rented a canoe from their Nobel location (White Squall Paddling Centre -53 Carling Bay Rd.) a few weekends ago and couldn't of been happier. Very much has a mom&pop feel but was pleasantly surprised with the amount and variety of stuff they have, it's basically a mini MEC in the middle of the wilderness. You're even able to try out the boats before you buy one since they are right on the lake. The guy helping us (I think his name was Jack?) was very helpful, he walked through canoeing 101 with my novice friends, and after talking to us about our plans suggested a alternate route out on Georgian bay that saved us a ton of paddling. Plus they have a chicken coup in the backyard - how cool is that? Also be sure to check out the 'offices' if you have to go. All in all, nothing but good things to say about this place, highly recommended.

I had mistakenly switched the shoe size on the rental form for a couple members of my group, which was a mistake I had apologized to the staff for. In return, this staff member called me "annoying" and "the worst customer he had that day." These are exact quotes. What could have been a smooth experience instead left a sour taste in my mouth that reeked of unprofessionalism and disrespect. With other rental shops nearby offering similar services, I will not be returning here.

Ever drive 2-3hours to go skiing AND FORGOT YOUR SKI BOOTS. Yup this happened to someone in our…read moreski group. We ran into blue mountain, thinking- no big deal go to blue mountain, get a boot rental, shave off 20% with the ikon pass and we're good to go- No! So Blue Mountain only rents out ski and boot sets for what they say is liability reasons. A rental at $80-90 with $20% is still a sizeable amount of change. So I looked up Mountain Side Sports as most mountain destination have some offsite rental places- a little drive, requires coordinating to pick up in advance and drop off before you leave town. So I saw their rental boots only $30. So my bootlegs group member stopped in and explained he brought his skis and forgot his boots. The shop was very nice to explain the boot may require adjustment to the skis- and then when you do go back to your original boots at home- you would have to get it adjusted again. Realizing the struggles- they were so nice to just offer the rental for $30 for the set- for convenience. That honestly was so nice. I look forward to directing rental equipment peeps to this place. It's honestly easier to rent offsite, pull on your ski or snowboard boots and leave your shoes in the car- rather than wasting money on a locker rental or doing the twice trip to the car at the start of the rental and at the end- and if you know blue mountain- parking isn't easy- non Subaru drivers don't respect the Subaru exclusive spots :/. Great service will visit again! I'm so excited to post this review because the reviews online are really dated on the Yelp page- happy skiing friends!
