Although the name suggests otherwise, the Blue Mountains is an actual town in Grey County that consists of several small communities including Thornbury, Christie Beach, Clarksburg, Heathcote and Ravenna. The area is very picturesque and scenic in the summer months and during "apple season" in the autumn, but the town is most famous for its mountains. Tourists flock to Intrawest's Blue Mountain Ski Resort year-round for its wide array of offerings. If you aren't in the mood for skiing or snowboarding, take a stroll through Blue Mountain Village and enjoy a coffee at one of the cafes or a meal in one of the many restaurants located in the village.

When you're paying $400-500/night you expect exceptional quality for the stay and ease of service ... instead ... From the day of my arrival it was one thing after another ... the fact that I had to pay for my whole stay plus the deposit upon check in is ridiculous ... my room smelled like wet dog when I arrived and had to set up me leaving for an hour so they could come in and ionize it (not sure what that is), the room was also dirty, all surfaces (wiped them down myself) ... also, the porch was filthy (full of bird droppings) I had to call front desk to have it spray washed. There was no replenishing of soap or lotion ... I asked for replenish of coffee n sugar and was told I needed to pay for it!!

The Village Suites are conveniently located in the heart of the vibrant Blue Mountain Village just steps away to endless resort attractions, dining, shopping, world class events and our Village Conference Centre. The hotel designs span from your historic railway accommodation to that classic mountain ski lodge. The Village Suites are comprised of three main hotel buildings including The Grand Georgian, Weider Lodge and Seasons at Blue. The Grand Georgian is the primary check-in location for the Village Suites offering a 24-hour check-in desk. The Village Suites feature seasonal outdoor pools, year-round hot tubs and fitness facilities.
We were at Grand Georgian building for a dance competition my daughter had the Victoria Day long weekend. The village was busy and so was the hotel but the front desk attendants were very helpful and fast making sure not to create long wait lines. Kudos to everyone but specially to the blonde girl with short hair in glasses, Kathleen, Keyla for assuring that all the needs were met on time. They were helpful with suggestions on what to do around the village. We forgot a book behind and after we came back, they arranged it super quick to receive it and during this time they apologized (even it wasn’t their fault) and opened the lounge room for us to wait. The housekeeping service was very nice also. Since COVID and everything, you have to request their service and they come and assist you. The pool opened that weekend and it was busy with mostly kids, it required a reservation for a time slot. Always a pleasure to be at Blue Mountain at every season of the year. Can’t wait to come back

Stayed in a deluxe room which looked exactly like on the hotel/Marriott site. Room was comfortable. Bed was good. Mattress not hard not soft. Blankets were comfortable and not hot. Room air conditioner wasn't too loud. Couch could convert into a bed which wasn't advertised. Though the couch cushions themselves had no density as when sitting down I fell all the way through. Sink, microwave and mini fridge in the room. Included plates and utensils which were great to have when bringing back restaurant take out to eat in the room. Coffee maker wasn't great as the coffee pods were too large for the small machine. Coffee maker also wasn't clean as a past room guest must've made instant noodles in it as my coffee came out oily and smelling like noodles. Bathroom was a normal bathroom. Shower itself was good with waterfall option, strong pressure and quick to heat. Toiletries were the Westin "Heavenly" brand which came in bulk refillable bottles and easy to use. Outdoor pool required reservations which was easy enough to do. Gym didn't have that many machines or weights. Actually the pool and gym were rather small considering the number of rooms at this hotel. Parking is available underground with limited spaces and $20 + taxes. Internet wifi speed incredibly slow. Was getting less than 2 Mbps during my stay. Was faster just staying on my mobile phone's 4G. Standard TV in the room -- not a smart TV. TV was in a weird position as well being way too high if watching from the couch. No soundproofing at all with the door. Could easily and clearly hear conversations in the hallway when lying in bed. Service at the front desk was quick and fantastic. Overall a fair room but not great value for money. Prices seem to fluctuate between $310 - $600 CAD.

Unwind in a quiet golf course community close to everything yet far enough away to relax and enjoy the forest. Minutes away are many restaurants, Blue Mountain Village, ski hills, golf courses, Georgian bay beaches, fishing, hiking, biking, wineries and craft breweries, art galleries, horse back riding, tubing on the Beaver River WOW are you tired yet ? come home to sip a glass of wine & relax in the hot tub , sauna or float in our salt water pool. Cool evenings sit by the fire pit and enjoy the view of Blue Mountain from our home nestled in its own little forest.
The host Laura was super personable and made an exceptional breakfast. Hot tub, sauna & pool area are beautiful!! Loved the location, super close to the Scandinave Spa & Blue Mountain village for dinner.

Heathcote Haven Bed & Breakfast has been called by guests "A Hidden Jewel" "An amazing retreat from the city!" It's an incredibly quiet setting with vistas that are stunning. We have 2 lovely suites that are are private. Each has TV,DVD,Bar Fridge,AC,WIFI. Some of our guests like to spend time in their suite, & others like to gather around the island in the kitchen to chat about their day & discoveries.
I recently stayed at Heathcote Haven with friends and used it as a home base as we tackled three portions of the Sydenham section of the Bruce Trail. I stayed in the spacious Valleyview Suite with a comfortable king bed, soaker tub and separate shower, mini fridge and large screen tv. Our rooms were located on the second floor of the home which provided us with privacy. Not that we wouldn't have enjoyed sharing our stories with Jocelyn who, in my opinion, is the perfect host. So friendly and accommodating but also left us to enjoy our time on our own. The rooms are very clean and the breakfasts were hearty. Thornbury is a short drive away which provided us with dinner on the two nights. I would highly recommend Heathcote Haven to Bruce Trail hikers or for anyone looking for a comfortable B&B, hosted by a most warm and welcoming (with a great sense of humor) host.

DO NOT BOOK. The owner Richard was extremely disrespectful and intrusive. He charged us for more nights than we stayed and then when confronted about it, he lied stating that we had caused property damage. Completely unacceptable for an owner to act like this. Not a very welcoming and or comfortable place to stay unless you like random animal bones around the house, clumps of mold in the fridge and bathroom, and a lying owner with abrasive staff. Ruined our family trip.

I would have given 4 except for theft. I left a tip for the cleaning staff on the first morning of a two day stay. When I got back to my room the first night the money was gone but nothing had been done in my room. No bed make up, no new shampoo, towels still in tub. I then checked to ensure nothing else was missing and it wasn’t. When I checked out in the second day I asked about cleaning staff and the front desk confirmed that the staff wouldn’t have been in due to COVID restrictions. So I let them know about the $10 that went missing and they chuckled. I let them know that it was theft but didn’t raise a fuss as I wasn’t missing anything else. Needless to say that I extremely disappointed that money was taken from my room. I wasn’t looking for compensation but I did find out that balconies were being painted and people were going in and out of rooms. Not for me to figure out but I would have hoped they might have shown a little more concern. What if it were jewelry.

Went to blue mountain in August for 4 nights with 2 teenagers and elderly mother. We stayed at the Inn. We booked a double room. Very disappointed with the lack of cleanliness. Checked in and found a layer of dust covering the furniture, phone, tv remote etc.(which I cleaned with my own Lysol wipes). The carpet was dirty and asked to have the carpet vacuumed-no one came. My daughter found old gum under the bed with crumbs. So obviously no one vacuums under the bed. So it gets better with having a wasps infestation. I personally had to get rid of 8 wasps over 2 days-they were coming in through the patio door which doesn’t open. The patio door has a failed seal thus the haze between the glass so you cannot see out the window, this is how the wasps were coming in. I did notify the front desk-maintenance never came. Blue mountain village, neighbouring towns-Collingwood and Thornbury are lovely. Wasaga beach a short drive was great. Craigleith provincial park-great for day use. Unfortunately I would not stay at the Inn again. Especially during this time, cleanliness needs to be a priority. There are many maintenance issues that need to be addressed. Not sure why hotels don’t invest in maintaining their properties to the standards that reflect the prices being charged. It reflects poorly on your business.
