Your own 'Peace of Space' at The Steeple Cottage. Private Couples Escape!

PEI is the land of stories and now we too have our own PEI stories and the Steeple Cottage plays a large role in those stories (and memories).

When we first entered the Steeple Cottage the sun was shining in through the old refurbished church windows, illuminating the insides with natural light. We looked at each other, knowing we had made the right choice for our vacation. It was beautiful; one might even say it was literally breath taking. As we spent the next week there we came to appreciate even more the unique features of the cottage whether it was the view from the bell tower, the unique king size bed in what we came to call affectionately the “cave” with its beautiful painted murals, the outside “chubb tub” and shower, or the great indoor shower. We took great delight in all its unique features whether it was sipping that first morning coffee while looking out through those magnificent old church windows across the Northumberland Strait as the sun slowly lit up the seascape, catching the occasional shooting star as we sat upon the bell tower gazing dreamily up at the night sky, watching the local resident bald eagle glide upon the air currents above, or walking at low tide digging for claims (mostly unsuccessfully) but mostly enjoying the walking and talking with no one around in a remarkably beautiful and secluded setting. One of the best surprises was the outdoor tub. I confess we both found it shall we say somewhat odd (really – a tub outside) but after my first “bath” laying there in the warm water as the sun shone down upon me, well I was hooked and so was my partner. We both loved simply laying in that tub in the afternoon with the light shining down upon us before the sun disappeared behind the trees. While there were kayaks and bikes to be used, we opted for a more quiet and uneventful stay. We simply enjoyed the time to unwind in the seclusion that the Steeple Cottage offered. In a world of franticness it offered us an island of tranquility and we made sure we made the best use of our time there to unwind. It was a time of rest, rejuvenation and provided the perfect opportunity for us to step outside our busy lives and reconnect.

Mel and Val were the perfect hosts. They were always there to answer our questions, or occasionally would check in with us to see if there was anything we needed while remaining respectful of our space and time, never intruding.

I hope we can return there again next year.

This was our first trip in many years. We were not disappointed. The cottage is amazing and provides everything you need for a wonderful experience. The property is gorgeous and the owners very friendly and helpful-Mel and Val are amazing! Mel and Val have truly provided a once in a lifetime experience; they have not forgotten a thing! We highly recommend a vacation to this island paradise! The outside shower and bathtub was an amazing experience. The serenity, solitude and privacy were of utmost importance to us and the Steeple delivered! Well Done!

After reading all the reviews there really isn't much we can add. They simply state the truth about this place and the hosts. If you need a break from the rat race at home or some time to reconnect with the one you love, this truly is the place that can make that happen. Thank you Melody and Val for sharing your little piece of paradise.

We came to Prince Edward Island for our 40th wedding anniversary and we could not have found a more romantic place to stay! The steeple cottage was amazing with so many unbelievable details. We felt like we stepped out of the real world into a fairytale one. We loved watching the amazing sunsets and having campfires after the sun went down. We would walk the shoreline and did some kayaking and the red cliffs come alive with brilliant color at sunset. We would sit on the rooftop deck and the screened steeple room for all of our meals and just to relax and have a drink and look at the amazing view. We took time to explore the island and to go play on the wonderful beaches but we would always look forward to the time when we could be "home". We have done a lot of traveling and staying in VRBOs and B and Bs and there really has never been another place like this one! Thanks Mel and Val for being such friendly and caring hosts and for sharing this wonderful place with others. What a gift you are giving to us! We had a hard time leaving and are already dreaming of when we could come back. Mark and Sandy Hudson Wisconsin USA

We recently had the amazing privilege of spending a week at Steeple Cottage...and of meeting the wonderful and unbelievably creative hosts Melody and Val. It is a very beautiful and peaceful spot...many hours can be spent just enjoying the views and the silence except for the birds! Hearing how this beautiful property came to be is a definite must! It is totally comfortable...nothing has been forgotten to create a romantic ambience and comfort including the fireplace for a rainy day/night.There are many things to do (kayaking, biking),enjoying the private beach,clamming,...and nothing is too much trouble for Mel and Val to ensure your comfort! A place that will live in your heart and memory for a long time!
