About the host

Host profile image
For twenty years our family has wanted to give our customers the unique "Canadian" summer experience of vacationing on waterfront in Prince Edward County. We are proud to say that many of our customers return to us each year to enjoy this little bit of paradise.

Why they chose this property

This property is quiet, unique,... and a wee bit off the beaten track in the south east side of "The County", on Smiths Bay. We offer 3-3 bedroom cottages on over 330" of waterfront property. Each cottage is separated by trees and hedges for utmost privacy. A wonderful escape for families and couples alike.
