You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Modern 4BR Harbourfront Century Home

The ideal home base for your retreat to PEC. An authentic country home with a cozy charm, but lovingly restored and renovated with just the right mix of stylish touches. Spacious both inside and out, ideal for families, group of friends, or company retreats - large enough that everyone has a seat at the dinner table ; ). A literal stone's throw from the Picton Harbour, steps from the main strip, and a short jaunt to all of the wonderful wineries, beaches and beauty that the County has to offer.

The space

Legitimately one of the first houses ever in Picton, built in 1840 but looking incredibly good for her age. This two-storey brick residence has been updated from top to bottom to offer a more contemporary take on an historic heritage home.

Art-inspired design in each and every room, featuring an array of local artists and pieces from around the world, everything from colourful cityscapes to clever Canadiana.

Rooms of all shapes and sizes to sleep 8 comfortably - the primary with ensuite, the second bedroom with fireplace, the bunkroom (*main bedrooms on 2nd floor) and the sunroom. Plus 3 full bathrooms, with rain shower faucets and a classic, old school deep soak tub.

- The place is beyond bright, with big windows and high ceilings.
- An entirely modern (and roomy!) kitchen. All new, stainless steel appliances.
- Kitchen's adjacent to the living room, with lots of comfortable seating.
- Along with a Smart TV, for rainy day Netflixing!
- An incredibly long dining room table, to host meals fresh from the BBQ.
- Also an interesting/unexpected spiral staircase, connecting dining and bedroom.
- Carefully curated furniture, the right balance of sleek and snug.
- A large, spacious fenced-in private backyard with a little over half an acre of greenspace.
- Two big sun-filled decks, perfect for quiet morning coffees or family dinners.
- Three gas fireplaces.
- And more than enough cozy spots to dive into a good book.

Let us know if you have any questions at all about your upcoming stay.

We're also happy to share that a portion of rental proceeds will go to support Neeko's Animal Welfare Foundation :)

It's worth noting that our home is not a setting for large events, loud music, or disruptive parties. We expect guests to be respectful of our neighbours at all times, and in accordance with local by-laws keep outside noise to a minimum, and quiet hours after 11pm. Please treat both our home and our neighbourhood as you would your own.

A friendly head’s up, since this is a vacation rental and the house sometimes sits vacant, there are two exterior surveillance cameras, one at the front and one at the back of the house that face the road, for security purposes only. They turn ON only when they detect motion.

We enjoyed our week at The Dans. Place was clean and well-appointed and the combination of rustic century home with modern updates was really charming. All appliances worked well, linens were clean and the place had lots of room to entertain. Check in and check out was super smooth and the hosts were responsive if we had any questions. It was nice being a 5 minute walk from Main St and all wineries and attractions are a short drive. Would definitely recommend.

Great for groups

We had a lovely four night stay while exploring the County. Ample room for two couples and two kids (and a dog) and more would have fit easily. Conveniently close to Picton shops and an ample back yard was handy for the dog. The large kitchen and dining room were great for preparing a few meals and eating as a group. Some things could do with a bit of a refresh (e.g. broken blinds, old couch, shower curtain) and noise is a consideration as it is on a busy road, but it did not dampen our stay and we would easily recommend this place. Great communication from the host as well!

PEC wedding

This was the perfect place for my family and in-laws to share while in the county for our nephew/grandson’s wedding. We were right in the middle (approx 15 min) to Bloomfield for the rehearsal dinner and took the same time to the wedding venue in Milton—also, walking distance to restaurants, stores, and of course Slickers for ice cream. Lots of space in the house to have time to ourselves, yet also gather as a family to play games and spend time together. Having three bathrooms with showers was incredibly helpful when we all got ready for the wedding! Would stay again and recommend to friends.

Some TLC needed

The house and property could certainly use some TLC. Cleanliness inside (floors, walls, etc) and outside (furniture) was lacking. The coffee maker has a "clean" message displayed. Many light bulbs were burnt out/not working. One of the upstairs sinks would not drain and could not be used at all. Two of the 3 queen beds were comfortable but the third was not. We certainly enjoyed Picton and the surrounding towns. Thanks

Great house right near the centre of Picton! There's a nice big backyard and deck which is perfect for outdoor dining and hanging out. Inside the house is also great - a nice big kitchen, multiple bedrooms and neat decor. I would recommend for a group of friends or family getting together.

Everything to recommend

I've been staying in the county at least once a year for the past 15 years and this place is definitely one of my favorites. It is such a beautiful place and so tastefully decorated. It is also spotless. Communication with the owners was always very prompt and very helpful. And the location was fantastic - very short walk to main street in Picton. While we didn't get to use the decks and backyard (it was November), they looked great too. Oh, and did I mention, there's 3 bathrooms? I'd book here again without hesitation.

Short wedding trip to PEC

This was a great house and location! We were in town for a wedding - a family of four plus my older parents. Dan was great and very flexible. House had plenty of bedrooms and beds. Three bathrooms were also great since six people had to get ready:) Each room has its own A/C unit that was remote control managed. Location was also great, a very short walk into theain street of town (just a bit steep one way). Would strongly recommend and would do it again in a heart beat.

A wonderful house for families

Lots of room inside and outside for us, our three grown children and two small dogs. A historic home fully renovated with a modern kitchen and bathrooms, with many historic details combined with funky art on the walls. We mostly just slept here as we were home in the County for the holidays, but the beds were comfortable with nice linens and duvets and the central location met our needs perfectly! The lighting in some rooms was the only detractor as the weather outside was grey and the antique-like lightbulbs did not brighten the inside sufficiently for my tastes. A wonderful home. We will definitely book again!

Well Beyond The Comfort Inn

It was an absolute pleasure staying at 56 Bridge St. This is such a well appointed abode. Very clean and completely ready for anyone to just walk in, unpack and relax. We were negligent in reading the entire Welcome Guide that provided checklist to follow at Check Out time. We apologize for not putting out the garbage or recycling to the storage shed. If you are expecting the Ritz, you should move on. This is simply a very comfortable everyday home.

Great Location

The Dans is ideally located if you’re wine touring, brew hopping, or spending your day checking out Picton, you’re just a very short walk from downtown. The pictures are an accurate presentation of the hip vibe of the home, and the space easily accommodates 6 adults with pretty private sleeping areas. However, the space is a little tight for anymore than 4 to spend social time together, so you definitely need to get out and explore. 2 of the 3 showers really don’t work, so mornings are a bit of a challenge. The outdoor space is probably great in the summer, but in the shoulder season we struggled with heat and windows that show their age.
