excellent place highly recommend it.
Excellent property and facilities. Slightly noisy as on the main road but didnt cause any issues at all for the stay. Swimming pool was fabulous. Small suggestion to include swimming towels that would help to not use the main towels. Everything was clean and in great working condition.

Amazing property for an amazing vacation
The Harmonious Fox is quintessential "county time". Charming century-old home that is beautifully updated with all the necessities of modern life. The property is stunning, and the hikes are memorable. Access to the water is easy and we took the kayaks out on the mirror lake every morning. The pool is an absolute luxury and we used it every day. Our hosts were beyond incredible. Highly recommended for a memorable vacation in PEC.

Exceptional Property for Family Getaway
A beautiful property. The description is accurate, and the location is ideal: A quiet spot no more than 15-30 minutes from at least 4 town centers (in case you need supplies or something to do other than enjoy the property's many amenities). This property is ideal for a multi-generation family gathering. Owner is communicative and very helpful. Owner provides detailed instructions on how things work and she answered our many questions that came up before and even at the beginning of our stay.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a retired lawyer and having returned to school I am now working as a forester. I use my skills and love of gardening to grow trees for the property and the extensive flower and vegetable gardens. The orchard that I planted in 2010 is now bearing delicious fruit !

Why they chose this property

We have stunning views , a totally private location and are only a short drive to the beaches at Sandbanks. We have water access to the bay of Quinte with its wealth of wildlife and regularly see osprey, deer, bobcats ,rabbits and owls. The red squirrels that live in our walnut trees provide a constant source of entertainment. Our frog pond is a delightful place for kids to watch the frogs and dragonflies.
