Local favourites

A few places our guests love most

Cayuga International Speedway

For the stock car racing enthusiast. Located in Ontario, Cayuga Motor Speedway opened in 1966 and has been a hotbed of stock car racing, drag racing and motorsports ever since.

Byng Island Conservation Area

Byng Island offers campers, boaters, anglers and other visitors a chance to explore the Grand River and Lake Erie. The 190-hectare park encompasses Carolinian forests, the river, wetlands and creeks — and its big swimming pool holds up to 1,000 people.

Dunnville Golf & Country Club

Established in 1924 and designed by Stanley Thompson — a classic course just three minutes from the motel.

Mudcat Festival

Named after the renowned fish of the Grand River, the Dunnville Mudcat Festival attracts over 60,000 visitors each year with a parade, midway, street dance, live music, fireworks and more. A Top 100 Festival in Ontario.

Ruthven Park — National Historic Site

What remains of the Thompson family’s estate is a southern-plantation-style stone mansion, out-buildings and spectacular grounds along the Grand — a beautiful Canadian historic site in Indiana, Ontario.

Niagara Falls

One of the largest waterfalls in the world — a short, scenic drive from Dunnville and an unforgettable day trip.

Make it a getaway

The falls, the forest, the river — and a warm room waiting for you at the end of the day.
