Luxurious and calming
This home is a standout. We were delighted by every detail. The kitchen is incredible and at the heart of the home. Having said that, each room seemed to offer something special. Everyone had their own private space and there were bathrooms enough for all. Expansive windows in the back connected the indoors and outdoors. The location was perfect — close to water, wineries and interesting places. Cathie, the house manager, was a gem. We all fell in love with Cathie:). We had a relaxing, joyful and unforgettable stay. All six of us!

Five-Star Hotel For One Family
It felt like we were staying at a five-star hotel for only one set of guests. The farmhouse is an exquisitely renovated large home with a huge backyard of lush golf-course-like lawns that seem to go on forever. And it's just minutes down the road from Sandbanks park!

Extraordinary property
Is the home that could be your own personal dream home. Every little detail has been managed extremely well. When you get into bed you’ll be shocked at the quality of the sheets. They could be frette! Plugs for devices are everywhere and conveniently located. The kitchen is fabulous and it could be a dream kitchen for many. The kitchen is also very well equipped. For eg, no Nespresso machine. But they do have a top of the line MIEHLE auto coffee maker! The garden is exceptionally beautiful with roughly an acre and a half of land going down towards the water, well treed, lots of open grass and a big fire pit. The many bedrooms are very private. The location of the house is well located between the sandbanks, several good farmers, the city of Picton, and Wellington, all these locations no less than about 15 minutes away. You will want this house!

About the host

Hosted by Arthur Potts and Lisa Martin

Host profile image
Lisa Martin and Arthur Potts are proud owners of The Pettit House. We have kept the house name to honour the early Pettit Family Loyalists, who came to Prince Edward County in the late 1790's to escape the US following the Revolutionary War. We are happy to share the house with others to enjoy its tranquility and charm, while exploring the wonderful offerings in The County.

Why they chose this property

We chose to own in The County because of all the community has to offer - from wineries, to swimming at Sandbanks, cycling, snowshoeing and the many great restaurants. The Pettit House has historic charm that we instantly fell in love with, and we extensively renovated to provide modern amenities for excellent entertaining, while maintaining that charm.

What makes this property unique

A gourmet kitchen, with everything necessary to cook fabulous dinners. A drinks bar with wine and beer fridges and ice maker, and a built in Miele coffee maker for perfect cappuccinos and lattes. A large wood fireplace with comfortable couches, TV and ample space to serve charcuterie boards and refreshments. All centrally located close to Sandbanks Park and the towns of Wellington, Picton and Bloomfield, and their great restaurants as well as wineries and other attractions
