The Stordy House has been completely renovated in 2020-2021. Everything is NEW! Large rooms, with high ceilings and lots of the original character. This property is one of a kind! Perfect for large family vacations or reunions with friends.
6+1 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms (3 showers, 1 soaker tub), beautiful fully equipped bright kitchen with island and dining room with a huge table for everyone. 2 TV rooms, with additional reading nooks. 3 A/C heat pumps. High chair and portable crib. Care was taken to create rooms that would allow for privacy. If there is a group of noisy children in the bunk bed room, you will hardly hear them in the adjoining bedrooms.
This historic farm house is situated in the middle of 100+ acres of farm land. No neighbours except for the birds (eagles, hawks, partridges, and blue herons are common sites).
Only 15 minutes from the Confederation Bridge, with a general store only 2 kms away. Picturesque Victoria by the Sea is 5 minutes away.
The red sand beaches of the south shore are close by (5 to 15 minutes away). Victoria, Canoe Cove, and Argyle Shore are each beautiful to walk at low tide to search for shells and sea glass. They are also renowned for their warm water and sand bars where children love to play.
The beautiful white sand dune beaches of the North shore are a scenic 35 minute drive. Cavendish National Park, Stanhope and Rustico being popular destinations.
Mountain bikers and hikers will find this an ideal location, as you are 15 minutes from either the Mark Arendz Park at Brookvale, or the Bonshaw trail system. Road cyclists will find excellent routes through the picturesque countryside, with rolling hills and gorgeous ocean views. As avid cyclists ourselves, we would be happy to give you help in planning your adventures. Indoor bike storage is provided as well!

"Our stay at the Stordy House was just what we needed. The house was so peaceful and quiet, we slept so well. The bunk bed room was a major hit with the kids! The kitchen had everything we needed, and all eleven of us were able to fit around the table with room for more people. The obvious care and attention to detail when restoring this house is evident, from the refinished original floors to the use of reclaimed lumber for a bathroom vanity, everything was so beautiful.
Centrally located, we were able to explore the Island, and still feel refreshed with wonderful new memories made!" (Marni Goodman)
