Whether you’re coming to play at Sandbanks’ beaches, explore wineries, historic landmarks and other County attractions, or simply stroll along the tree-lined Main Street of Wellington to discover its charm and take in the fresh lakeside air, Main Street Cottage is the perfect base for your vacation in the County. We are open year-round.

Main Street Cottage is a distinctive 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Cape Cod style century home in the heart of Wellington. Opened in the summer of 2014, this newly renovated and newly furnished 2-story house features all modern amenities blended with plenty of old character for enjoyment in all four seasons. Relax in the casual elegance of the living and dining rooms as you plan and recount your days in the County. The enclosed sun porch as well as a bench in the front yard offer great spaces to greet neighbours and watch the world go by along the charming Main Street.

Ideally situated to take advantage of what the County has to offer, the picturesque village of Wellington with its gorgeous views of Lake Ontario is home to local studios and galleries, restaurants, heritage architecture and museum, a boardwalk, lighthouse, marina, lakefront playground and public library, all within walking distance of Main Street Cottage. The Main Street also houses several local amenities, including a grocery store, hardware store, pharmacy, post office, bank, LCBO, town hall and churches. In addition, many of the County’s wineries are located just a short drive or bike ride away, as are additional shops, galleries and restaurants.

Prince Edward County is a unique island getaway in southeastern Ontario offering something for everyone: beautiful beaches, scenic back roads for cycling and hiking, a rich collection of colonial architecture, and a vibrant culture featuring fine restaurants and other local culinary delights, wineries, galleries as well as music, theatre, food and art festivals.

Main Street Cottage is located 2 hours from Toronto, 3 hours from Ottawa and 4 hours from Montreal.

County Getaway

The cottage is the most perfect accommodation for staying in the heart of Wellington in the middle of beautiful prince edward county. Stayed with 3 friends and no one could get over how lovely of a home it was, and how centrally located we were to the water, great restaurants, coffee shops and bike rentals! The cottage was clean, very well equipped and had everything we needed. I also appreciated how responsive and courteous our host Richard was with all of our questions! Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future as there is much to do and see in the county!

A home away from home

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Main Street Cottage. We stayed with my in laws and my daughters. The property was very well maintained, and it’s exactly as advertised. Located in a very central part of Wellington, there’s a lot to explore on foot, and the location is so close to the beaches that we were all able to get proper rest before each beach day. The cottage comes fully equipped with pots, pans, BBQ, coffee maker and more. It truly was a home away from home. Not to mention the host, Richard, had greeted us and took the time to run us through all of the particulars of the home and was very accommodating! We’ll certainly be back, Chris

Another Great Stay !

Our third stay at the lovely Main Street Cottage. It has everything we needed and we all enjoyed it immensely. The hosts are excellent. All communications were timely and informative. Everything in the home is well marked and clear instructions are readily available where needed. It is cozy and comfortable, and a perfect location from which to visit the County’s many wineries and shops, with several restaurants within a few minutes walk (as is the beach) We definitely hope to stay at the Cottage again !!

L’hôte était très très bien

Nous avons bien apprécié la maison et bien situé. Le seul point négatif est les vérandas et les fenêtres. Pas propres et beaucoup de fils d’araignées Mais l’intérieur de la maison propre. Richard, l’hôte, très apprécié. Oui, je recommanderais la maison et de plus je penses y retourner, l’an prochain.

Delightful

Great location, quaint spot that is beautifully decorated and maintained. Cozy and well set up. Really nice to be so close to everything. It’s easy to walk to cafes, a brewery, groceries, a park and library. Also great in terms of location to the wineries and the lake. We are happy to stay there again!

Wellington Family Getaway

The property is very well maintained and centrally located. Sandbank’s beach passes were greatly appreciated as we spent a day climbing dunes and enjoying the beach with the kids. Many wineries and the Millennium bike path close by. Kids also had a blast at the park across the street while the adults admired the view. Thanks for the wine Richard! You are a good host, accessible and friendly. We loved your home: it’s nicely renovated and had everything we needed.

Beautiful house in a perfect location!

We were a party of 6 adults (50+) and we really enjoyed this house. This was our 14th season in Sandbanks and this is one of the great location we had. The location is very interesting: lot of restaurants, local brewery, small boutiques nearby. It tooks us 2 minutes to go to the grocery store. The house was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was fully stocked. The sound bar was great: we had very nice dinner with great music every night. The owner was easy to contact and super quick to react. Definitely recommend!
