Cozy Place! Great Service!…read more This is the second year in a row that I've stayed here - girls weekend getaway! We originally chose to stay here for the Spa package, location and room availability. We had a great experience during our first stay and decided to come back again this year. One of the key reasons we chose to stay here was for the Scandinave Spa package. Going to the spa was the main event of our trip. With this package, we got a spa entrance time slot (early afternoon) and avoided the waitlist upon arrival. We were also provided a comfy robe and water bottle through the Inn. Check In: Check in was seamless. We drove up to the main house (also where breakfast is served) and we were greeted once we walked in. Everyone was very friendly. We were able to check in right away. We got our spa bags, a map of the grounds and some general information (i.e. Wi-Fi, best/least gravel-y roads, etc). We were then showed/oriented to our room (which was located in another building) and the Inn's facilities. Room: We stayed in "Duntroon Croft". Previously, we stayed in "Ben Nevis Croft". Both similar. Cozy room with country cottage feel. We were a group of four and the room was a perfect size. The room was two-stories (loft and main floor). Loft had two twin beds and there was also a king bed on the main level of the room. There was a Jacuzzi tub in the room and also a shower. The room had a seating area in front of the TV, a fireplace, a mini fridge and a shared balcony. There was complimentary pop, popcorn and bubbly! There was also a communal area in the building, on the same floor as our room, with seating, games, DVDs, microwave, etc. Property: Beautiful views! Coming from the city, this was very refreshing. Grounds seemed well maintained. There was a saltwater swimming pool with seating and also a hot tub. We enjoyed using both. There were other amenities too, like a gym, but we didn't use them. We explored the grounds a bit - there were horses, reindeer, etc. - and more, that we didn't have a chance to see. Also, our building had two cute little dogs that were very friendly and sociable.   Location: Again, really beautiful views and scenery! Just as a heads up, some of the surrounding roads are gravel and it can get quite dark when driving at night. This didn't bother my group, but is just different if you are used to city roads which are well lit and paved. Also, our GPS got a little funny when getting close to the Inn but there's a noticeable sign when you pull up to the grounds - you won't miss it! It's about a 20-minute drive away from Blue Mountain Village (fun to explore and get dinner) and the Scandinave Spa. Food: Breakfast was included and very yummy! I believe breakfast was 0800-1000. Each morning there was a buffet set up with a fruit platter, yogurt, pastries, etc. One morning, we had omelettes (delicious) which were made for us once we arrived for breakfast. Another morning was more of a buffet style with sausage, scrambled eggs and thick French toast set out! There was coffee on the tables too. Everyone was very friendly - we were greeted right away, offered juice, checked in on, etc. Very accommodating and felt homey. No other meals were provided for us so we brought some snacks and ate out in Blue Mountain Village and Collingwood. Wi-Fi: Included! Just as a heads up, I lost service when pulling up to the Inn and rarely got service during my stay. Not a big deal for me and again, there was Wi-Fi. Overall, very enjoyable experience. Very homey, intimate and country feel. Very calm, quiet and not overcrowded. Opposite from the busy city vibes that I'm used to, which some may or may not like depending on what you are looking for (I personally loved it for this reason). Yummy breakfast included. Great getaway for a group of friends - I also think it would be great for couples too!

There are a very gentlemen-like rooster, chickens, Iceland horses and ring deers. There is a wood-burning fire place in the guest room. The room decoration is just a simple country style. There was nothing too fancy. There are 8 guest rooms in the property we were staying as per information provided by Linda who is the owner of this country inn. She was so nice showing us 3 other guest rooms in another property just located 3 minutes walk away. These 3 guest rooms are all gorgeously decorated with in-room Jacuzzi bath tubs. Clare who came from southern part of France cooked us a very full and delicious breakfast with lots of freshly cut fruits, bread and pastries, French toasts, bacons and boiled eggs, etc. The complimentary bottle waters, pops and sparkling wine made us feel so welcoming! The Inn has a small DVD library. Room guests can borrow DVD movies to play in the bedroom. The phone reception was bad around the area. However, the free wifi and free fixed line phone calls solved the issue. Linda said that her hubby is going to install a satellite on the roof to improve the phone reception. We booked a spa package. Therefore, we were given a bathrobe and a bottle of water each for our day spa at Scandinave Spa. One downside of this Country Inn is that it is located outside of Blue Mountain. It was a 30 minutes drive from Petty River Valley Country Inn to Scandinave Spa and Blue Mountain Village. I drove all the way in the dark, and really dark, at night after dinner returning to the Inn. However, it was a different and good experience other than staying at a modern hotel!

Not there yet! We…read moreconsidered holding off reviewing this recent arrival to the Georgian Bay accommodation pantheon, given that much of its intended offering is not yet built. But because it is already marketing itself as a luxury experience, and to our mind charging as such, we feel the property is fair game to be reviewed "as is". And as it is at the moment, The Dorchester is, in fact, a glorified rooming house, given that it only offers bedrooms - no restaurant, no bar, no room service, no concierge, no minibar, and no reception or housekeeping after about 5PM. All you get for your money is your bedroom and free parking. In the morning, for breakfast, you need to hunt down one of Collingwood's rare-as-hens-teeth diners that open before 9AM (i.e. McDonalds). In the evening, in the immediate vicinity, there are scarce watering holes for a pre-dinner drink (except for one that seems bizarrely to only offer varieties of Caesars). Given that you only get a bedroom here, we can happily report that our King room was mostly excellent. Nice bed, superb bathroom, quiet, a cozy armchair. From a strictly personal standpoint, we do wish however, that guests could opt for sheets & blankets rather than the duvet provided, but such option is not available. Conversations with staff (during the hours that there WAS staff) revealed that a combination of water/plumbing and city permit issues have delayed construction on what is envisaged to be a bar, a restaurant, and a conference/meeting facility. We can only hope that all that happens, and soon. A rumour we heard is that the wonderful Tremont Cafe might somehow be part of the dining solution. Having just eaten there, we have our fingers crossed that this proves to be true. We would return just for that. But until this luxury-level rooming house becomes a fully fledged hotel, we will likely not return. We'd be interested in hearing whether other guests feel the same as us about their experience at The Dorchester.

I had the opportunity to ski at this private ski resort in Collingwood. It's a VIP place with a…read moremembership cost. The convenience is the lot isn't as massive but I can see people store their skis patrons don't need to lug their gear in for the season. It's definitely one of the few experiences where you just show up and ski. There are ample of tables and space and changing areas. The upper area there's cafeteria style food , prices actually quite good for slope side dining. In the evening (I THINK) members get complimentary alcoholic beverages. The overall ski condition was quite good- but it's because a few factors. - the mountain had no line up ( which was strange because the inside was packed with bodies). - the capacity was low I mean I waited in queue for maybe two or three groups to board before I got on. So the hills were not over run to the point it's the icy base. But there were some icy spots- which is Canadian conditions. - the interior change area and cubby were nice, with washrooms on all levels - key benefit for newbie skiers who struggle with boots. - there were no vape, weed or cigarette smoke in the area- probably a private club thing to ensure fresh air for all patrons. - there were no wild kids running or being ridiculous- I mean there were many kids, it might just be the culture of things. - parents came out with the babies even though they weren't skiing. -staff came by to clear trays - wow It was an overall very positive experience, I will have to rethink my ikon pass holding.

Before we even arrived, I had asked Doreen for recommendations in the area and she sent me such a great list. She also helped us get reservations at the spa. Once we arrived, Doreen also provided us with recommendations for dinner and directions into town. Both mornings Doreen made amazing breakfasts. She also left a box of snacks out and stocked our mini fridge with drinks. When we came back from the spa, Doreen had even made pumpkin pie and put some blankets out for us to enjoy it on the porch. The location is very central - its about 10 minutes to the spa and to town and all the hikes we did were about 20 minutes away or less as well. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back again next year.

The service was excellent and by seeing the smiles of the brewery workers and staff all are happy and not just hoppy to work here. My flight consisted of the Lot 9 Pilsner 4.7 abv, Urbock Dark Lager 6.0 abv and the New England IPA 5.1 abv. My spouse had the Premium Lager, a 5.0 abv Bohemian Lager.

All of their beers are brewed on-site, allowing visitors to enjoy the freshest brews available. The front area includes a bar with tasting options, and snacks available for purchase. For those looking to take home a souvenir, there's a variety of branded merchandise, and cases of beer available for sale. There also a free photobooth for guests to use. For an added touch of fun, they offer 45-minute tours of brewery that usually starts on the hour. There are three ticket options to choose from: - $15 - tour and one sample (original brew only) - $20 - tour and 4 samples - $25 - tour, 4 sample, and branded glass cup to take home. Those purchasing the 4 sample tickets will get to sample their original brew, and a choice of 3 others from 5 of their seasonal brews. The samples are 5 oz each. The interior is clean, well-decorated with ample seating indoor and outdoor, and has two single bathrooms for convenience. The staff here were all very warm and welcoming. However, the establishment is not wheelchair accessible. Overall, it's a fantastic spot to savor some beer and soak in a pleasant atmosphere.

Although long weekend made for prices to go up, I still would've rather preferred staying here than the other we had done so the last 3 times. This definitely brings light to the fact that you get what you pay for. Can't complain for anything as it was clean, had the basic essentials and a quaint balcony to look towards the sunset at the beach. They even have complementary free coffee in the office for those checking out or waking up early in the morning.

Service is prompt and LOCATION: Extremely convenient and surrounded by a number of stores. There's a Home Depot, Dollar Tree, 24-hour Tim Horton's and a 24-hour Metro encircling the building. Across the street is an A&W, Staples, small ski shop, Cineplex Odeon and a Chinese buffet. It's doesn't get better than that! BREAKFAST: There's a small selection of bagels, fruit and cereal and milk. What I enjoy the most is using the waffle machine - depending on the day, it can be plain, strawberry-flavoured or blueberry-flavoured - for breakfast; unfortunately, there's no maple syrup, just corn syrup. While the basics are provided, I wish that the hotel made a better effort to be more environmentally-friendly; paper plates are available but metal utensils and mugs would be better than disposables and Styrofoam. Both the Toronto Star and the local newspaper are available free of charge. PROS: A small pool and hot tub is located on the main floor. No charge for temporary storage. Clean, comfortable rooms that are very clean. CONS: The business room is small enough for one-person and is literally the size of a closet. There is no lounge area if you need to study; the breakfast area is off limits in the evenings. I'd definitely stay at Day's Inn again the next time I am in town. 4.5/5 stars
