Luxurious farmhouse on Westlake Shore Sandbanks

Pettit House is a cozy licensed short term accommodation in Prince Edward County, license # ST-2020-0174R2. Built in 1840, it was renovated and expanded, maintaining its farmhouse charm. This peaceful escape is on West Lake and is minutes from Sandbanks Park, the towns of Wellington, Bloomfield and Picton, wineries, restaurants and other activities. It is elegantly furnished for comfort and relaxation, with a chef's kitchen and beverage station for entertaining and gourmet meals.

The Pettit House has been carefully renovated and furnished to enable guests to experience a relaxed vacation with friends and family. There is so much to do in Prince Edward County, but you won't want to leave the grounds where you can collectively prepare gourmet meals and enjoy local food and wines. Sitting on six acres, it boasts a fire pit and water access to West Lake and Sandbanks Park. Stunning modern bathrooms, with soaker tubs and rain head showers, and lush linens make for luxurious relaxation.

The entire property is at your disposal, except the linen closet and basement. Walks around the grounds to the lake are encouraged, and enjoy the fire pit at night under the massive Butternut tree for smore's and marshmallow roastings. The Great Room is an excellent meeting point for guests to interact, over games, tv, music and more. The dining room comfortably seats 8, where guests can enjoy a meal prepared in the gourmet kitchen.

Although we are not on site, we have arrangements with local people to attend to any concerns, provide information, suggestions on places to go, etc. We are readily available by phone and email to help maximize your stay and enjoyment.

Prince Edward County has many excellent restaurants, wineries, cideries and breweries, as well as galleries, antique and quaint shops, all within short driving distances. A book of options to explore is provided to assist with your itinerary.

You will need a car to get around, although many attractions can be accessed by bicycles. Bikes, including electric bikes, can be rented nearby. Taxis and limo services are available to keep you and your guests safe as you experience local wineries and restaurants.

There is a newly renovated on-site Gym for guests to enjoy yoga and exercise, and a level 2 J-1772 Electric Vehicle charger.
We are on a sceptic system, so nothing non-organic can can go down toilets, except toilet paper. All feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, diapers and make-up wipes must be disposed off in waste baskets.
We have neighbours on either side who must be respected by not making any excessive noise after 10 pm or before 8 am.
A burn permit is required for any outside fire. Details are in the House Manual in the Great Room.

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 ‘YES!!!’ 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.

Absolutely stunning property
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.

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.

The Perfect House, the perfect location
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.

Luxurious and calming
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 — 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!

Five-Star Hotel For One Family
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!

Beautiful cottage & experience
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!!

Extraordinary property
Is the home that could be your own personal dream home. Every little detail has been managed extremely well. When you get into bed you’ll be shocked at the quality of the sheets. They could be frette! Plugs for devices are everywhere and conveniently located. The kitchen is fabulous and it could be a dream kitchen for many. The kitchen is also very well equipped. For eg, no Nespresso machine. But they do have a top of the line MIEHLE auto coffee maker! The garden is exceptionally beautiful with roughly an acre and a half of land going down towards the water, well treed, lots of open grass and a big fire pit. The many bedrooms are very private. The location of the house is well located between the sandbanks, several good farmers, the city of Picton, and Wellington, all these locations no less than about 15 minutes away. You will want this house!

Very comfortable family stay.
This is a very comfortable and extremely well equipped property. Communication with Arthur and Lisa was outstanding and the property manager, Cathie, was very helpful and supportive. Our only slight criticism would be a general lack of clothes hanging space in the bedrooms. But this is s really lovely property.

Birder’s paradise
7 of us there to do some birding, relaxing, biking and winery visits. We didn’t have to leave the property for the birds, but Sandbanks is very close as well. Cathie was extremely thorough in her initial walk through but was also prompt and helpful with any follow up questions. Tambo One Stop very close if you forget anything or just want a fresh pie or bread.

Beyond Expectations
I can go on forever about the property, the kitchen, the rooms, the ambience- suffice to say that everything was absolutely wonderful. The pictures don’t lie- it is actually a beautiful place where you feel instantly comfortable and want to return again and again. The entire stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Catherine (house manager) was flawless and was available at a moments notice. Dare I say that it exceeded some of our 5 star hotel stays. Great place. Thanks Lisa and Arthur.

Perfect weekend getaway!
Spent the weekend at Pettit House for a 40th birthday celebration. The house was so much better than we could’ve expected. As soon as we checked in and realized how luxurious the house was, we actually changed around our itinerary for the weekend so we could just spend more time there! Every detail was top of the line. Arthur and Lisa were so easy to deal with - even putting us in touch with a private chef who cooked our group an incredible dinner one night. And the property manager Cathie made us feel very well taken care of. My only regret is not spending another night at Pettit House. But we are already sorting dates for next year
