A great place to unwind

This is an exceptional property - the perfect place to unwind and relax amidst some beautiful countryside. All of the rooms are so well and thoughtfully appointed with exceptional decor and the kitchen has all we needed to cook some enjoyable meals, with a supermarket not far away in Kensington. Sitting on the veranda, we watched a hummingbird drinking just a yard away and we watched the sun rising across the fields and woods, with the sea only a few minutes drive away. Janet is a great host and it was also a pleasure to meet Dorothy and chat and laugh in their well-maintained gardens, surrounded by nothing but countryside and peace. Visiting PEI on our Eastern Canada tour was a good decision and staying here helped to make our visit even more enjoyable - highly recommended!

Lovely home in PEI countryside

We recently spent a weekend at the place for a family event and found it just as stated, spotless, beautiful and a welcoming hostess who was easily accessible by text. The bed was comfortable, with high quality linens and towels and beautiful quilts

PEI Wedding

We were attending a wedding in New London PEI and needed a pet friendly accommodation for 5 people. This property was in a great location close to the wedding venue and several great restaurants! The house was clean and well appointed and was as described. We would definitely rent again! Thanks to our host for a lovely accommodation!

Superbe

Nous avons adoré la maison et les environs. L'hôte est super gentille. Le seul point négatif était sur la propreté. Il y avait beaucoup de poils d'animaux et de la poussière dans les coins, le dessous de la table de cuisine, les tapis. Les sofas étaient sales et les matelas des sofas-lits nos utilisables. Il y avait de fortes odeurs de chien mouillé sur les sofas et les fauteuils. Je comprends très bien que la maison est pet-friendly, mais il faut savoir que ça se perçoit dans la maison.

Like coming home, if home was a cottage in paradise

I don’t know how else to say it: arriving at Janet’s beautiful cottage felt like coming home. My family arrived later than we planned, but Janet stayed up late to meet us. The cottage was warmly lit and beautifully furnished. Everyone fell fast asleep in their fresh and cozy beds. In the morning, my husband drove 15 minutes into Kensington to Willow Bakery & Cafe for delicious baked goods and coffee. All the necessary amenities are within a few minutes’ drive, including grocery, take-out, and gas. The location is great! We spent most of our stay exploring the various LM Montgomery heritage sites. That said, so many other outings are accessible from this lovely home! We saw three lighthouses and two beaches, including Cousins Shore Beach. We spent a day at Covehead Light and the adjoining beach, located in a national park. Because of all the beach days, I was glad to have access to a washer and dryer. A fully equipped kitchen meant that my family could make light meals in the home. A large full bathroom was more than enough for my family’s purposes. The home also had board games, books, and a pair of terrific binoculars that we used on the second floor balcony to enjoy the view. About the view: it is spectacular! The sunsets are colorful, the rolling countryside is so romantic, the moody ocean spreads along the horizon, and the hummingbirds simply adore the front porch. Some days it was hard to leave the house because it was peaceful and beautiful! Can’t wait to return!

Great Location-everything you need

We had a wonderful stay in this property. Way out in the country away from crowds which we enjoy. Close enough to Kensington, Summerside, Cavendish and Charlottetown. Slept well and everything that you would find at home was provided by Janet. Dog friendly. Thank you Janet.

Book it!

A-MA-ZING stay! You will find everything you need and be able to relax after a great day at PEI. The owner house is next to this one, but you won't even know it. Janet was great and she even allow us to send her some stuff we will need during our stay. Our dog is anxious and felt like home there! You won't regret to book it.. actually, you will regret to miss this opportunity!

Quintessential PEI Cottage

I've wanted to come to PEI since I was a little girl and I adored this cabin! It is so beautiful and very in theme with the nature of this beautiful island place! The linens, colors, art, dishes, coziness is all top notch. We loved having this refuge to return home to after exploring. The kitchen and bathroom were well appointed and we felt very at home. The views and gardens are beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer! Janet was a wonderful host and very welcoming. My one piece of advice for travelers is to coordinate arrival time and check in instructions before you get to PEI (signal isn't always the best on all the roads on island). Will absolutely be back to PEI and hope to stay here again!

Great location to explore PEI's North shore and walks

My wife and I stayed at Janet’s Irishtown cottage for two weeks in June 2023 and have been coming to this area for many years. Janet was a welcoming host, living next door but one would not know it. She kept the humming bird feeders on our veranda filled so we might enjoy their aerial antics. The cottage is off the main road and is quiet and peaceful with only distant road noise. The house is of recent construction and all the facilities work well. We liked the full-length bath and the three bedrooms that allowed family to visit. Cell phone coverage in the area is not great but useable. Janet is a keen gardener and there are views over her gardens to the large grass field to the north and the sea. The site exposure to winds keeps the bugs at bay. We hope to be back again.
