Edison's Inn

Southwestern Ontario


Edison's is a mid-century-meets-shabby-chic dream with just three rooms, all with clean lines, distressed wood elements and pops of color. Each has deluxe amenities plus unique knickknacks like turntables and chess boards that make you feel at home. The central location and relaxed atmosphere – including all-day breakfast – make it an easy place to land.

The inn is named after Thomas Edison, who lived in the building as a teenager while working as a telegrapher.
