Good lodge or place for getaway with non-snowmobiling wife

[Sksman]

Can anyone recommend a place for me to take my wife for a couple nights?

 

Within 3 or 4 hours or so of Toronto area.

 

Looking for a nicer place with restaurant on site.  Fireplace possibly for her to read by.

 

We might sled a little bit  or I might!

Elk lake Wilderness Resort is nice. Stayed there a few years back. Nice renovated cabins w fireplace. Meal plan was reasonably priced and food was amazing. They also have a sauna on site as well, plus premium fuel

Blue Spruce resort is located just east of Dwight on hwy60 and the Oxtongue river. They have nice cabins with kitchens, and fire places. If you want to dine out, there are restaurants in Dwight, Dorset, and Huntsville.

Couples resort in Whitney is popular..so I’m told, I’ve personally never stayed. Lots to do and see in Algonquin park and surrounding area. Plus…your right on the B trail if you wanted to go for a rip!!

its a bit of a hike but here's a couple of suggestions

Timmins- Cedar Meadows with the wolf cabins, they have a spa and a nice restaurant on site and wagon ride everyday.

 

Temagami Shores is quite night and the cabins/rooms are very well done.

 

Spectacle Lake Lodge has always been one of my favourite places to visit over the years. 

 

Hope this helps

Sprucedale Hotel and Spa . Trail right to the door ,dirt cheap no reservations required . Bring your own bedding and towels .

Thanks for the suggestions everyone   
 

a few to ponder for sure.

 

Best option might be to leave a day early and seeing as she has to work that day I can enjoy riding all weekend and she can sit by our fireplace at home!

What do you know about a non-sledding wife? 🧐  I was going to suggest Spectacle Lake as well.

I would also vouch for Spectacle Lk Lodge..being just off B trail easy area to stay and ride out of. I’ve visited and eaten there several times but never stayed over night. Always great staff and seems to get good reviews 👍

Haven’t been there or in that area for years! Love it sound there. Great trails, great accommodations, and great hospitality

Appears to be semi open.     Renting cottages more than anything.     I see on their FB page they are offering monthly cottage rentals over the winter.

Edgewater pretty nice too if you get one of thier cabins. Restaurants usually good..

I also enjoy pembroke best western. Has a restaurant , gas across street, pool, hot tub.. easy trail access. Always enjoyed my stay there. Can go over to speckle lake lodge for day have lunch come back as one day trip. 
one other place for couples is sir Sam's in Haliburton. They advertise for sledders too. Never stayed there but it's nice place.

could always go to Deerhurst.

If you're only "possibly" going to sled, you can take the trailer and sleds to a drop off point close by - or hit them from the lakes once good to go.

Have you ever met my wife yet?  Or seen her looking out cottage windows in winter?
 

I am trying to be a nice husband and involve her the odd winter weekend.

 

When I considered buying a Harley she commented that she doesn’t see me from January to April and if you buy a bike when will she see me at all?

I thought that was the point of buying motorsports toys!

I am surprised she didn't order you a Harley, ATV, sled and book your accommodations. 🤣

I was at Sir Sams's to fix a phone line and its a nice place with restaurants and lounge and very close to the ski hill. I think its still on or close to the trail.
