Welcome to the Ashwood

The Bayfield Inn has come
under new ownership and will
be reopening as the Ashwood
Inn this coming May.
Kirsten Harrett, owner of
Deer Park Lodge and the Ash -
wood, came under ownership
of the Bayfield Inn property and
establishment in a way that she
describes as 'natural:
"Since Deer Park is right
across the way from the Bay-
field Inn, many of our guests
would overflow between the
two," Harrett said. "So when the
opportunity came up to pur-
chase this property, it was just a
natural thing for it to become
an extension of Deer Park
Lodge"
The Ashwood Inn received
its name naturally as well. Due
to the invasion of the Emerald
Ash Borer, the ash trees sur-
rounding the Deer Park Lodge
were on the decline. Instead of
destroying the wood, Harrett
said they decided to mill it into
new fumishings and decor for
the Ashwood Inn.
Originally built in 1982, the
building has seen many
changes under Harrett's owner-
ship, including renovations to
the 22 guest suites, new floor-
ing, new decor and a com-
pletely redone bar and restau-
rant called the Bourbon Bar.
The Ashwood Bourbon Bar
will be serving a selection of
sophisticated cocktails, wines
and spirits, including rare bour-
bons for the connoisseur and
connoisseurs -to -be. The

restaurant portion will feature
meals prepared by Chef Robert
Whyte, a professor of the culi-
nary program at Humber Col-
lege, using the finest and freshest
ingredients that Huron County
has to offer in order to create an
ever-changing farm -to -table
menu that is complimented by
what the Bourbon Bar has to
offer.
In addition to the Bourbon
Bar and restaurant, the Ash -
wood boasts a stage, state-of-
the-art equipment and an excit-
ing lineup of Canadian artists
for this summer, thanks to the
help of the Ashwood's general
manager and in-house music
director Peter Meades of
Meades Bros Productions.
"We will be home to well-
known travelling and touring
musicians and bands. We have
an eclectic lineup of music this
summer that transcends gen-
res," Meades said. "We will be
lucky enough to have a dining,
lounge and live music venue all
in one on various nights of the
week'
According to Meades, the
overall vision for the Ashwood
Inn is for it to be "a place where
food, drink and music can all
come together to create a
unique experience for its
patrons"
He believes this, "combined
with a phenomenal menu
matched with both classic and
creative cocktails is sure to give
guests something new:'
"We're aspiring to create a
welcoming and relaxed atmos-
phere for both guests and
locals," Harrett said. "We want
to infuse another element of
fun into this community
through music:
The Ashwood Inn is situated
on 19 -acres of trails along the
coast of Lake Huron. In addi-
tion to their pools, the Ashwood
also has access to a private sec-
tion of Bayfield's North Beach.
"We will be open year-round
and plan to partner with like-
minded businesses in the area to
promote Ontario's west coast as a
four -seasons destination, Harrett
said. "In winter, we'll have cross
country skiing, snowshoeing and
hopefully an outdoor skating rink
on our very large front lawn':
To encourage their guests to
drink responsibly, the Ashwood
will provide a complimentary
shuttle service called the Ash -
woody to pick people up and
drive them home safely.
The Ashwood Inn will officially
open on May 30 and will feature
the band Skydiggers on their
opening night To keep up to date
