Greatvlittle spot near Picton! Lots of space, very clean with owners that were easily reachable and kept communication open during the weekend. Very comfortable, safe and quiet.
We loved staying at Watson House. This was the perfect location for our family to gather. Everything was beautiful! So many nice touches. We made wonderful memories.
My spouse, my mother and my adult daughter thoroughly enjoyed this house and the location. We cooked in most meals due to food allergies and found the kitchen well stocked with high end appliances and utensils. We toured a fre wineries, shopped in Picton and walked the beaches and dunes. Fantastic holiday get away!
The house is a treat with multiple corners around the house for everyone to enjoy (from kids to adults). The place is tastefully decorated and has all the modern comforts with the old world charm. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend for a large family or friends vacation..
A gem of a house and location for my wife’s birthday celebration! Plenty of room for 5 adults and two dogs. Everything that you would need to host a family get together! Close to wine tastings in the County!
We had an electric car and there were no station to recharge the battery, and even near Picton no commodity to recharge ,this is not very practical ,since we had to drive to Belleville witch is a 40 min drive .Even on Route 401 services not very good. Oder wise the house is really nice very well situated ,And the reply from the owner is fast clear
Beautiful house and all amenities you need.
Host responds quickly
Prices have doubled since last year, so expectations are high. Not a fan of being instructed to clean when we are being charged a cleaning fee. Especially when we did not find it sparkling when we came in, floors were dirty in kitchen and stove had leftover cheese melted inside , minor, but all about value . Other than that, a great find.
