Great family weekend in a fascinating historic cottage

Plenty of space and amenities for a pleasant stay with family or friends. Check out the restoration story before you come, to fully appreciate all the architectural features.

Lots of room for a group.

The Gryphon is a perfect location for a group wanting to explore Prince Edward County. The common areas were spacious and each of the 5 bedrooms had its own bathroom. It was a lovely old home and property.

A wonderful house and host!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Gryphon Cottage in Consecon. The house is stunning and has a lot of space and ample washrooms! The kitchen was well equipped for our big group, which is a rarity. Shannon, the host, was very easy to communicate with and gave lots of great tips about wineries and restaurants in the area when we asked. I would really recommend this for a family / adult group getaway.

STUNNING!

We rented the Gryphon in September for a group of 10. It was a beautiful location, and the house was fabulous. We absolutely loved it. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast on the large covered porch, and our evenings in the comfy living room. Kitchen was very well equipped. Extremely spacious, and beautiful architecture. Shannon was so easy to deal. We all loved the house, and had more than enough room. Thank you Shannon! From the Wilson's and wine tour group!

The Gryphon is awesome...

My family and I had the perfect weekend away at The Gryphon. This place is an absolute gem, the pictures don't do it justice. We were close to all PEC has to offer but we're happy to just chill and enjoy the house and it's amazing grounds. The house itself has been restored beautifully. It's like a Victorian cottage in its prime but with Internet and a theatre with surround sound. There is a ton of room, the bedrooms are very comfortable, all with en suite bathrooms. The kitchen, living and dining rooms (complimented by some incredible art, including some by Shannon herself) are stunning rooms to enjoy while the sun sets and into the evening. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks Shannon for being such a great host!

Very disappointing

The property does not live up to the posted photos. We had been so looking forward to the historic property. There was good communication and an early check in given. But the house was in disrepair and unclean. It had not been cleaned properly for a long time. Stained linens, dirty kitchen sink and refrigerator. Stained and dirty furniture, Dead flies all over the upstairs bedrooms, dust and poop on one toilet seat. Unusable bike, flat tires in a pile of junk under the deck. Torn and dirty deck chairs. We did have a beautiful dahlia bouquet and the beds were made. But the problems persisted, the upstairs electricity did not work and we went to an unbelievable disorganized room under the house to flip the fuse and to get plastic bags for the kitchen garbage. There was not any laundry facilities as advertised. I have many photos of the house problems if VRBO would like them. We did complain and the owner said she would refund the cleaning fee only if we agreed to give a good review. I think this is why there are such good reviews online.

Girls weekend getaway

The property was beautiful and the host was very quick with communication. It was unfortunate that the yoga studio was not avaliable for use and the basement shower had no hot water. However, there was everything needed to make any meals you could think of.

beautiful period cottage. actually sleeps 10 in actual beds, ensuites in every bedroom (is that even a thing?). large, very well equipped, nicely furnished. friendly responsive host. maybe 10 minute drive from north beach, much further to sandbanks (imo, north beach is a nicer beach though, even if sandbanks is way way more famous). a gem for a quiet getaway.

We had the perfect stay at this beautiful property for our first family reunion since Christmas 2019. We were entertained by exploring the house and the grounds, and reading about its' history. Everything needed was available and communication with Shannon was excellent. We are already talking about renting it again during the summer. Thank you Shannon for being so accomodating with us. Truly appreciated.

A taste of Ontario history

It was a real treat to stay in this lovingly and authentically restored Ontario home. It had beautiful gardens and the house had fantastic sight lines and beautiful light flooding in throughout the day. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. The location is great and wonderful staging point to enjoy Prince Edward County.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! The house was much bigger than we anticipated. Close to many outdoor activities and nice that so much recreational gear was provided. Place was clean, organized and instructions upon check in and check out were clear. Owner was a 5 star pleasure to deal with!

Grande maison à Consecon

Très grande maison qui a pu accommoder toute la famille. Bien situé près de Sandbanks et des vignobles, dans le comté de Prince-Édouard. La propriétaire répondait bien à mes questions à mesure. Beaucoup de saleté dans cette maison très mal entretenue: armoires, cuisine, vaisselle, rideaux, fenêtres, sofas, poubelles,: tout serait à nettoyer de fond en comble.

Much needed getaway!

I went there with my friends and family in the month of June and we had a great time. The cottage is at a great location (near to sandbanks and north beach and bunch of wineries and whiskey distillery). There is also a trail very close to it. The whole cottage is tastefully decorated with antique furniture and show pieces. The cottage itself has an incredible history. The rooms were very clean and had nice decorum. Don't forget to speak to the host, she is wonderful lady and has some great recommendations to share. Kids had a great time too. There were lot of board games and video library to explore. All in all, it's a great place to getaway with you friends and family.

Beautifull but in need of a lot of love

We have been in the rental business for 30 years. Nice location. Quiet neighborhood. Spacious old home. Large rooms. Nice and comfy beds. Large kitchen. Lots of room to spread out. Close to bike path. Owner furnishes pass to local state park. Off putting to find that in this 4-5 star rated house the front door knob keeps falling out almost every time. The masterbedroom has a beautifull shower but the shower head is almost all plugged up. Very large, spacious kitchen with a dishwasher that almost falls out because it was fixed not to the side. A kitchen faucet that is hard to shut. Dishes needed to be rewashed because the glasses were very cloudy. Large porch with lots of chair to choose because most of them are woobly because of loose screws. Do not open upstair windows because the hardware has been broken for a long time and they will be difficult to close. Needs a deep clean and uncluttering.
