We brought our granddaughter to the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory on her first birthday and when she was around five, we bought her a membership as well. Now it is a favourite place for ten year old Emma and Grandma to spend time together in the beautiful, peaceful setting every time we are able. I miss the discounts that used to apply to members, so I admit that we don't shop as much or bring guests, however this haven of rest is our happy place!

So my sister is getting married in a month, and her single request to me as she handed me my…read moremaid-of-honor cap was to organize some sort of pre-wedding, soul-sister-bonding, moon-howling, drum-circling, vegan-cookie-recipe-swapping weekend with her closest friends and relatives. It needed to be relatively close to Toronto, cheap enough for indy business owners' salaries, and big enough to accommodate 17 people, nine meals worth of food, and a heckova lotta love. No sweat, right? Thanks to this place, and Cindo, its chaplain, it really wasn't. Five Oaks is a large, sprawling retreat space comprised of smaller cabins, our own Chalet (in which our crew only occupied about 70% of the bunk beds), a pool, nature trails, wide open fields in which to play noodle hockey, and apparently God, although we didn't have much use for that element, and thankfully no one took notice. Our Chalet, while perhaps a little more industrial dorm than rustic cabin, boasted a sizable kitchen with new appliances and cooking utensils (pots and pans, etc), comfy bunk beds with clean linens, a gas grill, and a large fire pit onsite, only a quiet walk under warm, windy trees away. The staff was amazing: Cindo checked up on us like a warm aunt who is just so glad her investment of a summer cabin is paying off, and several others dropped by just to see how things were going and replenish toilet paper. The Chalet was a flat fee of $800 from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, which, split between 17 people came to decidedly less than a few rounds of tequila and renting a male stripper. Plus, parking is a breeze and Paris (or Brant, apparently?) is only an hour drive from Toronto along the 403. But take our collective advice: if you happen to decide to do the drive during the dinner hour, don't pull off in Hamilton and eat here: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/lazy-flamingo-hamilton#hrid:p9QIe8av3kylFN0KU4Rh8Q/src:self. You're better served eating the sesame oil and dish soap we left in the kitchen for the next lucky group.

Stone architecture and arched windows, it has undergone a number of renovations. It still feels "classic" to me. There are plaques on the front listing the names of those who fought for Canada in various conflicts. It was the center of local politics for several decades, and also various exhibitions, such as the travelling Edison "magic phonograph" demonstration in 1878. I did not have an opportunity to tour the interior today. A beautiful garden in the back complete with gazebo. There is a small parking lot. This is next to the playground which was fully occupied today! [Review 1457 of 2024 - 135 in Ontario - 22480 overall]

The venue has complete kitchen facilities, a full service bar with staff, clean washrooms, and a well lit clean banquet hall. The gentleman that we met with to book and organize with was most congenial and helpful. We used outside catering but hall allowed complete access to kitchen and fridges for our use. Also speaker setup for microphone/music/multi-media. Dance floor present but we did not avail ourselves. Our family has nothing but the highest recommendations for this site and will most certainly use it again.
