Guides
Straight answers about this corner of Georgian Bay.
Four guides to planning a stay in this part of Ontario. They are written to be useful whether or not you ever book this house — which is the only reason anybody would link to them.
- Ski and winterPlanning a ski weekend for ten peopleWhich hills near Collingwood sell lift tickets and which are private member clubs — plus how to organise a group of ten without one person carrying all of it.
- CorporateHow to plan a company retreatTwo nights, one working day, six to twelve people, and an agenda booked to sixty per cent. Where the money actually goes, and when a resort is the better call.
- Groups and familiesSharing a house with another familyThe four things to agree before anybody pays a deposit, why bathrooms matter more than bedrooms, and how to book for three generations.
- Getting hereA weekend away from TorontoWhat the drive is really like, which route suits which side of the GTA, and how this region compares with Muskoka and Prince Edward County.
Why these four
Because they are the four questions we are actually asked, and because each one has an answer that is either missing from the internet or buried under a listicle. The ski guide states which hills on this escarpment are private, which almost nothing written about skiing in this region does. The retreat guide argues for a shorter agenda than any venue would recommend. The family guide is mostly about money and bedtimes.
They are not here to rank for a keyword and funnel you at a booking form. If one of them saves you an argument on day two of a shared holiday, it has done its job.
If you are further along than reading, the company retreat guide and the guide to the drive from Toronto are the two people come back to. There is also a page about who you would be booking with.
