The Montgomery Inn at Ingleside is a great place to visit! It was the home of one of the first Senators of PEI, who was also Lucy Maud Montgomery's grandfather. You can see (and sleep in) the room where Lucy Maud stayed when she visited, and you can see features that were described in the "Anne of Green Gables" series of books. The location is great too: across the street from the Green Gables museum, close to the "Lake of Shining Waters" and a ten minute walk to the beach (you can also drive to the beach). But best of all are the hosts, Paul and Michelle Montgomery and Denise, who tends the grounds. Paul made sure we were comfortable and knew where everything is without being at all intrusive, and Denice directed us to nearby points of interest (eg, Teacup Rock). We had a great time!

This place is perfect for anybody but really great for families! With 11 Adults and 6 Children (Ages 1 to 6), our family fully utilized the 7 bedrooms and 6 and half bathrooms. Paul and his wife have retained the historic charm of Senator Montgomery's home but have completely refurbished with updated higher-end appliances, (including large capacity washer & dryer), ensuites and bedroom furniture. When we got there Saturday July 8, Paul was installing a baby gate at the top of the back staircase..so thoughtful! The kitchen is fully equipped with more than enough cutlery and dishes for a small army. We wanted for nothing - except a few beach toys for the little ones - which we left behind for all to enjoy. We were a ten minute drive from Kensington and 20 mins from Summerside. Also Thunder Cove Beach (Tea Cup Rock), Cabot Beach Park, Cousins Road Beach all were within a ten to twelve minute drive from the house. We were a 40 min drive from Charlottetown...worth the drive even if just for scenery! New Glasgow Lobster Supper was only 20 mins away! Sitting on the large deck out back we could hear the waves! So peaceful and very safe for little ones to play in the large well manicured lawn. Couldn't have picked a better spot for a wonderful family vacation! Thank you Paul!
