We had a wonderful stay at the John Burck House. John is a retired military veteran from a family with a proud tradition of military service, and he was exceptionally warm, welcoming, and hospitable. The statue of his grandfather in front of the house, together with the stories and family history behind the property, made our stay feel especially meaningful. The house has wonderful historic character and period charm, while also being very well maintained and comfortable. We truly appreciated John’s hospitality and the opportunity to stay in a home with so much history and family heritage. Highly recommended!

I have stayed in many b and b homes, and this was very nice. The host, John, was very kind and met us even though we got in later than the check in time. The home is in a fun little town on the water. A variety of restaurants, museums, historical village, parks, and beaches very close. The island is small, so we took each section of the island on a different day and felt that we filled an entire week on the island. Each of the rooms was very pretty and beds comfortable. Kitchen was darling. Sitting room was comfy and all four of us could find a spot to read or use our phones. The wifi was great in the house on my service, but phone service was sketchy around the island. Be sure to get fresh produce and especially potatoes to enjoy. We made breakfast at the house most days, but Lady Slipper Cafe was delicious when we went out. Clam Diggers and Windows on the Water were also fabulous. Next door to the Coffee Bean which was delicious, as well. Would definitely love to return, and would stay at the John Burck house again. The books written by the owner were fun to read and gave much history of the home and family.Thanks John and Cassandra

A GREAT place to stay in PEI

The John Burck Historical House was a GREAT place to stay with our family. The house has been beautifully renovated to look how it did in the 1930s. Even the appliances which were new looked like they were from the 1930s. The host was amazing and when we arrived, met us at the house and shared its history with us. He also provided a book with pertinent information and the history of the home. He checked in several times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is located in Montague so is near supermarkets, great restaurants and locations to visit with children. It was about a 45 min drive to Charlottetown or Souris - both places worth visiting. My family and I would recommend staying at the John Burck Historical House on your visit to PEI. Thank you John for a GREAT place to stay !!!

About the host

Hosted by John Burck

Host profile image
I am a 20 year veteran of PPCLI - Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry.I have been retired since 2005 where I progressed in a hobby of Proffessional Scuba Diving Instructor which I reached the rank of Master Instructor with PADI. I have led trips to Mexico, Bahamas, Honduras, the West Coast, Bell Island, Australia, New Caledonia and as well Fiji. I do underwater video and photography. My beautiful wife is a diver as well and we are looking at returning to the south pacific.

Why they chose this property

I grew up here in Montague and Joined the Army in 1985. I have always come homw while my Mom and Dad were still alive. I was so lucky I realized after I left home as my Parents were my best friends. I miss them dearly as family is everything and that is why we restored this home back to 1930.

What makes this property unique

It is the only Craftman style house in our town and it is even more unique as it was stuccoed when it was rebuild after the original house burned to the ground in 1929, and the original owner had it done that was as it was a huge fire in the store next door that caught our house on fire, so she didnt want to take the chance of that happening again.
