What an amazing experience!! Ashley performed a distance Reiki Session on me as i was sick and not able to physically make it into the spa. Ashley sent me a picture so I could see her working area (to physically connect and treat me. She explained how she would treat me and started off with chanting and mantra. I could feel her energy all throughout the treatment. After I felt so relaxed and lighter. I had the best sleep I had in months that night! The next day Ashley called me to follow up to see how I was feeling and to explain the energies that she felt during the treatment and blockages. They all made sense and I was truely amazed!!! I cant wait until to book another treatment with Ashley!! Thanks again! - Francine Power

Barrie’s waterfront is beautiful! There’s always something going on during summer weekends - festivals, celebrations, musicians - lots of activity. During the week it’s great for a daytime or evening stroll along the boardwalk. Fabulous restaurants nearby. The beach is great for a mini summer getaway for the day. There’s even a giant floating water park called Splash On with fun for young and old alike. There are also several boat launches. This is one of my favourite places to be in Barrie!

We were there for a Christmas party. I had a flight and liked all 4 beers I chose. Also had a couple of others. Their pickle pizza is awesome (if you like dill pickles). We also had their nachos which were very good as well, word of warning - they are huge - definitely for sharing! Our sever was great and knowledgeable about the beers as well. I will go again!

The trial has recently been upgraded with signage making it wasy to know where are and to exit at all times. For the mtn biker there are tons of strata segments. Main trail is mainly flat a view small climb. Single track has some decent up and down sections.
