The Property:
You will have exclusive use of the loft suite, deck and separate driveway. We do live and work here full-time and will be mindful of your privacy. In return, we ask that you not wander around on the rest of our property. :)

Towels and Linens
Kitchen/bedroom linens and bath towels are provided for your convenience. There are beach towels in the bathroom.

Bathroom Supplies
We provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. We also supply one ply, septic safe toilet paper, and we ask that you only use that and not flush any other products down the toilet. There is a hair dryer available for use.

Iron and Ironing Board
Should you require an iron and an ironing board, they is one in the wardrobe in the bedroom.

Kitchen
The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas cook top, mini fridge, microwave, toaster, large toaster oven (big enough for a 12-inch pizza), pots and pans, knives and cooking utensils. We also provide salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Water
We are on a well and septic system. The tap water is safe to drink, but may not be to your taste if you are not used to well water. There are filters on the water to take away the mineral smell, but there are still minerals in the water that cannot be filtered out. Please be mindful of water consumption and try not to over-use the water.

Bell Satellite/Apple TV:
The Bell Satellite receiver has hundreds of channels. The Apple TV has most major streaming apps installed (Crave, Disney+, Apple+. Amazon Prime, Netflix, CBC Gem). We also offer a guest account on each of these streaming services, so you won't need to log into your own account.

Visitors
If you wish to have visitors during your stay, they are more than welcome, as long as they don't spend the night (The County is very strict about occupancy limits). We also ask that they not park on the side of the road, as they may be ticketed or towed by the County. Just let us know, and we can arrange for temporary parking for any visitors.

The Schoolhouse
This one-room schoolhouse was built in 1877. It still has the original blackboards and teacher’s platform. We’ve shared an article (found in the guidebook in the loft), from The County Magazine, that features the owners who did the home conversion back in the 80s. The bell tower on top is a reproduction, but was built to match the original. We are happy to tell you anything you want to know about the schoolhouse, but we unfortunately do not offer tours of the interior.

Schoolhouse Kitchen
We operate a private chef and catering company onsite, the commercial kitchen is in the same building as the loft. We are not in there every day, and we do our best to minimize the noise and cooking aromas. We generally operate between the hours of 9am and 5pm, and try to do our best to do that when guests are out, but it isn't always possible. If you want to know more about what we do you can always check out our business online, schoolhousekitchen.ca should you want to know more. You can also find our food at Gillingham Brewing on Wilson Road and on Main Street in Picton.

Country Air
Depending on the time of year, and the direction the wind is blowing, occasionally you may notice some farm related smells in the air. We are surrounded by farms, so this does happen from time to time. However, this is easily remedied by closing the windows and turning on the AC.

Our Cats
We have cats who live here and barn cats from next door that wander our property. They are very friendly, and you may meet some of them. We ask that you not allow them into the loft space.
