This property is a dream. Everything was perfect. Cathie, the property manager, was fantastic as well. We really enjoyed our little getaway and will be returning. Thanks again!
The Pettit House so far has been one of my favourite stays in the county. Beautiful restored Home that has thought of every detail to make you comfortable. From excellent coffee to the softest linens I would really recommend this Home.
It was even more beautiful in person. The property is gorgeous- beautiful old trees and a glimpse of the water and sunset sky. The host, Cathy, was wonderful! So helpful and responsive. Clean. Organized garbage room- love that! 5 star all the way!
A fantastic experience all around. We were two families of four and there was plenty of space for everyone to eat, sleep and play. Kids loved the large backyard for activities and adults enjoyed the gym, kitchen and living spaces. Very close to Sandbanks and easy to get to many interesting places around Prince Edward County. Exceptional welcome by the co-host. Would go back again and again!
Beautiful property and home. We canât recommend staying here enough. We had an amazing weekend celebrating our Momâs 60th birthday! We hope to be back!
Pettit House is a beautiful property and very well-equipped. The interior and grounds are spectacular, everything you could want is right there! The location is perfect for trips to the beach, shopping, dining and winery visits although you may find you donât want to leave the house once youâve settled in!!!
We had an amazing four days at Pettit. The house and property exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend to friends.
Two of us chose to stay in this amazing, spacious, restful home. The chef's kitchen is outstanding. The bedrooms, bathrooms and living room are of five star hotel quality. And the view of the sun setting over the water just put it over the top. I would come back again in an instant.
Arthur and Lisa have assembled a wonderful experience for any group visiting the County. The quality of the house and amenities provided, along with Cathie's attention to our comfort, made for a perfectâalbeit too shortâstay. We definitely hope to visit again.
Giving thanks to Pettit House for a perfect Thanksgiving weekend!
Went searching for a place to stay for Thanksgiving weekend, the pictures of Pettit House were met with a resounding âYES!!!â from our multigenerational family. We booked without hesitation.
Upon arrival and entering the house, I heard gasps and squeals of delight as everyone took in the stunning surroundings, each room simply spectacular.
Every detail has been thought of, and the property Manager Cathie is an absolute gem.
We had been there but 30 minutes and already were asking for availability next year.
We hope you have the opportunity to experience this warm, cozy and truly luxurious spot.
We had such a wonderful stay at Pettit House. The check-in process was superb, attention to detail in the house was beyond expectations. As soon as we walked in, I could feel my body relax. My husband and I, as well as our grown children and their partners, hung out, enjoyed cooking in the well-appointed gourmet kitchen and played games in the family room by the wood burning fireplace. We would absolutely consider going back. A great time was had by all.
Spectacular property inside and out. Designer elements in every room. Wonderful for three or four couples or a large family.
kitchen and dining area enjoyed by our husbands. Property manager was superb. Appreciated fresh flowers, wine tasting and park passes Wow!!!!
Now I know what it feels like to live like a billionaire. Everything about this property from the large (incredible fridge stove and coffee maker) to the smallest detail (wood for the fire pit, spices for cooking, games and even poker chips (we had brought our own because no property ever has them was exceptional. And we have to heap praise on property manager Cathy and owner Arthurthey promptly responded to every request and looked after our every need. Best booking ever.
This is the second time my family has rented this house. It is a beautiful home on a beautiful property. We use it as a home base in Prince Edward County to visit the beaches, the wineries and shops. It is large open concept main floor with a gourmet kitchen we love to cook in. The bedrooms are beautiful. We will be back again.
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 â 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!
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!
My girlfriends and I were thoroughly impressed with the Pettit House. Cathie (the house manager) went above and beyond to insure our stay in the house and our PEC experience was top notch. She even went so far as to offer recommendations for activities and food in the area. The attention to detail in the house in second to none and I couldn't recommend this cottage more for a group to stay at. Thanks again!!
Wonderful stay as always at Pettit House. Cathie, Lisa and Arthur are so welcoming and make it a true pleasure to visit. Thanks again for a great time!
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.
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.
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
