THE JUNE MOTEL

The June Motel was created by April Brown and Sarah Sklash – just two best friends who share a love for discovering new travel destinations, good wine and creative designs. In 2016 they quit their jobs in Toronto and made the leap into the world of motels, purchasing their first dingy roadside motel in Prince Edward County. They rolled-up their sleeves and re-imagined the entire experience of staying at a motel. Today, local hospitality is served-up with a chilled glass of wine at check-in – just the way they like it!
