Simu Liu spent Canada Day weekend at his ‘safe haven’ Muskoka getaway

Simu Liu may be one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, but he definitely remembers where he came from. The Canadian actor spent the long weekend re-living his childhood memories at a cottage in Muskoka.

Over the weekend, Liu shared a series of photos of himself enjoying the cottage life with his girlfriend Allison Hsu.

In the caption, he called the Muskoka cottage his “safe haven” and gives a heartfelt thank you to the family that hosted him there throughout his life.

“Goshulak Island has been my safe haven for over a decade,” he wrote.

“I’ve lived a lot of life and seen many things in those years, but nothing quite compares the to majesty of the lake.”

“This is the cottage that raised me, made me curious, and gave me the gift of the water,” he continued. “Forever grateful to the family that always welcomes their ‘adopted’ son with open arms and a fresh set of sheets.”

Liu and Hsu got the full cottage country experience — boating, jumping off of the dock, waterskiing, jet skiing, and of course, lazy afternoon naps on the couch.
