Calabogie’s Somewhere Inn in the heart of the Ottawa Valley just might be the perfect destination for all things winter.
Like a boutique hotel, this thoughtfully designed roadside motel sits atop a small hill surrounded by forest, just minutes from the area’s Calabogie Peaks ski area.
Surrounded by forest, it offers glimpses of Calabogie Lake peeking through the trees in the most tranquil setting.
The property is meant to reconnect with the outdoors each season.
With swinging hammocks in the winter, lawn games and a year-round fire pit warming up to yoga for summer visitors, Somewhere Inn’s love of the outdoors is evident, with views of rolling mountains and lakes from every corner. You can enjoy the view.
The property’s outdoor fire pit is perfect for warming up and roasting marshmallows after a long day.
Rooms at Somewhere Inn are inspired by cabins decorated by Canadian artists and designers. There are no TVs in the rooms and they pride themselves on being ‘intentionally analog’, but if you want to extend your trip and work from ‘home’ there is WiFi and a desk.
Rooms at Somewhere Inn are intentionally designed without televisions to encourage spending most of the time outdoors.
