Your Stay

Bring the bike club in the summer. Relax with family and friends in the winter.

Situated in the gorgeous Almaguin Highlands region, Missing Link is an all-season lodge on our organic farm, a perfect retreat for exploring what our region has to offer, both on and off the farm. During the summer and fall, we help cyclists experience the great options for gravel and paved riding. During winter, you can enjoy a snow filled get-away with snowshoe and fat bike trails around our farm, a great tobogganing hill and an outdoor firepit.

Santosha Farm

Our co-located organic veggie farm!

Since 2012, Julia and Rob have been tending to the fields, testing growing methods, selecting crops suited for our northern climate, and building soil health. The result is a unique stay experience bringing new meaning to field-to-fork. Guests often come for the riding and come back to experience the fusion of farm, food and two-wheeled fun.

Wow, just WOW! My Missing Link Adventure Tours weekend experience was fantastic! Such a great time hanging out with like minded cyclists and making new friends. Julia and Rob’s hospitality was top level. Julia’s culinary skills are simply amazing. We were delighted beyond words with each dish she served. Farm fresh food that was absolutely delicious! Rob’s knowledge of the local cycling opportunities and flexibility in preparing us tailor made routes was awesome. Some of the best gravel riding I’ve experienced. This was my first experience. I will be back!!

Gravel camp was the perfect weekend away and provided the opportunity to push oneself in distance and elevation, as well as overall training load. Rob & Julia are the most gracious hosts. Julia spent the entire weekend working tirelessly on their farm and in their kitchen to prepare gourmet meals with the freshest of foods for us. The food was absolutely exceptional! And Rob did an amazing job of planning out different gravel routes as well as being flexible and altering the weekend to best fit our goals. I'm not entirely sure I would've made it through the 100k in the heat without his support! And it was so inspiring to have to chance to cycle with Adam Hill and learn from a true pro! Other notable mentions were the outdoor shower, the cleanliness of the farm's accommodations, and their lovely dog. I highly recommend this weekend to every foodie cycling enthusiast!!

I had a wonderful time participating in Gravel Camp at Missing Link Adventures. Rob and Julia are extremely friendly, welcoming and interesting to hang out with. The gravel riding in the area is phenomenal....best I've done in Ontario. The food was second to none. All fresh, local produce and meat, expertly crafted into a seemingly never-ending variety of dishes. The house and farm were fun to hang around and explore. I'm already looking forward to going back with my wife next summer.

I stayed at Santoasha Farm during a week long retreat at The Workroom, and WOW, Julia and Rob are the most incredible hosts. The farm house is modern and very well-kept. They prepared daily meals for us and every meal was absolutely delicious and nutritious. It’s clear that Julia and Rob care a lot about their guests, local food and the environment. I will absolutely stay there again in the future. Thank you Julia and Rob, you’re amazing!

One of the best, most wholesome group biking experiences I've been a part of. Rob and Julia are gems of human beings, and they have a beautiful space that feels so welcoming and peaceful. The food is incredible, all made with fresh ingredients from their farm. And the riding is challenging, but exhilarating. I was a beginner rider, and even though the trails were fairly advanced (with lots of hills), Rob helped me adjust the routes to my skill level. Will definitely be going back again!

Absolute pleasure to collaborate with Rob on a women's gravel bike weekend! From start to finish, Rob and Julia took great care of all participants, ensuring everyone's needs were met, from on the bike support to comfortable and super clean accommodations and nutritious farm to table meals catering to different dietary restrictions. And, gorgeous gravel riding up there!

FIVE STARS! Missing Link Adventure Tours offered the perfect winter weekend experience! The fat bike riding on expertly designed and well groomed trails, the outstanding food, and the beautifully appointed accommodations were only eclipsed by Rob's and Julia's exceptional hospitality. Their passion and knowledge is inspiring! I can't wait to return!
