What it feels like to stay here
Horseshoe Valley Resort occupies 1101 Horseshoe Valley Road West in Barrie, Ontario, with its Slopeside Condominiums set at the base of the resort's own runs. Each newly renovated suite runs 1,188 square feet, pairing an open-concept living and dining room with a gourmet kitchen, a den, two washrooms and a gas fireplace. Every suite has a balcony looking out over the ski hill. The primary bedroom holds a king bed, while the second bedroom can be booked with either two twins or a queen. Kitchens come stocked with dishes, cutlery, essential pots and pans, a coffee machine with filters, a kettle and a microwave. Daily housekeeping is not part of the condo stay: guests staying past three nights receive a complimentary towel and amenity refresh on the fourth day, and stays beyond seven nights get full cleaning service on the eighth day. A nightly resort amenity fee of $39.95 per room folds in parking, wireless internet, the indoor pool and hot tub, pool towel service and the fitness room reached from the Inn's main foyer. From spring through fall that same fee opens up Lake Horseshoe with kayaks, paddle boards and a water trampoline, plus the outdoor pool, hiking trails, pickleball and beach volleyball. In winter it converts to snowshoe, cross-country and fat biking trail passes along with access to the ice skating rink. Beyond the condos, the property runs the Horseshoe Valley Club golf course, Vettä Nordic Spa, snow tubing, a Nordic Centre and lift-served bike trails. Reserving on the resort's own Slopeside Condos page requires a deposit of one night's accommodation, with the balance charged seven days before arrival and free changes or cancellation until that point.
