Carriage Ridge Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort

Located in the Horseshoe Valley area of Canada, and one hour north of Toronto, the Carriage Ridge Resort Carriage Hills at Horseshoe Valley is a destination in its own right. Though it is close to sites like the Simcoe County Museum, the Casino Rama, and the Barrie Molson Center, it is the site itself that is a major, year-round destination. After all it is only three miles from the Horseshoe Ski Hills ski lift, the beauty of Lake Couchiching, the Kempenfelt Bay, and Mount St. Louis Moonstone Mountain. Around 60 miles from the Toronto Pearson International Airport, it is also less than 20 minutes from the thriving city of Barrie.

Because it is so close to the Horseshoe Valley Ski Resort, many travelers will want to consider it as their base for ski season. With such premium amenities as pools and hot tubs, an ongoing slate of resort activities, fire pit areas, barbecue and picnic spots, free Wi-Fi throughout, a fitness center, game room, kid’s club and pool area, 24-hour front desk, laundry services, a full business service center, and free parking, it can meet any group’s needs.

Rooms are limited to studios and one-bedroom suites. All are beautifully decorated and in style with classic ski lodge good looks. Each will have a home-like feel and feature a sitting room, dining area, kitchen or kitchenette with fridge, a large and well-appointed private bath, signature toiletries, high end linens, quality bedding, climate controls, a private deck, and more.
