The space
This is a pet and child friendly oasis with trails, gardens, fields, and barn animals.

The house was restored to capture its 205 year history, but has amenities like AC/heat, microwave, dishwasher and washer and dryer.

We are 15 mins to Picton, 5 mins to Three Dog winery, 12 mins to a Parson's Brewery, 10 mins to the water and 45 mins to Sandbanks.

There are 4 @ 3 piece bathrooms

Feel good about booking: 80% of your stay goes back into the preservation of this historic house and property, 10% goes toward the care of the resident farm animals and about 10% goes towards helping families in the Quinte area. Your head on the pillow is putting food in their tummies :)

Speaking of tummies, if you want to arrive and have a stocked fridge and bar and/or some of the local flavours ready for you, let us know and we can do a shop for you.

In addition, we are affiliated with a food and history tour in Picton called County Epicurious. Come on a food tour with us!

Guest access
The property is 118 acres, please explore the trails with care. We do have wildlife.

If you are here in the spring/summer, please do not go into the large fields as they are farmed and we don’t want to crush the crop! (Can’t miss them)

Other things to note
Are you an animal lover? Yes? Great! We have friendly free range chickens, ducks, turkeys and goats who wander the gardens and sunbathe on the lawn chairs.

We are on well, cistern and septic. This means that we need to be careful of the water consumption so you don’t run out. (Don’t worry, a fill-up can be done same day) Nothing but toilet paper down the toilet please.

In the summer, the mosquitoes can be hungry, bring long sleeves and pants to enjoy the fire pit at night

Also bring waterproof footwear if the forecast calls for rain, as the trails get muddy.

This is a strictly no-smoking listing. Please do not smoke inside any of the buildings. If you do smoke outside, please dispose of butts.

Neighbourhood highlights

This is a quiet area of the county with the only noise being crickets and the distant howl of coyotes. You will likely see wild turkeys, deer and enjoy the fireflies on those hot summer nights.

Demorestville is a small village in Prince Edward County. It was named in 1783 after explorer, Guilliame Demorest. In the 19th Century, Demorestville became known as "Sodom" or as the twin towns of "Sodom and Gommorah". This name was earned due to its reputation as a sin city of ill-repute. with many taverns, brothels, and hotels servicing both the smugglers and the thriving lumber industry. Much like the Biblical story, "Sodom" was all but destroyed in a massive fire near the turn of the twentieth century, and with the mills gone and local businesses decimated, few chose to remain and the town was never rebuilt. Since then it has overgrown with forest and only a tiny population of about 100 people remains in this tiny village that was once one of Canada's largest metropolises.
