Worth the drive
Why make the trip
From Kitchener this is a proper road trip, the 401, the QEW, the bridge at Buffalo, then a long easy run west along the lake. Four hours, which argues for two nights rather than one. The reward is a small adults-only inn on a working estate, with the lake at the bottom of the lawn and no schedule attached to any of it.
Good to know
