The June Motel, a boutique motel brand that built a large social media following in southern Ontario, has put its Beaver Valley location up for sale for close to $2.5 million.
The company, run by women founders who gained wider recognition after being featured on the Netflix series Motel Makeover, grew from a single property into a three-location operation spanning Prince Edward County, Sauble Beach and Beaver Valley. In a social media post, the founders said they had made the difficult decision to sell the Beaver Valley property after three years of operating it.
According to the post, the rural setting and operational model at Beaver Valley proved harder to align with the rest of the company’s portfolio. The founders said that as the business grows, they want to prioritize properties that allow for more consistency across locations while still expanding the brand’s reach to more customers.
Details Of The Listing
The real estate listing describes the property as an eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom building that is between 51 and 99 years old. It is marketed as a flexible space that could serve as a single- or multi-family residence, a corporate retreat, short-term rental accommodation, an event venue, or another hospitality concept such as a hotel or motel. The property also includes a staff suite with a three-piece bathroom and kitchenette.
The listing notes the location is about two hours from Toronto, near the village of Kimberley, and is surrounded by farmland and recreational areas, with views of the escarpment and proximity to the Bruce Trail.
Public Reaction And Ongoing Operations
The announcement drew significant attention online, with the social media post gaining more than 4,000 likes within a week and generating numerous comments. Some commenters suggested other ventures the founders could pursue, while others debated the motel’s pricing. One commenter said they enjoyed the Netflix show but felt the motel was priced beyond their budget, while others defended the rates as reflective of the amenities and overall experience offered.
The June Motel said Beaver Valley will continue to operate as usual until a buyer is found, with nightly rates starting at $250. The listing link is available through the company’s Instagram profile for those interested in the property.
