The local area of Wellington in Prince Edward County is well known for the Drake Devonshire, the LakeSide, La Condesa and the Koenji whiskey bar and Kitchen, and the many artist studios and local wineries placed through-out. It has a grocery store, a pharmacy, two bakeries, a liquor store, a bank, great restaurants & amazing ice cream venues, a bank, a Tim Horton's - and a stoplight! The SkyManor on West Lake is a 3 minute drive (20 minute walk) from "downtown" Wellington. Bloomfield is also nearby and has interesting shops, artisans and restaurants. Our property is a waterfront paradise for boaters and water sports enthusiasts. It is a 5 minute walk from the Millenium Trail, a maintained, multi-use rail trail. Prince Edward County is a great cycling destination, too! We often have e-bikes available onsite for a fee.
There is plenty of parking available on-site. The nearby West Lake E-Bike company will rent you e-bikes . Wellington has a summer bus service, and shuttles to the hayloft dance hall/bar. The information is on the Discover Wellington web site. And shuttle information is on the Hayloft Dance Hall web site. Some googling will reveal local wine tour transportation services that can pick you up and drop you off at the SkyManor on West Lake. There is also a local taxi service called u-ride. If we can help provide more information on getting around, just ask!
The SkyView has a Nespresso machine and we'll provide coffee caps. If you need more, just ask. There are also cute coffee shops and a Tim Hortons and restaurants just a couple of minutes by car in Wellington.
For larger groups, you may want to consider also booking one of our other airbnbs SkySuite on West Lake or SkyLoft on West Lake - which are all on the same property. All three can be booked as SkyManor on West Lake, if all are available. Perfect if you need bigger accommodations or if you are planning a family reunion or a special get together with friends.
Saskia and Maarten are long-time airbnb SuperHosts and we understand that guests want their privacy. We have carefully separated the spaces and common areas so that there is a real sense of individual private spaces. Although we live on the property, we highly respect your privacy and communicate normally only through the airbnb app unless we pass each other at some point - and then we will say hi! :-)
