Perched on the edge of Lake Ontario and set directly off the main street of Wellington, amid a burgeoning community filled with some of the best wineries, shops, and restaurants in Canada, Drake Devonshire is an all-season rural getaway that celebrates the warm, quirky charm of a historic country home—yet one that is adorned with sleek, bold, and modern design in every corner. This is an art-filled, inspiring world of black, white, and natural woods augmented by bright splashes of color and patterns throughout. A cheeky nod to “rustic Canadiana”, the 13-room boutique hotel, with a restaurant, bar, and beautiful event areas—including a large, barn-like space with an indoor/outdoor fireplace and cozy vintage furniture—welcomes guests with uninterrupted views of Lake Ontario and a living room fireplace that sets the tone for relaxation and inspiration. The hotel’s stunning art installations—such as a breathtaking, multilevel piece by artist Kristen Hassenfeld—cultural programs, and menus that represent the bounty of nearby farmers and vintners add creative flair and local flavor to this one-of-a-kind Wellington, Ontario retreat.
