Local Area Businesses
Blaincroft is one of the beautiful B&Bs in
Gravenhurst that offers accommodations to our
musicians. It's an exceptional home with friendly
and welcoming hosts.
Susan Chute is the hostess at Four Ninety,
"A Uniquely Charming Boutique Bed and Breakfast"
in a park setting by Gull Lake.
We are very grateful to Susan for hosting our musicians!
Leslie and Pete Terry often welcome musicians to
their home for a pre-concert dinner and to stay
overnight. They enjoy meeting our artists and
getting to know them in the relaxed setting of their home.
The MCA is grateful to have such welcoming hosts! With the Terrys, the Blains and Ms. Chute, we have three beautiful homes where our musicians are treated to the best of care in a warm ambiance. It is not surprising that they always find their visit to Muskoka to be very memorable and one worth repeating!
