Northern Ontario
Owned and run by an Austrian family since 1972, this little piece of the Tyrol looks right at home on the shores of Lake Superior. Rooms are predictably woodsy, European and a little bit retro, but that all just adds to the charm. There's a private beach and an Austrian restaurant. Take Hwy 563 south off Hwy 17 at Batchawana Bay.
The many accommodations options range from motel rooms and suites to two- and three-bedroom chalets. In fall, the surrounding trees are truly breathtaking.
