When you arrive, make your way through the screened-in porch to the blue front door, where you'll find the smart lock keypad. The screened porch will be unlocked upon your arrival.

Like many PEI cottages, parking here is a little more relaxed and informal.
Guests are welcome to park on the grassy area beside the cottage closest to the shed. This area offers good access to the cottage and helps us preserve the surrounding property. There’s plenty of room for multiple vehicles, and you’ll be just steps from the porch and main entrance.

We've stocked the cottage with many of the essentials, but here are a few things you'll likely want to bring:
Layers for cooler mornings & evenings on the porch
Rain gear for the occasional PEI shower
Sunscreen
Bug spray for evenings outdoors
Personal toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.)
Your favourite coffee or tea
Groceries and favourite snacks
Depending on your arrival time, you may also wish to pick up groceries before heading to the cottage.
