For many Ontarians the recent announcement that we are allowed to have social circles and begin to reconnect with family and loved ones is a welcome step in the journey towards a new normal. Having close contact with people outside your household, but within your social circle, is vital in supporting mental health and reducing feelings of social isolation. In many cases, this involves families being able to see each other for the first time in months and often includes hanging out at home, eating together and sleepovers!
That is where Muskoka Bear Wear is there to help! We want to make sure you and your family are keeping it comfy, keeping it cozy and keeping it cool for your social circle sleepovers!
No sleepover is complete without these Ontario Made, comfy, Plaid Cottage Comfy Pants! They are a stretchy, relaxed, basic fit with an embroidered Camp Classic logo on the left side, pockets & a draw-cord waistband for easy fit adjustment.
Kids want to be comfy too, can you blame them? Available from XXS – XL and in a wide variety of colours, the Youth Cottage Comfy Pants are essential for cozy sleepovers with the family. Versatile, relaxed, stretchy, ready for playtime, chill-time, or cuddles!
Whether it’s time in the backyard together, huddled around the dining room table for a meal or kicking it in the living room to a great series on Netflix or Disney+ with the fam jam, the MBW T-Shirt is the perfect way to keep it comfy in your social circle!
We hope you are able to reunite with loved ones, re-establish social circles and we hope that we can be there every paw print of the way to keep you comfy! Enjoy those sleepovers!!

Owned and operated by the same family since 1921, this famous General Store in Dorset has become a bit of a tourist attraction and a ‘must see’ for visitors to the Muskoka and Haliburton area. Having grown from the original 1,200-sq-ft store in 1921, Robinson’s has evolved over the years and now boasts over 15,000-sq-ft of retail space. Today the store is open 7 days a week, year-round, providing visitors with plenty to browse, including: gifts, souvenirs, housewares, clothing, footwear, a Foodland Supermarket, a Home Hardware, a Boutique shop and much more.
Of course, things got flipped upside down upon the arrival of the pandemic and Robinson’s was forced to adapt and adapt they did. Through April, May & June, Robinson’s provided a shopping service for locals who were unable to shop on their own or for those who were immunocompromised. Staff began wearing masks, certain services were temporarily suspended or modified, and Robinson’s stepped up in a big way to be there for their community.
We would like to take this opportunity to salute Robinson’s General Store for their hard work and dedication to the community. It took courage and careful planning to get through those tough months and continues to as we navigate this unique summer. Kudos to Robinson’s and their amazing team. Keep up the great work and making all of us in Muskoka proud!
In response to the challenging times that we are experiencing together regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to give props to some stellar local businesses who are stepping up to serve our great community. If you know a local business who deserves a shout out, send us a direct message with a photo and why they should be featured. #StayComfy
In response to the challenging times that we’re all experiencing together regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to spread love and levity across the community.
We brainstormed various ways we could do this and one of the things we landed on was highlighting some of the incredible local businesses who are stepping up and modifying their services to continue to serve the community through these tough times. These are local businesses who have local champions who are doing what they can to be leaders through this unprecedented historic time.
“From poutine to steak on a bun, we have something for everyone in the family!”
Located in the heart of Historic Downtown Gravenhurst, just next to The Bike Shop and steps away from the Gravenhurst Opera House, is the famously PINK Shelby’s Chipwagon. But their love for all things pink isn’t all they’re famous for… Shelby’s is known for having some the best fresh cut fries & poutines you’ll ever find! And not only is Shelby’s famous for the quality of food, but they’re also known for the quantity… as Shelby’s promises you will NEVER leave hungry!
Owned and operated by Sherry for over 21 years, Shelby’s was featured in a live theatre production ‘Scenes From My Dock!‘; received a mention on the late Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Café; and has even welcomed some pretty famous Canadians including Sarah McLachlan & Megan Fellows.
Of course, much like all small businesses, Shelby’s was also affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and they were forced to adapt to the unique challenges that presented themselves. From the evolving landscape of food suppliers, to acquiring the necessary PPE and modifying their service delivery, Shelby’s tackled these challenges head-on and worked hard to be able to open for the 2020 Summer. They’ve built a loyal, passionate fan base in Gravenhurst – and beyond – and they were committed to not letting anyone down.
“Not only do you guys put a smile in tummies, but I’ve got a huge one in my heart from you today.” – Review from a satisfied Shelby’s visitor.
When we see local businesses stepping up to face these unprecedented challenges AND are working hard to serve our community, we think that’s just awesome. Giving something for people to be excited about or look forward to during these tough times is vital. We’d like to acknowledge and congratulate Shelby’s on all of their hard work and dedication to that cause.
If you’ve got a craving for a poutine, burger, steak on a bun or just some incredible fresh cut fries, head down to Shelby’s Chipwagon immediately!

“A little boutique curating the prettiest things for the prettiest babes.”
Conveniently located in downtown Bracebridge at 48 Manitoba Street, Belle’s Boutique specializes in fashion forward retail exclusively for women. Owned and operated by Krystal Darling, Belle’s is a small boutique full of carefully curated collections.
While facing the unique challenges presented from quarantine-life, Belle’s doubled down on their digital presence and remained a beacon of positivity to the community. It has been wonderful to follow along with Krystal and her family; 2-year old Beau who is absolutely adorable, and a soon-to-arrive second baby boy who we are all anxiously awaiting!! Through blogging and posting to various social media channels, Belle’s has continued to grow their brand and online community at a time when people are craving connection.
We want to applaud Belle’s for all of their hard work and risk taking through these tough times. Giving the community something to be hopeful about and feel good about is awesome!
Belle’s is currently offering shopping-by-appointment, but has an online store that is open 24/7. For the remainder of this week and weekend, Belle’s will be closed for the arrival of baby boy #2… but they are having an online sale to make up for it, so be sure to check that out!
Whether you love to be on the water, by the water or in the water, Muskoka Bear Wear is there for all of your Muskoka adventures. And while this year may look a little different for those unable to visit or vacation with us this Summer, know that as long as you have some comfy Muskoka Bear Wear on hand, you’ll always have a piece of Muskoka with you.
Muskoka Bear Wear ON The Water!
Paddling out on a SUP Board at 6:00 AM for a sunrise or having the breeze blow through your hair while out for a rip in the family boat can sometimes be a bit chilly. For moments like these, we recommend rocking a Camp Hoody (Ladies, Mens). Outside Muskoka, either of these Muskoka Bear Wear tops are perfect for an evening stroll or a bonfire.
Muskoka Bear Wear BY The Water!
Sipping a nice beverage, reading a great book and laying out on the dock to catch some sun is certainly one of our favourite ways to spend an afternoon in Muskoka. For times like these, we recommend the Ladies Fleece Paw Shorts or Ladies Flannel Boxers. Of course, these are great for just about anything you’ll get up to at home this Summer. From garden cleanup, to water balloon fights and BBQ’ing, these paw print shorts will help you show your Muskoka pride no matter where you are!
Muskoka Bear Wear IN The Water!?
Okay, okay, okay… well technically not IN the water… persay… but those fish sure are and there is nothing comfier than the Mens Sherpa Hoody or Ladies Cabin Hoody for when it’s time to reel one in. Away from Muskoka? That’s okay! Our high-quality, Canadian-made Hoodies are good for just about anything.
We mean, unless you’re opposed to being cozy or looking good? It looks like entire families continue to make Muskoka Bear Wear a part of their family traditions, and for this we say thank you.
