Though this spacious and modern inn is pleasant enough, it’s the location—on the outskirts of the Ganaraska Forest—that makes it worth the trip. Take a guided ATV tour of the 10,500-acre woodland; the full-day excursion follows smooth trails at speeds geared to riding ability, with a stop for a catered lunch. For those who would rather walk or ski, separate trails are clearly marked. When you’re finished roughing it in the bush, the accommodation offers all the comforts of home. Of the four guest rooms, the Ambassador Suite is the most luxurious, with a balcony, a Jacuzzi tub, earth-tone decor, and a king-size bed. A full breakfast can be served in the dining room, on the porch or in your room. A ground-floor lounge keeps guests busy—have a game on the air hockey table, work up a sweat on the treadmill, or relax in the sauna.
