Best Things Nearby:
Town of Barrie, lots of shops, and a mall or two

Best Things About the Resort:
Indoor/outdoor pool, restaurants on-site, quiet in the woods, exceptionally clean unit

Resort Experience:
Check-in was quick and easy. We went right across the parking lot for beverages and then drove to the unit, 5 minutes. It was a very nice one-bedroom Jacuzzi suite, with a full kitchen, gas fireplace, etc. We hiked most days and then hit the hot tubs. There is a casino (20 minutes). We saw a rock concert, ate, and had a great time. We signed up for a murder-mystery dinner at the resort our last night, the best time we've had in years. We laughed till we cried. I highly recommend it if you get the chance.
