Milton is a hub for activities in Toronto
Because Milton vacation rentals offer a quieter, more lived-in base on the western edge of the Greater Toronto Area, it's likely you'll need to make a beeline to nearby districts to enjoy the countless pursuits that a vacation in Toronto promises. Don't worry – they aren't far. Shopping abounds in the seemingly endless malls of neighboring Mississauga, for example, while there are golf courses by the bucket load dotting the flats just on the outskirts. And for those who came here to wonder at the majesty of Niagara, those crashing waterfalls are only a day-long excursion away to the south.
Sun yourself in Milton
There's no question about it: Milton really comes out of its shell in the summer months. The bustling strips of Main Street are host to countless parades and festivals when the holidays swing around, and that's not even mentioning the delights of the greater Lake Ontario region between the months of June and September. Book you Milton vacation rentals then to be in with the best weather and the top local events, and to dodge the shiver-inducing winters that hit these parts between November and March.
Milton is parked between Ontario’s plains and waters
Milton occupies the far western fringes of the Greater Toronto Area. A dash of green space filled with parks, golf courses, and country clubs separates it from the city proper, encasing the town in a low-lying capsule of farm fields and creeks. One of the real natural draws of the town is Rattlesnake Point. This charming country park is topped with the stony outpost of Buffalo Crag, has campsites and woods and wild turkeys. Meanwhile, the other side of town is home to Bronte Creek, where swimming ponds and historic yurts pepper the maple groves.
