If you’re looking for a mini getaway, staying at the rustic-yet-modern cabins at Deacon Escarpment might be for you. This is a unique 4-season experience with 30 km of trails, a private lake to canoe, more wildlife that I could identify, paw prints, and views that leave you full of gratitude. You can do everything here, from snowshoeing and ice fishing in the winter to hiking and canoeing in the summer.

Hugging the shoreline of majestic Golden Lake, you’ll find the Sands Inn, Restaurant and Spa. It’s the perfect getaway for business and leisure guests to meet, greet, eat, rest, and play. You don’t even have to venture off the Sands campus, for they have an expanse of lakeside activities and beaches just a step from their door.
Spend the day by the lake or in the spa before returning for a delicious meal at the Sands Restaurant, and finally, end your evening with a relaxing stay at the Sands Inn.

This café is unlike any other. It is a seed-to-table experience working with much of their greenhouse and farm-grown veggies/herbs to supply their customers with fresh and wholesome meals that fuel the body and soul. They offer home-baked goodies, specialty coffees with beautiful designs, fresh sandwiches and smoothies.
