Watching the Winter Olympics from the city couch is fun.
Watching them from cottage country is something else entirely.
Our cottages in the Haliburton Highlands and Algonquin Highlands sit close to real winter terrain. Real hills. Real snow. Real cold that makes you appreciate what you’re watching on screen.
When guests stay during the Olympics, the routine tends to look like this.
Watch a downhill event in the morning.
Head out for a winter walk or snowshoe.
Warm up by the fire.
Catch another event in the evening.
And for those who want to ski themselves, Sir Sam’s Ski & Ride is nearby and perfectly sized for a relaxed winter day. No massive crowds. No chaos. Just good runs and fresh air.
The Olympics stop feeling like background noise when you’re living in winter, not avoiding it.
