    Description

    My husband, Stella and Puck, the felines and I are pleased to share our beautiful waterfront home in Prince Edward County on the Bay of Quinte, half way between Toronto and Ottawa. This lovely 2 storey home on one acre is in need of some TLC inside and out. Wine country, magnificent beaches, quaint villages, water sports, bird migration banding and bird watching, Lake Ontario, bike trails ... all close by. We have excellent, unlimited internet access. 2 kayaks and a canoe available to enjoy the bay. We also love to travel and look forward to sharing meals, projects and stories with our work away guests.
