Let me start by saying that my parents are long time visitors at this "resort". They usually stay in the full unit (large unit with 1 bedroom, and the studio). At the time of booking we were advised that they do not have any full units available so we were given two weeks instead of one, the first week in... More

We have stayed here a few times and the area is fantastic to stay in. The resort is quiet and in off the main road slightly, so not lots of heavy traffic to contend with. There are lots of things to do and see in the local area whatever time of year you stay. Barrie, Orrilia, Collingwood are all close... More

The location of the hotel is very nice and is within 30 minutes drive from Barrie, they are also reasonably priced. I've stayed in the hotel for two weeks period this spring. However, on day 6 of my stay, I've noticed around 10 spots on my arms/ledg that to me looked like a rash. That day (easter saturday) i've been... More

This place is unique-- very relaxing, peaceful and serene despite place is full!!! Only less than 1 1/2 hours from Toronto.You don't see and feel hectic and rush as compared to Blue Mountains.. Being inside the suite or 1 bedroom is stress-free-- guess the color combination, set of furnitures, different shapes of lamps and lights.. Amazing.

We have stayed at this resort several times. There are 2 resort complexes. They call the other Carriage Hills. You actually check in at the Hills section. You can access the downhill or the cross-country chalets of the Horseshoe resort for your ski passes from either the Hills or the Ridge site. The downhill run is not a black diamond... More

We stayed for three days, we enjoyed our kitchenette style room, our room was very large and comfortable. The beautiful ski trails were nice both for downhill and cross country ski. We were never bored, we enjoyed the variety of close facilities such as the hot tub, the indoor pool, which was not crowded at all, and the arcade/games room.... More

The one bedroom suites are great for the family. New big kitchen/living area. We enjoyed all the winter fun and then headed back to the suite to relax and have a nice dinner. Hot chocolate on the deck in the morning before skiing is wonderful. Kids love the pool!
