The August House

Welcome to The August House, a year-round, 11-room design-forward boutique hotel and intimate gathering space located in Windsor, Nova Scotia, at the intersection of the Avon and Annapolis Valleys. Connection is what this property is built for, so whether you’re here for a solo night away, a stay with your dearest, a Valley wine tour with friends, a team offsite planning session, or a 65-person wedding, you’ll find our rooms and gathering spaces invite you to (re)connect to life’s goodness at every turn.

We are low-touch, high vibe. You will feel our hospitality every step of the way (with plenty of delight layered in!), but with contactless check in – that means no front desk and freedom to come and go according to your own travel schedule – you can move through your stay on your terms. We promise, you’ll still feel our care in every detail: from the cozy rooms to the crowd-favourite breakfast, the soulful design to the easy, unhurried vibe that flows through it all.

All of it is our love letter to life’s goodness…and to each one of our guests who call this place home for the time they’re with us.

TAH is magic! We stayed two nights in adjoining rooms and it was cozy and welcoming. The generous hosts have thought of everything, from self serve espresso, fridge and ice, comfy beds, cool common areas, beautiful design and delicious breakfasts. Thank you for your kindness. We’ll be back!

Have you ever been to a place and instantly felt warm, safe and relaxed? That's what it's like at The August House - a home away from home. Their hospitality and graciousness are delightful, and the inn is a lovely mixture of cozy and chic.

One thing that really stood out to us during our stay was the attention to detail that the staff put into everything. From a hand written welcome note in the room to the delicious homemade breakfast in the morning , it was clear that every aspect of our stay was carefully thought out and executed with care.

Our world has changed so much in the last few years, and it’s been hard to not lose faith in the greater good...The love and attention and little details at the August House reminded me of what it feels like to care about and for one another. The cookies, the alcohol-free wine, the handwritten note, the bath salts, the high quality coffee… all of these little personal touches meant SO MUCH!

Photos don’t adequately showcase the charm and warmth - not even close. We felt at home immediately. More than the (stunning!) spaces, including the most comfortable bed, huge custom shower, and sitting room with wet bar - there is a special energy to this place that is uniquely personal and impossible to describe. Look forward to coming back soon!

The August house is straight out of a magazine. The owners thought of every single impeccable detail. The rooms are huge, the beds are super comfortable, and the atmosphere is a delight at every turn.

Best hotel we've stayed at during our Maritimes trip so far. Our room was airy with a luxurious bathroom, and the small touches like providing Epsom salts alongside the soaker tub were super nice. Breakfast was delicious and healthy. My husband was able to enjoy their cedar sauna as well which was included in our room rate

Delightful experience! Stayed here in midwinter, in between skiing days at Martock, and found a surprisingly lively downtown with live music happening in no fewer than three different spots! Fabulous breakfast, to boot--can't wait to come back!
