About Fancie’s Prince Edward County (PEC)
Fancie’s PEC was bought in 2021 and underwent extensive interior renovations to convert the rooms within into 4 separate guest suites. Fancie’s PEC has become a licensed STA provider in Prince Edward County and is legally able to provide accommodations in the region. The renovation process took ~ 2 years to complete as there was approximately 7000 square feet of area that needed to be reconstructed in various capacities to update the space and turn it into the eclectic accommodation that it is today. Renovations and property upgrades are still underway but the accommodation is now accepting bookings for the 2023 season for all 4 suites.
Each suite has its own unique theme and different group sizes can be accommodated within. Fancie’s PEC also offers whole-home bookings to parties interested in booking the 7 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom home. The home is occupied by the owner's to ensure that every stay is amazing and the guests are taken care of. They are also planning on offering custom packages for guests later in 2023 and are planning to be open all-year round.
