My wife and I had a wonderful and very relaxing experience here during the week after Christmas. Fresh snow made everything picture-perfect. Cathy and Ernest were very personable and helpful from start to finish. The lodging was warm and comfortable, and the food delicious. The Speakeasy and Lantern-lit Sleigh Ride experiences were good fun and original. We did some easy snow-shoeing on-property and went cross-country skiing at the nearby Paul Smith VIC. A real gem.
