About this property
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.

The Pettit House so far has been one of my favourite stays in the county. Beautiful restored Home that has thought of every detail to make you comfortable. From excellent coffee to the softest linens I would really recommend this Home.
Arthur and Lisa have assembled a wonderful experience for any group visiting the County. The quality of the house and amenities provided, along with Cathie's attention to our comfort, made for a perfect—albeit too short—stay. We definitely hope to visit again.
Two of us chose to stay in this amazing, spacious, restful home. The chef's kitchen is outstanding. The bedrooms, bathrooms and living room are of five star hotel quality. And the view of the sun setting over the water just put it over the top. I would come back again in an instant.
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!
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.
Spectacular property inside and out. Designer elements in every room. Wonderful for three or four couples or a large family.
kitchen and dining area enjoyed by our husbands. Property manager was superb. Appreciated fresh flowers, wine tasting and park passes Wow!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
This property is a dream. Everything was perfect. Cathie, the property manager, was fantastic as well. We really enjoyed our little getaway and will be returning. Thanks again!
We had an amazing four days at Pettit. The house and property exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend to friends.
Beautiful property and home. We can’t recommend staying here enough. We had an amazing weekend celebrating our Mom’s 60th birthday! We hope to be back!
Pettit House is a beautiful property and very well-equipped. The interior and grounds are spectacular, everything you could want is right there! The location is perfect for trips to the beach, shopping, dining and winery visits although you may find you don’t want to leave the house once you’ve settled in!!!
Everything about this property was excellent. Beautiful inside and outside and great location! The property manager was amazing and it is better than the pics. Great for all ages!
A fantastic experience all around. We were two families of four and there was plenty of space for everyone to eat, sleep and play. Kids loved the large backyard for activities and adults enjoyed the gym, kitchen and living spaces. Very close to Sandbanks and easy to get to many interesting places around Prince Edward County. Exceptional welcome by the co-host. Would go back again and again!
It was even more beautiful in person. The property is gorgeous- beautiful old trees and a glimpse of the water and sunset sky. The host, Cathy, was wonderful! So helpful and responsive. Clean. Organized garbage room- love that! 5 star all the way!
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.
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!!
