Ready for some end of the season riding in Ontario? The Domain of Killien is a beautiful B&B located on 5,000 acres just 20 minutes past Haliburton town http://domainofkillien.com/. Perfect for eat sleep and riding in and around Haliburton and Algonquin Park. Also makes a great weekend ride from Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal.

There are hills, lakes, beaches and trails on the property - it's very quiet, very relaxing. Everyone was professional and treated us exceptionally well. Regine, the manager and French ex-pat is also a motorcycle enthusiast.

Your stay includes all your meals which is so easy. The French kitchen is located in the lodge and serves up exceptional meals. Breakfast is a choice of specials and a breakfast bar. Lunch is gourmet sandwiches, fruit, drinks, hot coffee and snacks packed in a convenient backpack for your ride which meant we could stop anywhere and have a great and healthy lunch. Dinner is a four course menu of delicious quality. The wine and beer selection is versatile and good for food pairing.

We took a break from motorcycle touring and went for a hike on the trails. The trail we took led to a small island accessible by canoe where, we're told, attracts serious fly-fishing people. Canoe over past the island and there's a little cottage where you can have a snack before you paddling back to the mainland. If you're lucky, you may spot some deer just hanging about like we did.

In terms of cost, this is not a budget B&B, but if you factor in three great meals per day, times 2 people, it comes in at a normal cost. If you don't want to stay overnight, the restaurant is open to everyone for dinner. We loved it. We'll be back!

Here are two great rides in and around the Domain of Killien.

Where the first route may be a bit more speedy, this one is more scenic.
