After graduating university, Founder Cassie Day felt lost trying to find a career that suited her personality, values, and lifestyle. It was then that one of her best friends gave her the most inspirational pep talk and told her to chase what she loved.

Imagine stumbling upon an Old Fisherman’s Motel in a small county, deciding to purchase it with one of your best friends, and then embarking on a journey to renovate it so that it could become one of Canada’s hottest accommodations for Bachelorette Parties, Girls Weekends, Date Nights & Weekend Getaways.

That’s exactly what Sarah Sklash & April Brown did!

I interviewed this power duo behind the popular June Motel in Prince Edward County, and it was so inspiring to hear the story of how this crazy idea turned into their reality.

The decor of this place is dreamy, and the rose you get upon arrival is just the icing on the cake.
