Amazing and cozy!

This fun and funky house feels like the kind of house you should stay in if you travel to Prince Edward Island. Comfy beds, a pool, a sauna, cool antiques and beautiful art. What more could you ask for?! Highly recommend. We asked to build a fire one night and they brought over all that we would need. So kind. Have fun!

Silver Heron House

We stayed at Silver Heron House for a week in August 2024. We completely enjoyed our vacation. Silver Heron House is definitely a gem of a property. We felt totally private and yet close to anything we might need. The house and private pool were outstanding. The amenities and presentation were like an upscale hotel. The host and proiperty manager (Carolyn and Cory) took excellent care of us, and although they weren't needed during our week, we felt very secure knowing they were readily available for anything we may have needed. One small detail we personally appreciated was the extensive collection of original local art adorning the walls throughout the house. We would definitely return. Thanks Carolyn and Cynthia!

Fantastic cottage near Cornwall

Stayed for one week with my wife, two friends, and a small dog. Perfect for a group this size as the larger bedroom is upstairs which allows for some separation/privacy. Beautiful patio with a shaded pergola that overlooks the pool, which was also a treat on a hot day. The cottage provided some pool noodles, lots of towels, and there's a "pool roomba" that helps clean it up day to day that's easy to use. Kitchen was pretty well stocked - we rarely needed something they didn't have but as with all rentals if you have a specific thing/need you should ask. As some previous reviews mentioned negatives I thought I'd address some - 1) Bugs/mosquitoes: Yes, at various times of day the lawn has mosquitoes but it's a cottage, I'm not sure what people expect? Once we applied bug spray we had zero issues. 2) TV/Netflix: There is cable TV but you can't log in to netflix/prime. Again, you're renting a cottage so go for a walk, play a board game, or read, BUT if you have kids and "need" this I'd suggest bringing your own iPad (wifi was great). 3) Heat: Someone previously complained it was hot and we arrived on a seriously hot/humid day but were totally fine with the windows all open and fans on. Plus there is a pool! It typically cooled off in evenings, even on hot days. To be clear - none of these were our issues, just things I read in previous reviews that I thought others could benefit from another perspective. We loved the place and will almost certainly rebook! Thank you!

Beautiful spot surrounded by nature

The secluded property offers privacy and quiet so the sights and sounds of nature can be enjoyed all day. The house is comfortable, well equipped, and well cared for. My stay was a perfect getaway to relax, swim, and enjoy nature (including at least ten species of birds). The heated pool was lovely!

PEI

Loved the location and the house and the yard and little beach area on the river/cove. I do think somewhere in the listing it says AC but I don't think there is AC? It was not an issue for us but it is a little confusing. Teenagers/young adults in family loved the property as well. Peaceful and relaxing spot!

We had a wonderful week at the Silver Heron House. We loved the unique style of the house, the size of the property and the privacy it offered. We brought our two dogs and I think they enjoyed the vacation as much as we did. The location is very rural yet close to everything we needed. We plan to go back in the future.

Paradise in PEI

Last year, in the midst of lockdowns and provincial mandates, I found this slice of heaven on VRBO and decided to take a chance. The cottage and location did not disappoint, so it was only natural to book it again. Our stay was from September 3-10. Our flight was delayed slightly, so we didn’t get to the cottage until after 10 that night. As we drove down the red dirt road feeling exhausted from travel we immediately perked up when we were greeted by the warm gentle glow of the cottage welcoming us back. The weather that week was glorious and allowed us to spend the day soaking up the sun and swimming, and each night we enjoyed cozy nights with family. The cottage is nestled on beautiful grounds that overlook the water and make you feel like the world is miles away…but in fact you are only minutes away from shopping, nightlife, amazing seafood restaurants and amazing tourist destinations. I cannot say enough about this lovely cottage, and Carolyn the owner. On the day the Queen died, remembering that my mum is British, she reached out to check on my mum and offer her condolences…wow!!! If you’re looking to discover PEI, I encourage you to book this cottage for your home base and enjoy everything this slice of heaven has to offer…the only regret that you will have is when you have to say goodbye and come back to reality.
