Owl’s Nest Suites
Located in the heart of PEC, this hut is the perfect place to unwind after a long day of wine tasting. Made out of mud and straw, this rental offers you a unique experience as opposed to the normal everyday cottages that are scattered around the area.
If you get tired of staying indoors, the space also comes with an outdoor fireplace, so it’s the perfect place to stay for all s’mores lovers.
Corkscrew Cabin
Adrian and I stayed at Corkscrew Cabin during the winter months, and we can’t wait to go back and enjoy the outdoor views when the sun starts to shine.
This isolated cabin is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway, or a group of friends. With three bedrooms, it can sleep up to 6 guests. The property also comes with an outdoor jacuzzi and stunning lake views that will have you never wanting to return back to your normal life.

This cottage is your go-to place if you are looking for a place to stay with your friends. Sleeping up to 8 people, the space comes with a full kitchen and amazing lakeside views.
In the summer months, you can spend your days splashing about in the lake, thanks to the personal dock that comes with the space. It’s also 2 mins away from the Glenora Ferry, which will take you straight into the heart of PEC for free.
The Nest at Heron House
If you are a boat lover, then this just may be the best rentals in Prince Edward County. Sitting right on the edge of Picton Harbour, the cottage patio overlooks the stunning views of the nearby marina.
The cottage is also located only a short walk from Picton, which features theatres, shopping, restaurants and pubs.
Sandbanker
Looking for a place that’s not only stunning but also conveniently located to just about everything? This may just be the spot for you.
Sandbanker is just a short walk to the public beaches, wineries, restaurants and walking trails. It also has its own hot tub if you don’t feel like leaving the property.
The Little Church in Prince Edward County
If you’re a history buff, then this converted church from the 1800s might just be the perfect place for you. The historic building has been completely transformed into a beautiful living space and sleeps up to 4 guests.
However, it’s important to note that the location is a little out of the way, so you want to make sure that you have a car if you are looking to head into the surrounding wine country areas.
The Cherry Valley: 1 bedroom Cottage
Looking for something a little more humble? This adorable tiny cottage is one of the best rentals in Prince Edward County if you are planning on spending most of your time outdoors.
Sleeping only 2 guests, it’s the perfect romantic getaway. The cabin backs right onto the water, with its own personal dock that is perfect for suntanning or romantic picnics.
Little Yurt on the Hill
If you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, then you might want to look into renting one of the many yurts that surround PEC. This hilltop location sleeps 2 and is located just 5 mins away from Picton.
However, this is only an experience meant for true nature lovers as the glamping yurt does not come with AC or a shower.
Turtle Pod Lodge
This adorable location will have you wanting to lay by the waterside all day. Turtle Pod Lodge sleeps 2 people and is just steps away from Sandbanks beach.
The rental comes with a dock, kayaks, canoes and a fire pit, so you will never get bored. However, if you do want to venture into town, you are close to a variety of shops, restaurants and local breweries.
Of course, there is a lot more to PEC then just the stunning rentals that the area has to offer. If you’re looking to sample some wine, you should also make sure to check out some of the best wineries across the county.
