The cottage was super clean and had everything we could possibly need & more! The location was great: close to everywhere we wanted to go but still tucked away from main roads. And lots of outdoor space on the property for our pup to play!

Darlene is one of the best hosts I’ve ever met! Her cottage exceeds expectations and is located so conveniently on the island. She so thoughtfully stocked the house, which had everything we could have needed. Our only complaint was the mosquitoes in August (apparently a thing in PEI we were clueless about…), but she had bug spray and many mosquito coils ready to go. Highly recommend this lovely cottage! Better than any hotel we’ve ever been to.

Absolutely perfect stay! The location of this cottage is truly unbeatable — peaceful, beautiful, and exactly what you want when you’re trying to get away. The cottage itself has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay away from home. You can tell a lot of thought went into making it welcoming and fully equipped.One of the highlights was watching the wildlife right from the property — seeing a bald eagle and blue herons was absolutely incredible and made the experience even more special.If you’re thinking about booking this cottage, just do it. You won’t regret it.Awesome. Awesome. AWESOME!

Wonderful one week stay

Excellent property. Close to beaches and plenty of golf. If Anne of Green Gables is your thing you will be happy with the location (car required) Darlene was excellent. Property was super clean, had everything you may need during your stay. Would highly recommend a stay there!

Incredibly clean & has everything you need. A true home away from home. A great place for travelling with kids or just friends. Off the beaten path but close to everything. An amazing space to sit out on (either) deck and watch the stars. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Peaceful country escape

The cottage is very comfortable and quiet with a beautiful view of the river and expansive well maintained grounds. We really appreciated the National Park pass and used it almost every day of our stay. It is about a fifteen minute drive to North Rustico for groceries and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cozy private getaway with a picturesque view by the water

We were lucky to have booked this cute cottage for our family centrally located in the heart of PEI within a beautiful secluded setting w/ a view of the water. The cottage was fully stocked with absolutely everything you need, and clean! The cottage was perfect for a family of 4 and with plenty of room to spare. Also, communication with the owner was welcoming, prompt and efficient! We definitely will be booking again, so we can make more memorable memories very soon!!

Beautiful!

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was spotless and well appointed. The property is beautiful, private and on the water! We saw wildlife including herons, eagles, cormorants and a fox. The host was instantly responsive when needed, but we really didn’t need anything. Our two dogs had plenty of space to stretch their legs. We would love to return someday!

Great place. Great location

I won’t repeat everything other reviews have already stated. Was a great week in PEI and this Cottage was just perfect. Only FYI for travelers with kids is that the WiFi is slow and not reliable. But considering where the location is it’s not surprising. Also not much cell service. Darlene provides everything and is available. We mostly enjoyed the coffee maker. Laundry. Thank you for also having camping chairs. The kids liked the bunk beds and upstairs play area. Will look to stay there again. Location is good for access to various island spots.

PEI trip September 2023

The cottage was wonderful - everything we needed for our 12 day stay with 2 grown up children. Such comfortable beds and beautiful soft linens, the upstairs has 2 single rooms, a bathroom, sitting area and balcony so perfect for older kids/teenagers. Great space for jigsaws too! Baskets full of toiletries in case you have forgotten anything - such a kind touch! You will need a car - that goes without saying - but there is lots to visit and shops/petrol stations nearby. View is amazing! Saw herons, eagles, geese, skunk and many fishermen! Fire pit, table and chairs on the deck, and garden chairs meant there was loads of outside space to enjoy. Instructions are in the house and Darlene was so helpful and informative when we had questions. Would definitely stay again. Thank you both

Great PEI property close to the National Park, North Rustico and Cavendish. A short drive for wonderful walks, safe bike rides and restaurants. The Blue Mussel Cafe is a must try and just 3 minutes away. Darlene and Wade have anticipated your every need. We were wanting for nothing. Would highly recommend to everyone who wants quiet evenings out of the Charlottetown.
