Phaeton, the first of the houses of the stone coach house
The Stone Carriage House says it all. It is a mid 19th century coach house which is now 3 separate homes each with its own distinct character. The building is steps from Main St. It is just a quick walk to the Regent Theater, restaurants and music. It is a great home base for exploring all that County has to offer: food, wine, beautiful scenery, and Sandbanks Park (and the rental comes with a park pass). It's location within town allows you to explore the surrounding area during the day but gives you the opportunity to return to your own pied de terre in the evening to relax with friends over dinner or a bottle of local wine. The house is filled with period antiques which create a feeling of yesterday year but the comforts of home. There are 2 other homes in the building each with small yards which would allow the possibility for several friends or family members to travel together but have some privacy. Phaeton is light and bright. It is the smallest of the 3 homes but it is still close to 1500 sq feet. It has a great east facing enclosed porch for a morning coffee. Each of the homes have their own unit is sophisticated and yet cozy. It would be ideal for a girl's weekend or a chance for two couples to spend time together or a family to spend quiet evenings after a day at the beach. You may want to glance at the other 2 stone carriage house listings. Each is different and has its own distinctive personality. This and my other 2 listings include a Sandbanks pass. The price quoted includes everything except tax. There are no extra charges for cleaning, laundry or internet.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The location was excellent. The host was also excellent. She was very friendly, great communication before hand and seemless check-in/out.
The property itself was a little tired in spots but charming and comfortable none the less. I would stay there again.
Location location location. Walk to restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores and LCBO
We were there for Thanksgiving. Arrived to find home well cleaned and didn’t think twice about being there. Cooked our turkey dinner in a clean oven and stored leftovers in a spotless fridge.
Totally recommend a trip to Prince Edward County.
Charming cottage in the heart of Picton. Walkable to everything downtown. Beautiful sunroom and kitchen with all the amenities to have the creature comforts of home!

Why they chose this property
Please see Barouche for comments. I fell in love with the County over 20 years ago. I have been looking for something unique that I could redo...Found it and have been painting and upgrading since. This particular unit is fun and a favorite of young couples or at least my children think so.
What makes this property unique
Nothing like it. Unique in the County but steps from Picton Main St. No worries about designated drivers or country roads late at night.
