Location: Georgetown, Points East, Prince Edward Island, Canada (5 Minutes from 2 World Class 18 Hole Golf Courses)
Accommodations: House with Pavilion, 9 Bedrooms + Den, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 20-24)
This secluded family estate is the perfect vacation spot for an extended family, a group of friends, or for a wedding. With an abundance of charm, character, and treasures, the 11.5 acre property will leave guests with many cherished memories.
The century home contains nine bedrooms (eight with their own sink), a formal living and dining room, a breakfast room, den, kitchen, pantry, and laundry. There is plenty of everything needed for entertaining a large group.
It's just a five-minute drive from Brudenell Resort. The resort includes Brudenell and Dundarave (two 18-hole championship golf courses), a nine hole executive course, as well as horseback riding, canoeing, dining facilities and a spa. Charlottetown is just 40 minutes away.
The 1930's dance pavilion is adjacent to the house, and was built when the property became a hotel (1930-1940). Guests would travel by train, car, and horse to The Highlands - to the dances that were held there. Two room-length balconies are perched over the plank dance floor; and a ping-pong table, basketball net, and snooker table are available for recreation. The Pavilion also has a powder room, kitchen with sink, propane stove, fridge, and a barbecue on the veranda. It is a wonderful place to eat or relax in the many comfortable chairs and couches - enjoying the beautiful weather from the veranda or a warming fire inside.

WASN’T THAT A PARTY!! DANCED IN THE Pavilion, enjoyed the oceanview from the deck! Loved the walk down the lane! Your recommended chef was awesome! What a phenomenal place . . . We will have fond memories of this holiday for years to come. What a wonderful haven. We have had 5 days of fun, laughter, good food, great fellowship in an amazing house & Island. Thank you for sharing this paradise with us. Your “palace” just took our breath away. Everytime I looked I saw something new – awesome décor in this charming piece of history. Of course, the dance hall was my favourite! Oh, if those walls could talk!

We had a FABULOUS time . . . it really was like living in a bubble. …we successfully clammed for 2 days for steamers and chowder. The dogs thought it was fantastic that we all finally found the beautiful joy of DIGGING!! Our two little boys had a great time exploring toys, magazines, books and all other manner of hidden treasures. I my self could spend hours looking through the diverse strata of reading material. We hope to be back again in the summers to come!!

Our wedding day . . at The Highlands was wonderful! As the bride, I got dressed in a beautiful room and them had pictures with my family in the living room. I met my groom on the field at the end of the road and we were married with the sounds of birds & waves and the sites of boats. We had pictures on the beach, our guests enjoyed appetizers and drinks on the veranda of the Pavilion. After a buffet dinner in the Pavilion, musicians joined us. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better location. 48 guests were all seated in the Pavilion for dinner.

Appreciated the views, the trail and this historic home. If only we could travel back in time to enjoy a dance at The Highlands Pavilion! We loved the proximity to great beaches. . . . Great place for a family reunion, the grandchildren loved it, especially the Pavilion, the bikes were used on the trail – a beautiful setting.

We’ve had an excellent family vacation at the Highlands! The children loved the beach, the seashore, the sea stars, kayaking, pony rides at Brudenell Stables, baseball on the lawn, playing pool at the Pavilion, and everything they did! The rest of the clan joined the generations who loved the pavilion for the after-hours entertainment, poker, fires, music, dancing, pool, and so on . . .

Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us. Our wedding was more perfect than could ever be imagined… The house, the pavilion, the large lawn – all helped to make for a wonderful day. We are pleased to have been able to added a little piece of History to The Highlands. With Love Sara & Andrew
