Relaxing Family Getaway

Our stay was spectacular in every aspect. The house is perfect for large families to enjoy quality time together. The home is equipped with EVERYTHING you can imagine-you can tell a lot of thought has gone into being a 5-star host. We were very comfortable and enjoyed ourselves here immensely. The host was incredibly kind, accessible and thoughtful. A must-go! Do not hesitate. Well worth it, in every aspect. Look no further in this area! We will definitely be back to this gem!

Retired teachers’ weekend getaway

Five of us met at this VRBO property for a long weekend of wine and cider sampling, shopping, touring and walking. The spacious, clean and comfortable house allowed us to each have our own room and to gather easily in the large, well-equipped kitchen, dining room and TV room for a great visit. We were close to many of the attractions in the County , another benefit of the location. It was a very enjoyable weekend away. With thanks to Monica.

Beautiful stay in the country.

My husband and I had a lovely and peaceful stay at Old Milford House celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. We did a lot of gravel biking throughout the countryside, made some amazing pizzas in the gorgeous stone pizza oven and generally relaxed in the pastoral setting of Prince Edward County. We love the food and wine scene there and will definitely be back!

Family Memories

We booked our weekend stay at Old Milford to attend a family wedding. Much to our surprise, the time at the property was just as special. Everyone enjoyed the time together and we took full advantage of all the features (basketball, pool, pizza oven etc.). We made lasting memories with our 3 adult sons and their girlfriends. This property was everything and more. Monica is very responsive and has thought of EVERYTHING. This unique property will not disappoint.

Tranquility and comfort in Prince Edward County

We had such a wonderful time at Milford House. Everything was perfect from start to finish. This is a stunning century+ home with the charm of the past and every modern convenience. The kitchen was a dream to cook in and even had sharp knives!! A first for me in short term rentals. Didnt have to pull out my own knives!! Monica was so helpful, and had really thought of everything. Gorgeous fluffy towels, comfy beds... The garden area is much larger that it looks in the pictures, and it unfolded like a series of beautiful rooms. We loved having the pool. The location is great. Close to all areas of interest in the county, yet tranquil. We will definitely be back!! Thank you Monica

Fabulous stay in PEC!

This property exceeded our expectations. Large farmhouse with everything you need. Clean, spacious and easily accommodates multiple families or friends. Between the authentic pizza oven, the pool and the screened in porch, we had no reason to leave the farmhouse - but of course did! Monica, the property host, was super communicative and when we had a question, very responsive. Would highly recommend this place for a getaway to PEC where you have a country feel but are close to all things to do.

Great County House

Wonderful time at the Old Milford House. Great location and minutes to every where you want to go in the County. House was full of character and perfect in every way, including a refreshing pool in the June heat wave. Didnt use the pizza oven but looked cool and there were instructions and fire wood if needed. Monica was a great host and was quick to reply with the few minor questions we had. Would love to come back !!

Atmospheric Location for Thanksgiving weekend

The house was exactly as portrayed on line. It was an historic country home with all modern conveniences laid on. We loved all the indoor space, the really well planned and spacious kitchen, lots of seating areas, the private screened in back porch, and the kids loved the nearby woods and general play area. Everything worked out really well and we were sad to leave. A relaxing place to chill out.

An idyllic stay at the Old Milford House!

I cannot imagine a more wonderful setting for a weekend to reconnect with family from out-of-town. The Old Milford House was exactly as advertised and even better as the photos don’t show you how lovely the flow of the space is. This was important because it allowed for lots of interesting gathering spots at different times of the day, while also allowing people personal space as needed. The kitchen made meal preparation easy and we also found that the Old Milford House was very conveniently located to wineries, cider houses, breweries, bakeries, grocery stores and farm stands. Interacting with Monica in the lead up to our trip to PEC was seamless as was entering and closing up. A delight all around. Can’t wait to come back!

Full package County experience!

Amazing property with unique amenities perfectly suited to large groups looking for a great experience of County living. Wood-fired pizza oven is a gem! Truly incredible pizzas and a unique unforgettable experience to make them yourself. Pool is great for fun in the sun when you don’t quite have energy or time for a trip to a nearby beach. Location is wonderful as it truly is central- 15 minutes away from 100s of destinations (wineries, beaches, berries, cider, honey, cheese, shops, nature) Great location and could have stayed longer! Loved it!

Old Milford house- a gem!

Our group of 8 adults felt right at home here! Monica is an amazing host - quick responses to questions, helpful suggestions for things to do and see in the area, and just insanely organized! The house was gorgeous- just enough modern to have all the comfortable amenities with some great quirky « antiques » mixed in. The property is stunning, the pool was great for a refreshing dip, the pizza oven was a lot of fun to use and the sun porch was the perfect place for big group dinners protected from the bugs. It was perfectly situated to explore most of the island and only minutes from Picton. We loved our time here and were sad to leave.
