Carriage Ridge Resort & Carriage Hills Resort

Built into the Horseshoe Valley area of Oro-Medonte in Simcoe County, Carriage Hills Resort has grown alongside its sister property, Carriage Ridge Resort, into a base for guests moving between hiking trails, ski hills, and golf courses through the seasons. Rooms range from studios with a kitchenette to one- and two-bedroom suites with full kitchens, fireplaces, and balconies. It suits families as easily as couples. Indoors, guests find a swimming pool, a separate kids' pool, a hot tub, a games room, and a fitness area; outdoors, there is a fire pit and barbecue facilities. A short walk away sits Vettä Nordic Spa, with wood-burning saunas, steam rooms, and outdoor plunge pools built on Finnish hydrotherapy tradition, and guests booking there can add a discounted night at the resort. Two ski resorts and Hardwood Ski and Bike's cross-country and mountain-bike trails lie a few minutes' drive off. You can cycle, hike, or snowshoe by day and return to a fireplace suite by evening. Local restaurants nearby range from pub grub to barbecue. It is a resort built for four-season use, not a single-season stopover, and its position among Oro-Medonte's hills keeps outdoor activity within easy reach year-round.
