Movers in Gravenhurst, Ontario

Gravenhurst's town centre sits right on Lake Muskoka and Gull Lake, and Zero Hour Moving helps year-round residents and cottage owners alike move in and out of this gateway to Muskoka. Moves here involve older houses, many seasonal properties and plenty of downsizing, with Barrie roughly 65 km away and Toronto roughly 140 km.

Gravenhurst is part of District of Muskoka. Our crews move people across the whole region.

Gateway to Muskoka moves: Gravenhurst homes and cottages

About four in five Gravenhurst homes are detached houses, many of them decades old, so expect narrow stairs, low basements and older doorways that slow down a big piece of furniture. Seasonal living shapes the town as well: roughly a third of homes had no year-round residents at the last census, which points to the cottages and seasonal places around the lakes. Those moves can involve steep lots, long gravel drives and furniture that has to travel along a path rather than straight from a driveway. An older population also means many moves are downsizing from a family house into an apartment, and renters, mostly in low-rise buildings, add steady lease-end moves.

Muskoka District Road 169 is the main route into town from Highway 11, and most moves start or finish along roads that branch off it toward the lakes. Cottage roads around Gull Lake, Lake Muskoka, Kahshe Lake and Muldrew Lake can be narrow, unpaved or private, so we check access and turning room before we pick a truck. Visitors come for the lakes and the historic steamship that calls the town home, which makes summer roads busier, and cottage openings and closings tend to bunch up in spring and fall, so book those early. For a winter move, have driveways cleared and sanded wide enough for a loaded vehicle.

Our crews work throughout Gravenhurst, including the former Morrison and Ryde townships and the lake areas around Kahshe and Muldrew lakes, and we also take on moves to Bracebridge, Severn, Muskoka Lakes, Orillia and Georgian Bay. About three in ten residents moved here from elsewhere in Ontario in the past five years, and we handle those moves in both directions, from Barrie and Toronto right across the country to other provinces.
