Odin Pours Rich Java in An Experimental Space

In the pleasing hamlet of Cataract, the Liberty Inn reimagines a 19th-century landmark as a rejuvenating getaway

There are some hotels that make me say, “This feels like a space I could live in,” and The Liberty Inn is one of those places. Each of its five suites has more of the tenor of a country cottage than a hotel room. Thoughtfully furnished living and dining areas invite lingering, smart kitchenettes welcome whipping up a meal and bespoke bathrooms beguile. The fridge is stocked with homemade strawberry jam, ready-to-bake croissants and oat and dairy milk. There’s a woodland spa and a garden, both within a pastoral setting, replete with birdsong, just steps from the Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. Though this boutique hotel is just a 60-minute drive from Toronto, it feels like a world away.
