Jacksons Falls Country Inn is the type of small, rural stay that gives Prince Edward County its character, a country inn away from the busiest beach roads where the evenings are quiet and the mornings begin with birdsong rather than traffic. We have little confirmed information about it, so we prefer to be plain: it is a country inn, it sits at a mid-range price, and the details of its rooms, dining, breakfast, parking and policies should be checked when you book. A country inn can mean anything from a handful of cosy rooms above a dining room to a converted farmhouse with a garden, and the question of whether there is a restaurant or a breakfast on site matters in a county where many small towns close early in the evening. Ask about the room layout, whether bathrooms are private, whether rooms have air conditioning, and whether the inn welcomes children and pets. The county rewards a slow pace. Between wineries such as Closson Chase, Norman Hardie and Huff Estates, the cider houses, the Millennium Trail and the small harbour towns, there is more than enough to fill a weekend, and a country inn is a good place to return to after a long tasting day. If you plan to taste wine, a stay where you can rest without driving far is a sensible choice, and a quiet inn on a rural road helps with that.
Location and getting around
The inn is somewhere in the rural parts of the county, and we have not confirmed its exact position, so look at the map and compare the drive to Picton, Wellington, Bloomfield and the beaches before you reserve. Prince Edward County is larger than it looks, and a trip from one end to the other can take the best part of an hour. A car is needed for almost everything, so ask about parking and about the nearest places to eat in the evening, as rural roads can be dark and restaurants may close early outside summer.
Rooms and atmosphere
Expect a smaller, more personal stay than a resort, with a limited number of rooms and a relaxed pace. Ask whether rooms are in the main building or in an annex, whether there is a shared lounge or a veranda, and whether breakfast is served. Country inns can have older buildings with creaking floors and individual charm, which some guests love and others find less comfortable, so read the room descriptions carefully and ask about heating in the cooler months.
Who it suits and good to know: it suits couples, friends on a wine weekend and anyone who prefers a calm country setting to a busy beach. It may not suit guests who want a pool, a spa or a late-night bar, and families with young children should check the inn's policy first. Confirm the check-in time, particularly if you are arriving late from Toronto, and read the cancellation terms before you pay.
Rooms in the county sell out quickly on summer and long weekends, and many small inns require a minimum stay at peak times, so reserve early. Compare it with the Bloomfield Inn and the Waring House on this page if you want more services. When you check availability, please also check what is included, since the details can change.

Good questions
Is breakfast included at Jacksons Falls Country Inn?+
It depends on the rate and the season, so check what is included when you book.
Is the inn good for a wine weekend?+
A quiet country base can suit a wine weekend, but check the drive time to the wineries you want to visit and arrange a driver if you plan to taste.
Do I need a car?+
Yes. Prince Edward County is spread out and public transport is limited, so a car is the easiest way to get around.
