lovely time in PEC

We had a very nice time at the falls cottage. The place is lovely (very tranquil). Very nice layout; everything is well thought out. We did try Canoeing but it really wasnt for us (lots of reeds and its not hard to get lost!) but you dont really need to do this. The place has a lovely view, a private waterfall and no shortage of many other activities. Also want to note that Brenda was very responsive and helpful during and even after our trip.

Great time at River and Falls

My family and I had a great stay at River and Falls. Lovely cottage tucked far enough away from main road for dogs and kids to play. Beautiful property and great location as it’s a short drive to restaurants and cafes. Cottage itself is well maintained with all necessary amenities. Kids enjoyed canoeing, kayaking and swinging on tree swing! Would definitely return. Don’t forget the bug spray!

River & Falls experience

Casual and well equipped cottage is set in an idyllic location. Such a treasure! The screened dining area was a lovely area to spend time with our family playing games as well as dining. Location is an easy drive to Sandbanks.

Great space for relaxing getaway

Property set in beautiful, quiet and secluded space. Very clean and organized. Only challenge was the heat - we happened to be there in a week where there was a heatwave and with no AC in the cabin it was a little bit rough. With that the outdoor shower was absolutely amazing too. Overall it’s a space and experience I would recommend.

Amazing property

Acres of land around a cozy cottage. Our dogs loved running around. The waterfall is better than the river- canoeing or kayaking in the river is great but you’ll have to negotiate some tall reeds. Cellphone service is excellent so no Wi-Fi wasn’t an issue.

Week-end entre amies

L’endroit est chaleureux! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Seul hic, nous pensions faire du paddle board sur l’eau mais peu d’eau et peu attrayant (bcp d’herbe /plantes dans l’eau).

River and falls is simply amazing!

Great place to rent if you wish to get away for the city or simply disconnect. The place is super functional, the best room for us was the outdoor dining room... used it 3 times a day !

About the host

Hosted by RIVER AND FALLS PEC

Host profile image
River and Falls is a cherished family retreat in Prince Edward County, that we have loved for over 45 years. We enjoy sharing River & Falls to like-minded people who value access to the peaceful beauty of this significant and protected Ontario landscape.

As an architect I design bespoke homes and exquisite interiors.
I have created River and Falls as a simple retreat to be comfortable and relaxed with everything you need of the highest quality.

The landscape surrounding the cabin is gently managed to unlock the beauty of a rich and diverse landscape. From the rocky cliff of the waterfall to the wetland of Black River.

Please don't hesitate to contact me at: riverandfalls@bell.net and see more details at: riverandfalls.PEC

Thank you for considering this unique experience.

What makes this property unique

Come to R&F to escape to complete privacy and fully relax.
To listen to the hum of the private waterfall in spring (not in summer) and the birdsong of the wetland river; the rustle of leaves in the breeze above your hammock and the silence of a gentle afternoon kayak paddle.
Sleep under the dark silent starry sky that you see through the skylights while laying on beautiful beds with fine cotton bedlinen.
