The grounds
A lawn made for kids
Between the cottages and the water there is a wooden play fort with slides and swings, a sandbox full of toy trucks, a basketball net, volleyball, badminton and horseshoes. The shore is child-safe, with no rip currents, and campfire wood is available on site for the fire pits.
In every cottage
Two more cottages, and a house in town
Cottages #4 and #5 are on the same lawn; the bungalow is a short walk from downtown Charlottetown.
Centrally located and close to many sites. Cabin was perfect for three adults for the time we spent there. The sunsets were stunning, everyone we met was friendly, and one couple who had been staying there for many years confirmed this was a great place.
