Located on the scenic shores of Smith's Bay (near Morrison Point, Milford) in Prince Edward County.

We do have a peddle boat, single person kayak, a 2 person canoe and an aluminium boat.

You can bring your bikes (it's a cyclist paradise) and your water toys if you have. Hiking is great on the 48-kilometer-long scenic stretch of the Millennium Trail -this trail passes through farmers’ fields, marshes, and lush green forests.

There are 5 other cabins on the property 2-3brms & 3-2brms (Summer Only). You can rent the Big House and cabins for reunions, weddings or get togethers. In totals, you can host 36 guest between the Cabins and the Big House - be your own event planner!

Beautiful vacation home

7 adults and one 11 year old stayed at the Big House at Smith’s Bay. There was lots of room for everyone to spread out with5 bedrooms and a basement suite plus 3.5 bathrooms. The kitchen is really well equipped. The pool and waterfront with a beautiful view were a bonus. The owners live on the property and responded immediately when we needed anything.they also gave us the use of a season’s pass to Sandbanks and other great tips about wineries and restaurants. Highly recommended.

A pleasant stay at the Big House

Clean, well maintained with the property owners easily available. Pool was cleaned regularly. The big house was great for a multi generational gathering, though I can see how the stairs might be an issue for those with mobility issues. Unfortunately the water levels made boating & fishing difficult but that is something well outside the owner’s control. The fire pit was nice to hang out next to in the evening. Overall, we enjoyed the property very much.

Relaxing getaway in Prince Edward County at the Big House on Smith's Bay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Big House on Smith's Bay. We had everything we needed and so much room for 6 couples and a toddler. The swimming pool was a nice bonus. Sitting on the deck in the evening was a treat, especially watching the swans, herons and egrets that visited near the dock. We canoed, paddled and pedaled the boats provided and had a fire in the fire pit most nights. We made day trips to Sandbanks Provincial Park and several wineries, and explored Picton. The owners were friendly and helpful. Overall we had a very relaxing getaway in Prince Edward County. Highly recommend the Big House for a family gettogether.

Relaxing!

This beautiful location , right on the water, was very relaxing and peaceful. We had very hot weather during our visit the the pool was definitely a plus! The big house was very spacious and you would hardly know there was 10 people inside.
