This is both a great place to cross-country ski and a great place to stay. There's just one problem: It's a long way from anywhere. It's located about a half hour outside of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. We're from California, so it's a trial to get there, and we never would have found it except we have relatives in Michigan who go there. We've cross-country skied a lot of places, and Stokely is by far our favorite. Once you park your car in the parking lot, they take care of you. You ski in about a quarter-mile to the lodge (they bring your bags and anyone who doesn't feel like skiing on a snowmobile). There are something like 75 miles of groomed trails, with plenty of challenging runs for experienced skiers and lots of gentle trails through spectacularly beautiful woods for those who don't want steep hills. The lodge is pretty, but simple. Sort of Scandinavian in design. The lodge rooms share bathrooms, but the chalet rooms mostly have their own baths. The food is plentiful and good (it used to be fantastic, and we keep hoping it will be again). A really wonderful place and worth the inconvenience of getting there.
