Second Visit to Carriage Hills

An October 2005 trip to Barrie by Dennis Greaves

Carriage Hills is definitely a Gold Crown resort. The accommodations are wonderful. There are comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, great pool facilities and fitness room, planned daily activities, and accommodating staff. It is a beautiful scenic area!

Barrie Boat Cruise, Casino Rama in Orillia, Wasaga Beach, Penetang Summer Theatre, golf at Settlers Ghost, and boat cruise out of Midland

Best Things About the Resort:
Indoor/outdoor pool and hot tubs, planned activities, great staff, unit accommodations, and security

Resort Experience:
You will need a car to get around. It would also be helpful to contact the Barrie, Penetang, and Orillia Chamber of Commerce to find out what is happening in those areas while there. We attended a top-notch brass band concert in Barrie with a world-renowned trumpeter as a guest artist. It was wonderful. I understand that summer theatre in Penetang is great (Drayton Theatre). It's definitely worth the trip. The food is amazing. We ate home-cooked meals in our unit!! We can't say enough about this resort!
