Stay in Essex

We feature a curated selection of Ontario's best places to stay — including charming inns, cozy bed & breakfasts, boutique hotels, rustic cabins, lakeside cottages, resorts, lodges, glamping sites, farm stays, and lakehouses.

If your property is already listed, click the 'Claim This Listing' button on your property page. Claims are handled on CanadaForYou.ca, our national directory — one claim covers both sites. We'll send a verification email to confirm ownership, and once verified you can edit your listing details, add photos, and manage guest inquiries from there.

Yes! Basic listings are completely free. We seed our directory from public data so Ontario travelers can discover great places to stay. Paid plans with enhanced features — verified badges, featured placement, and Instagram promotion — are offered through CanadaForYou.ca, where listing ownership and billing are managed.

We cover all of Ontario's top destinations including Muskoka, Prince Edward County, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Blue Mountains, Algonquin, Kawarthas, Ottawa Valley, Thousand Islands, Georgian Bay, Haliburton, and many more regions.
