Family Day Fun

The Brook was a perfect location for our family to come together for the long weekend! The space was open concept allowing everyone to feel connected, and big enough for us to feel that we had enough space. We chose the house specifically because it had 3 full sofas and king sized beds in each of the 4 bedrooms, which were super comfortable. Ryan was available by text with very quick replies...and Taylor came right over when we wanted an assist on getting the hot tub going. We loved our weekend and are already looking at the calendar to choose a summer date to experience The Brook in warm weather.

Discovering PEC

Ryan and Taylor's property felt just like home. Plenty of room for our five adults and two toddlers. The house felt private and off-the-beaten-path, but also central to everything we wanted to see and do. No more than a 20 minute drive to any destination. The hosts were easily reachable whenever we had any questions, and were very hospitable at their Wild Lot Distillery just up the road. We thoroughly enjoyed the drink offerings and fun, relaxing atmosphere at the farm distillery. We didn't use the sauna or hot tub, but imagine they'd be lovely features in cooler weather. The yard and deck space were great for lounging and the kids playing. Thanks for a wonderful stay and introduction to The County!

Lovely cottage in PEC

Stayed here for 2 nights for a 15 year reunion with 7 friends in late June. The inside of the cottage was rustic but with modern touches. It was very clean, beds were super comfortable, bathrooms and kitchen were updated and clean. There was ample space for us to sit in the living room. Overall we had a really lovely stay. Sadly the outdoors were not quite up to snuff. The hot tub that was advertised was not in service (and we were not advised of this in advance). Not sure if it just needed to be cleaned but the septic tank is situated right beside the outside deck and the smell of feces was so strong that we were unable to sit outside and use the patio which was unfortunate. The cottage is essentially right off of a main road so you can't do much walking around there but we were only about a 7-10 min drive from Picton. Needless to say, we spent most of the days out and about in PEC and then evenings/nights in the cottage which was nice.
