I went to a famous "Canadian" clothing company (rhymes with Boots) website to buy a sweater for my…read moremother. Literally the most frustrating shopping experience. 3 different size measurements for every item. Why? She is an elderly woman. Its a woman's sweater. I just need one size. Then they didn't have any availability for what I wanted or the ability to find similar items possibly in stock. I went to Reddit. Looked for alternatives. Saw MBW. Went to the website. Found a blue hoodie. Showed my mom. Bought it. It will arrive next week. I spent more money on that sweater than what the other store was charging but I was happy to do it. MBW deserved the sale. It was easy. I had a great time looking at colors with my mom. And it obviously bothered me enough to leave this review. So great job MBW. Looking forward to getting the sweater next week. --Just a Canadian trying to buy a sweater for his mom.

3.5 stars. There are…read moretwo schools of shopping in Muskoka: sophisticated home décor and local art, and sweats. Seriously, sweat shops (the aboveboard, legal kind) are *everywhere* in the Lakes Region, all selling hoodies, pants, hats, and tees emblazoned with "Muskoka". Competition is fierce. I fall into the home décor/local art school of shoppers, but of all the places you could pick up your unmistakably "Muskoka" gear, MBW has to be the best. And not because the clothes are higher-quality (they do boast soft lining and a perfect weight), but because all the clothes are Ontario-made -- the only sweats you can find that are made in Canada. And not just made in Canada, but made right in Muskoka. MBW's philosophy is: if it *says* "Muskoka", shouldn't it at least be made here? I like that business model. Truthfully, tho MBW clothes aren't necessarily my style (sweatpants with bear paw prints on the booty remind me of high school cheerleaders), but I like the idea of supporting my home-away-from-home's local economy. Maybe the cat-sitter would like a pair of bear paw print booty sweats as a thank-you...

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!

"No, I've been here 20 years!" she replies cheerfully. Which means this is the exact same shop I've browsed the last eight summers running, and I had no idea what the name was. "Oh," I say sheepishly. "Then you've redecorated?" Fortunately, she replies with an enthusiastic nod. New jewelry cases, a ton more women's clothing, a reorganization of display stands and shelves, and a funky new Anthropolgie-esque inventory of home goods. This means that I have rather a few souvenirs in my possession that've come from Golden Valley Trading: a pair of amber teardrop earrings, some metallic sandals, a fleecy Muskoka sweatshirt, and a deliciously-scented tub of Fruits & Passion Monoï body butter than disappeared years ago and she hasn't carried since. *pout* My powers of observation are clearly suffering; but it *is* good to know that one of my most reliable sources for cottage summer souvenirs isn't going anywhere any time soon.

I am absolutely disgusted with the price Canadian Tire in Bracebridge expected me to pay, to…read moreunsieze a break drum. I was quoted $2,600 for the repair. After negotiating with the mechanic to lower the cost (because I talked with people in the community stating that the part itself only costs around $72) they were only able to get it down to $1,600. After deciding I still didnt want to pay that much for the repair, I got Canadian tired to tow my car to Town and Country in Port Carling. The mechanics in Port Carling told me that Canadian Tire didn't even reconnect my breaks in the car before sending it away. I got the quote from Town and Country and they are charging me $300, which includes the reconnection of the breaks and the unsiezing of the car part. So disappointed and infuriated that CT was trying to charge me an arm and a leg for a small fix on my vehicle. Will not be going back there for any future car repairs.
