The space
Each bedroom is designed to highlight a piece of Kingston’s identity, blending comfort with locally inspired themes that bring the city’s history and natural beauty into your stay.
Bedroom 1: The Blush Shores Room | Queen Bed Inspired by Kingston’s serene waterfront and soft sunrise hues, the Blush Shores Room blends warm blush tones, calming neutrals and touches of gold to create a relaxing and elegant retreat.
Bedroom 2: The Wolfe Island Mills Room | Full Bed Inspired by Wolfe Island, the largest of the Thousand Islands and a beloved Kingston escape known for its windmills, ferry rides and pastoral views. Coral and aqua tones capture the island’s breezy coastal charm and bright rural landscapes.
Bedroom 3: The Cataraqui River Room | Full Bed Named after the Cataraqui River, the waterway that flows through Kingston and forms part of the historic Rideau Canal system. Soothing shades of green reflect Kingston’s peaceful riverbanks and lush natural spaces.
Throughout the home, you’ll find goods and products crafted by locally owned Kingston businesses, from small-batch coffee to handmade décor accents. By featuring and supporting these makers, The Yellow Door Retreat helps give back to the community and celebrates the creativity, talent and heart that make Kingston such a special place to visit.
