Perfect Family Get-Together

Sisters’ weekend in PEC was made perfect by staying in this beautiful old home. The home is spotless, everything you need is generously supplied, the beds are comfortable and made up with lovely linens, pillows and cushions. Every room is tastefully decorated and clutter free. Loved it and will come back if on a group visit to Picton and area.

Great weekend

Our family enjoyed a wonderful weekend at The White Rabbit in Picton. The location is very central to many wineries and breweries and walkable to grocery and liquor stores. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and playing yard games in the back yard. The house had good seating, bedrooms and space for our group of nine adults. The house was very neat and clean with lots of parking. We have stayed three times at The White Rabbit and once again it helped us to celebrate as a family and create many good memories.

A wonderful family gathering space!

Our daughter was being married at the Waupoos Winery last weekend. We had lots of UK family visitors and rented a number of houses in the area. White Rabbit was a splendid choice for us. Prior to our arrival Julie, our host, helped me to secure a florist, a caterer and transportation locally. This was a relief and a huge success. The wedding was wonderful but staying at White Rabbit was spectacular! Thank you so much for a terrific weekend.

Chasing Rabbits

We had a great stay at the White Rabbit! The home is absolutely lovely and meticulously kept. Julie and Brian are wonderful hosts. Everything you need is provided - from winery tasting coupons and maps, to a pass for Sandbanks, and every kitchen appliance and utensil you could ever need. Comfortable beds, fluffy towels, sugar for my coffee, a spot for our bikes, games, books, bocce ball, you name it. It's an easy walk to town and the grocery store and LCBO are even closer. We particularly liked the Agrarian Market tucked behind the LCBO - fantastic coffee, scones, bread, meats, veggies - all the bounty of the County. A perfect spot to adventure from, and a perfect spot to come home to relax in.

Rabbit house

The house was perfect for seven friends to share, good parking for cars, lots of rooms to allow for privacy, comfortable beds, great bathrooms, well supplied kitchen to make meals, and handy to walk into town as well as to make trips to other destinations in the county. Also enjoyed the property’s lawn area to gather around as well as have a barbecue. The only negative is the car noise at the house being on Main street where car traffic is constant throughout the day. Note: the main floor bedroom’s window can not be opened but it is comfortable.

Thanksgiving weekend

Our family enjoyed a memorable weekend in The White Rabbit century home this past weekend. Check in was a breeze, and the house was immaculately clean and tidy. Julie left us winery and brewery coupons as well as a bottle of wine and chocolates! Great communication beforehand, and the beds and living areas were comfortable and well thought out. We enjoyed the front porch, ample parking space, backyard with Adirondack chairs and the side patio with the barbecue. We cooked a turkey dinner and ate in the large dining room, and enjoyed playing board games and card games at the coffee table in the living room. The White Rabbit is within walking distance to grocery, LCBO, and all the shops and restaurants of Picton. Thank you for an enjoyable and fun family weekend in Prince Edward County!

Canada Day Weekend

We rented this house as part of a family trip over the long weekend. The kitchen was very well stocked; the rooms were large and comfortable. It is close to everything in Picton and having access to Sandbanks was very helpful! The decor was lovely and thoughtful and it felt like being at a home away from home. The hosts were excellent communicators and very accommodating.
