Crown Jewel Resort Ranch

This eight-suite resort boasts double distinction as an eco-friendly vacation destination, and most importantly, as pilot's paradise. Its 3,000-foot gravel runway (CDW2) sits on a ridge in the center of the resort property, offering stunning views of the Baddeck River and surrounding forests on both take off and landing.

At the resort, you can challenge yourself with horseback riding, hike with a llama, take a kayak down the Baddeck River, cycle the river valley, or ski across miles of untouched, cross-country trails. You can even command a team of sled dogs while exploring the wilderness.

But what makes the resort such a unique destination is its close connection with nature. Visitors during this time of year come mainly for cross-country skiing or the resort's winter speciality, dog sledding. You can take either half- or full-day expeditions behind a team of pure Canadian Eskimo dogs. The also offers resort-hopping, multi-day excursions where you can join a professional "musher" on a cross-country trip across the winter wonderland, staying at a different resort each night.

The Crown Jewel is also a working organic farm, raising Highland cattle, Scottish Blackface sheep, as well as fruits and vegetables that are nurtured with natural farming methods and precious little automation. The result is a truly special back-to-nature experience that will calm your harried spirit and take you back to a time when life was simple and hard work made for a good night's sleep.

The resort's lone restaurant is singularly elegant, offering a fixed-price, four course meal designed to please the most discriminating diner. Much of the food is raised on the farm, giving it a distinctive flavor and quality that is hard to find at most commercial establishments.

Clearly, Crown Jewel is a place to enjoy a different kind of life, which makes it special enough to be this month's resort spotlight.
