Looking for a vacation rental or summer getaway cottage in Prince Edward CountyWelcome to The Sophia Farmhouse in West Lake – just minutes from Sandbanks Beach. This eclectic restored 1860’s farmhouse sits on a 2.5 acre treed lot, complete with a Big Red Barn.

How best to describe The Sophia Farmhouse?

Think: farmhouse charm meets mid-century design meets cottage life. Professionally-designed with high-quality furnishings and amenities, the property also incorporates rustic elements like locally reclaimed wood, tin ceilings and reclaimed scrap barn metal for doors and fireplaces throughout. Our goal with the Sophia was to create a comfortable place to chill and explore, but one that’s 100% County.

With 2 private bedrooms plus a pull-out queen-sized bed in the main living room, the Sophia can comfortably sleep 6. The generously-sized living and dining area (with gas fireplace) is perfect for relaxing or hanging with friends. On warm summer nights, you’ll want to lounge on the back deck overlooking the extensive property including the Big Red Barn.

Love to cook? The modern farmhouse kitchen is fully equipped, right down to the waffle maker, blender and a SMEG toaster…and there’s a Weber natural gas BBQ on the deck too, for al fresco dining.  

Love to eat more than cook? We’re less than a 5-minute stroll away from one of the County’s trendiest restaurants, Sand and Pearl Raw Bar & Fish Fry. You can also enjoy the 2 restaurants across the street at Isaiah Tubbs…dine lakeside at the Restaurant on the Knoll or grab a snack at the Sandbar Lounge.
