Join us at a cozy and intimate retreat in a century home turned 5-star boutique hotel in Downtown Collingwood.
On a large lot with a quiet naturescape and mature trees at the doorstep, look up through the branches and feel the wind…feel the calm. Deepen your journey by wandering out somewhere: along the local trails, or to the water’s edge.
Enjoy the complimentary thermal cycle (sauna & cold plunge) onsite at the hotel, or gather and enjoy some moments of quiet reflection with a hot cup of tea, indoors or out.
Paying homage to the home’s 100-year history and the beauty of the Blue Mountains, the rooms at Somewhere Inn Collingwood blend old and new with moody ensuites, vintage loungers, bespoke furniture and restored original flooring. Meticulously restored and designed with a diverse mix of old and new, the lobby is the beating heart of the hotel, and it’s where we’ll gather together for breakfast and coffee, enjoy a laid-back afternoon hang-out, or late-night wine bar and shareable bites.
​
​At Somewhere Inn Collingwood, every element is designed to bring a smile to your face, peace to your heart, and inspiration to your soul.

Reconnect to the wisdom of your body...
...through our guided somatic yoga and meditation practices that we’ll lead at the adjacent Everlove Yoga Studio, a space created to inspire humans who want to continue to learn, grow and expand into their wildest potential.
​
Together with other kindred spirits who are on their own ever-evolving journeys, gather with us to dream, share, connect, support, and plan for your best year yet.
​
Come join us at Somewhere Inn Collingwood for the Dream Life Somatic Yoga Retreat.
Imagine this time next year...
...looking back on the past twelve months and being able to say “What an incredible year!” Reconnect with your inner compass and align your intentions and plans so that you’re following a roadmap that’ll lead you directly to your best year yet.
​
Imagine waking up each morning with a feeling of eager anticipation for the day ahead. When you know what you really want, and how to build your life around that, your days become truly purposeful, directed from a deep knowing that you’re on the right path.
​
Return to the harmony of being in resonance with your authentic, true self. Learn how to hear your intuition…to trust it, and to follow it. Understand how to handle any circumstance with clarity and focus, even under pressure because you know how to tell when something’s working for you, and when it’s not. Align with your authentic self, and let life become easy.
​
Become enchanted with your life again. Transform your life, starting with your inner self. Don’t let another year go by without putting your dreams and desires at the forefront.
​
Prioritize YOU. Stop letting time fly out the window like paper dollar bills while you stay busy with all the other things you ‘have’ to do or are ‘supposed to’ do, putting everyone else’s needs and wants ahead of yours. You don’t want to wake up one day and realize that your ‘someday’ never came.
​
Make this your time. Make today your ‘someday’.
Sit back & enjoy
Take a break from your usual routines, and let us bring fresh, gourmet food to you.
Delight your senses, one bite at a time with fresh, local gourmet dishes prepared by our talented caterers and local restauranteurs. Savour the art of dining in the 21st century where tradition meets innovation, and every meal is an experience worth savouring. Plant-based, dairy-free and gluten-free options are all available, so you can savour delicious cuisine just the way you like it.
Our caterers and restauranteurs were selected for their carefully crafted recipes and their use of fine ingredients with a commitment to quality. From classic comfort foods to international delicacies, you’ll enjoy South Georgian Bay’s vibrant food scene for breakfast, lunch and dinner, brought to you along with your morning or evening cups of hot tea and coffee, all included in your investment: delicious food that’ll both inspire and nourish you.
