About this property

Highview Three Season Cottage - as low as $229CAD/nt - 3 Bed, 1 Bath

Follow or tag us on Instagram @Highviewcottagepei

Our spacious, well-appointed and secluded three bedroom chalet-style cottage offers an ideal relaxing getaway with a stunning view across the Southwest River in the picturesque fishing village of New London, 10 minutes from Cavendish National Park.
Our one-acre property boasts over 150 feet of south facing shoreline on the tidal Southwest River just a short distance from the mouth of the ocean.

The cottage itself is set back on a slope nestled among mature trees on each side affording our guests full privacy while still providing a gorgeous view of the river and valley from the living room, bedrooms and each of three large decks.

Our property has a 30 ft patio for lounging or eating. Guests have full access to our two sea kayaks. The front of the cottage faces to the South and as a result the property, deck and dock are blanketed with sunshine most of the day.

The cottage features comfortable furnishings and reclaimed pine flooring throughout — all carefully chosen to reflect a warm and inviting cottage ambiance. All new major kitchen appliances were installed in 2021.

We have new, high quality mattresses topped with quality cotton linens and summer-weight feather duvets, and have both bath and beach towels in good supply. Our bathroom is spacious and the claw foot tub is perfect for taking a leisurely soak at the end of the day but also boasts a wall mounted nozzle for showering.

We have outside lounge chairs and a picnic table for outdoor relaxation and dining as well as an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach. The cottage is equipped with a washer/dryer for guests' use as well as a Smart TV connected to high speed internet, DVD player and of course a BBQ for outdoor cooking.

Location is central to many north shore attractions including golf, beaches, lobster dinners, and deep sea fishing.

Pros: great location. Very quiet. Property was exceptionally clean. Host answered question via text very quickly. Lots of space for families. The kayaks and paddle board were great. All amenities listed (appliances, washer/dryer etc) were in working order. The eagle next was pretty cool to see. Cons: the basement was quite hot and humid, very damp smelling. There was a mouse in the ceiling in our first night there. The dock, as lovely as it is, is not conducive to swimming. The water was full of algae. Overall, I would stay here again however I would have liked knowing more info in advance regarding the swimming conditions. When an ad says beach, I assume that means swimming.

Lovely property, kind host, and breathtaking views, but…dead and alive large carpenters ants everywhere on the floor, bugs trapped in the bedroom ceiling lighting fixtures, and daily construction noise from the neighbour starting 830am hampered enjoyment. Recommended, just adjust your expectations accordingly.

Thank you for your review. Bugs are a fact of life in a cottage in a woods, but understand how that can be off putting. Lights are being replaced next week, and we will call pest control to take at look at the ant situation Thank you again.

A very comfortable place to stay. Wonderful view of the water from the upper deck, comfortable beds, quiet and peaceful. The eagle next with, two eagles coming and going were fascinating to watch.
