Loved this trip! We did it as a group of 5 adults and have even gifted it to friends because we enjoyed it so much.
Lots to see and do - the 'Hidden Gems' truly are places you wouldn't likely stumble upon if you weren't looking for them but each spot was cozy, interesting and picture worthy. The food/wine recommendations were delicious and offered a decently wide range of options to choose from.
Our group of 5 ranged in age from 27-63 and the trip stops/terrains were appropriate for us all. Parking at one stop on the "a few must do's" list is a little bit tricky as you need to create an online account in order to add your vehicle and pay for the spot, no cash/card payment option was available at the lot. That being said - the stop was very much worth it!
We're thrilled that your group had a fantatic experience! Isn't this area of Ontario just the prettiest?! :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!

We had the absolute best trip! Although the weather was expected to be very rainy on our first day, we packed our bags booked a trendy boutique motel and made a night of it. We explored 2 provincial parks, the cutest little artsy towns, found a lighthouse house, enjoyed a couple cafés, ate the best pizza, and took in a mystic lake. It was the perfect area to explore and so much to see! We can’t wait to go back and see the stops we missed.
Aw, we love this so much!! We're so glad you had a fabulous day of exploring, and hopefully you can come back to the area again and visit all of the other options. :) Thank you so much for leaving a review!
