🍁 5 Boutique Hotels to Experience Canada’s Fall Colours in Style
Where crisp air meets curated comfort.
🍂 Fall in Canada Is Fleeting — Make It Count
The trees go golden, the air gets that perfect crisp edge, and towns across the country start smelling like wood smoke and apple pie. It’s short. It’s stunning. And honestly, it’s my favourite time to sneak away.
If you're planning a fall trip and want something that feels more personal than a big-name hotel, I’ve pulled together a list you’ll love.
These five boutique stays across Canada are all under $1,000 a night — each packed with design charm, cozy vibes, and the kind of detail that makes a place feel like a true escape. Below are the first two. If they speak to you, there’s a link to the full post so you can see the rest.
🏨 Merrill House – Prince Edward County, Ontario
🍷 For art lovers, wine chasers, and seekers of cozy-luxe autumns.
Housed in a gothic 1878 mansion, Merrill House is what happens when bold design meets wine country heritage. The rooms are curated like little galleries — layered with wallpaper, art, and personality. Fireplaces crackle. Antique accents glow. And the cellar? One of the best in Canada.
Dinner at Brasserie Alexandria might include duck confit, heirloom squash, and a Pinot Noir you’ll be thinking about all winter.
🍁 Fall highlight: Harvest vineyard tours, fireside ghost stories, and pumpkin-festival road trips with hot cider tucked in your mittens.
🌊 The June Motel – Sauble Beach, Ontario
For retro-chic road trippers and cozy couples.
Just steps from Lake Huron, The June brings vintage surf vibes to a fall getaway. Think pastel doors, rosé at check-in (yes, even in October), and sunsets over a wide, quiet beach. The rooms have private patios, the firepit scene is intense, and the whole place leans into laid-back luxury without trying too hard.
Evenings are best spent under string lights, sipping something warm, and knowing you booked the right place.
🍁 Fall highlight: S’mores kits by the fire, bike rides through leaf-covered trails, and hot toddies that taste like sweater weather.
