Oh Labour Day... the holiday that signals the start of a slower pace for us, but back at for all of you!

This past weekend, guests were treated to tornado warnings, rainy rides, the calm after the storm, daily dips in a great lake, some big band, a little southern hospitality after the circus found new monkeys all while Kevy kept up the season long Spring mowing regime.

Guests came from Russia by way of Toronto, Brantford, St.Thomas, Morpeth, Wallaceburg, Kitchener, Tilbury, Canton MI to spend the dwindling days of summer on Pelee Island.

September is a beautiful time to visit Pelee. It stays warmer just a little longer here and you can catch some beauty summer days into October. Check online for availability and get in where you fit in!

Yes. We heard. The Pelee Islander is not running through this holiday weekend.

We have a policy that provides refunds for ferry cancellations that prevent you from getting here. While there is actually a bigger ferry that might be able to get on we will honour the policy in place because we don't need to argue with people.

So...we have this policy because we understand it's the cost of doing business on Pelee and we chose to run our Inn here knowing this.

Instead of stomping our feet and screaming about the unfairness of it all...we are gonna say thanks to the PI crew and Ontario Ferries peeps that crewed extra sailings this season so far. Thanks to the ticket agents for always finding a spot for us and looking after our guests when they can. Thanks to the linemen(women) who help us when we have too much freight to drag to our vehicle.

It's an island. It doesn't really work like the mainland and that's the point, isn't it?

We also have a "no jerk" policy that anyone at OSTC is welcome to steal because life is too short to suffer jerkholes.

Monday! A fresh start at a new week with fresh starts all the way around...

This weekend we welcomed new turkeys, news of newlyweds, the newly engaged and new homeowners! Congratulations to George and Oksana on their wedding, Logan and Sarah on their engagement and Amber and Chaos on their new home! Today, Amber gets her house on Pelee, just a stone's throw from the Inn and we're excited for her as she settles in at home.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Make it a good one 🌼💫

Monday that feels like a Sunday....

Where to start?

This weekend the water spouted off more than the usual suspects, the Vanessa cardui brought some peace to the Cassandra complex, the fire will burn itself out as the swan song plays and we will dance to the beat of our own drum, got it?

Guests from Athens Greece‼️, Newmarket, Burlington, London, Belmont, Buxton now Windsor, Marblehead OH, and Kingsville came together on Pelee Island. They hit Stone & Sky, sipped the vino by candlelight "weather" they meant to or not, biked the whole place and walked 28k for the best reasons.

Not bahahahahahd for a simple Inn on a quiet island, eh?

Good availability due to cancellations leading into Labour Day. Get a little more out of summer and book online any time at your convenience.

* Bonus for our US guests, your stay is tariff free... for now. 🤪🇨🇦💪

Free falling into the weekend with a sweet whip, some good sips and a few tips.

The El Camino was cool as AF, the fire was fire, the Pavilion was fully reserved, and weather under promised and over delivered as guests from Blenheim, Whitby, Niagara, Dover, Canton MI, Mount Brydges and Aylmer explored Pelee on their own schedule

Thanks to everyone who made our week swell! We loved seeing some return guests and hearing how some new people found us.

We are a simple Inn on a quiet island.

We're not for everyone...and that's a good thing.

Book online, anytime at your convenience.

We close Oct.31! ✌️✌️

Mid August energy is here!

The 'Murican kids are back at it while the Canuckians have a couple weeks left yet!

This past weekend guests from Markham, Put-In-Bay, Guelph, Kingston, Ottawa, Burnaby, Toronto, Peru, Columbia and Dover came to Pelee for a little less noise, a coupla few people and plenty of wine.

They spent their nights by the fire after biking the whole island, finding their beach, wondering why, playing a little dice, reconnecting with family and they walked right to the edge of Canada before catching Walk Off The Earth.

We are a simple Inn on a quiet island with 10 rooms with varying amenities to meet your needs while you are here. Our website has the best info on our little slice of heaven and you should absolutely snoop it before booking!

Mid week availability next week due to cancellations. Book online anytime at your convenience 🌼

This week the dipper dipped, the sun eclipsed and the perseids flipped over our heads while a few more grounded guests biked the trail, met baby KJ and found "the other" beach from another view.

Guests from Windsor, Guelph x 3, Markham, London, Stoney Creek, Selkirk and Leamington spent a few days in Canada's deep south in search of dark skies and quiet days.

The Innkeeps are keeping up with good help and good vibes only from Amber, Chaos, Marilyn and Darlene 💪🫶

One King Suite is available August 19-21, and the rest of the month is cooked.

See ya in September! Book online any time at your convenience ✌️

Long weekend vibes come to a close as we saunter into August...

This past weekend guests from Fonthill, Clyde, Oakville, Windsor, Blenheim, London and Guelph hopped the ferry to Pelee Island to get a little downtime at the official half way point of the summer 🌞

They shopped the shops, found out the 6th time is a charm, napped it out fireside, peek- a-booed a heart in the redbud, read and had some bud, tried to help the gnome find the elusive one bedroom or any bedroom apartment on Pelee to no avail, schlepped through ankle deep puddles to run away when the wine they fetched themselves ran out, and got a glorious beach day with perfect waves to close out the weekend perfectly 🏖️
