1866 Schoolhouse - FREE Sandbanks Pass, 15mins to Beach, Family & Dog Friendly

Easy to use and very well appointed. Everything was labelled! We knew where to look for everything. Very clean and so welcoming

Very well maintained Property. A lot of stuff. Don't need anything else, except food.

Lovely week at the school house to celebrate our mom’s 75th birthday. Our two families were very comfortable and our springer spaniel took full advantage of nonstop fetch in the back field. The recommendation from our host to check out Point Petre was very appreciated and we preferred the quiet local beach well above the craziness of sandbanks. Will definitely consider another stay here in the future.

Our stay at Joanne's schoolhouse was very comfortable and convenient. The car charger out front was a great feature, as were the many wireless phone chargers throughout the place. We were very close to the Sandbanks beaches and several small towns to do our shopping and sightseeing. Check-in was simple, and the check-out list was very manageable. Joanne was also very quick to respond to our questions when they arose.

Joanne has thought of everything to make you feel welcome the minute you step inside this charming home. Super clean and well stocked, comfy beds and great communications. We loved our stay in PEC and will definitely return. Thanks so much!

We had a great stay at the schoolhouse! Joanne had provided for everything including personalized welcome treats that were much appreciated! We whole heartedly recommend this beautiful place for any PEC vacations.

A group of friends came together to celebrate a bachelorette. We were coming from TO and Ottawa and Cornwall and PEC holds a special place in the Bride To Be’s heart. The host was kind and communicated above and beyond. The space was beautiful and full of really cool antiques and historical pieces. The kitchen had every gadget and dish and do-dads one could need. The beds were incredibly comfortable and plenty of spare blankets in case it got chilly. The space was only a short drive to Picton and we were able to see all the sights. I highly recommend this host and space. pcomfortable

We had an excellent stay at the Old Schoolhouse. The house was very well stocked with everything we could have wanted in the kitchen. We felt very welcomed into the home, including our furry friend who joined us, and we enjoyed the history of the place. The location encouraged us to explore parts of the County that we had not had the opportunity to see before.

This amazing home was all we wanted and more. We have stayed in many places but never had a warmer and more welcoming environment. Use of so many aspects of home (bikes, beach towels, dog bowls and treats...) was included and encouraged. Communication was timely, friendly, and supportive. We were so grateful to have such a wonderful home-away-from-home for our visit to Picton area. The many personal touches wowed us all. Can't wait to stay here again! Oh, and one more thing...we all commented on how amazing it was to have a host think of locating chargers/charging stations around the house. Just another example of a host who wanted guests to feel relaxed and happy! Thank you so much for sharing this interesting and comfortable space with us.

One of the best equipped rentals we have ever had (LOTS) Very quiet but convenient.

Review of 8 School House Road We have been coming to Prince Edward County for summer holiday for over 20 years. Lodging has included camping (at Smuggler’s Cove) plus various cottages. We’ve greatly enjoyed all our visits,made lifelong friends and been pleased with all our accommodations. This year’s rental of the converted school house was the most enjoyable lodging and in a great location. Joanne has done a superb job of outfitting the house. The decor is “understated comfort” but more importantly it is extremely well stocked with everything one could need - just bring food! There’s plenty of room for most families. One evening we entertained four guests for appetizers and dinner - a wonderful, large, round dining room table was more than adequate. The kitchen is well appointed with enough cookware, dishes, cutlery, etc., to serve a large party. The bedrooms are comfortable with all linens, towels, etc., in abundance. My son and family came down from Toronto for a visit and the grandchildren loved being with us … and being spoiled! The grounds are spacious with a lovely deck, a fenced area for dogs (we brought two!) and additional field area where soccer, football, etc., could be enjoyed. I mentioned location - this place is QUIET! It’s far enough away from busy areas to be quiet and comfortable, but close enough for an easy drive into Milford, Cherry Valley or Picton. Wellington and Bloomfield are a bit further, but still an easy drive. Thank you so much, Joanne,

The host, Joanne, was very attentive in advance of our stay. On arrival, every welcoming touch you could imagine -made us feel well-taken-care-of and at home. Lovely cosy bedrooms, family size dining table, outdoor eating and seating area, quiet property. Even the dogs were left treats and equipment. I wish we could have stayed longer, but we hope to return.
