We loved this cottage on the "quieter" side of the island.Easy to travel anywhere on the island from Bayside but also lovely to come back to the out of the way cottage each day. Loved being right on the water!Clean, cute, had everything we needed and the host went out of her way to help us out. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you to our host who was very attentive to all our needs. Her cozy little river-side cottage is a real gem. Close enough to all the tourist areas yet far enough away to escape into nature and enjoy the beauty and quiet of beautiful PEI.

A fantastic cottage that ticked all the boxes for a vibe-y old school road trip. We loved the location on the bay, the cottage activities available (kids loved the badminton!), sitting on the deck drinking tea to the sunset, and making breakfasts with local bread and preserves. We can’t wait to be back again!

Little cottage for small family

This was the perfect space for my husband, 1 year old daughter and dog to come and stay out while we toured the island. The fact the cottage was directly on water was really nice for morning walks with coffee. We would love to return!

The "Small Cottage" was perfect in so many ways! In a lovely remote setting with beautiful trees, manicured lawn and overlooking the water. It was too bad we couldn't have a campfire but totally understandable with the fire ban. Highly recommend !

My husband and I were looking for a place to relax and unwind. This little cottage was perfect for us. Close to the water with a breeze that helped cool it down at night.With only one other cottage on the large property we had plenty of privacy. Our guests enjoyed their stay as well. Our host was very friendly and quick to respond.

Charming cottage along an interesting river

We both loved our 5-day stay here. The quaint cabin is private, down a long driveway to the Grand River with only 1 other cottage nearby. We so enjoyed our morning coffee, bird listening, and views of oyster fishing boats pulling up their catches. The log cabin interior is charming, the beds great, and Donna, the host, hospitable and prompt. We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation, exploring all the coastal drives of Beautiful PEI.
