We never expected that anniversary getaway would lead to something more, but later that year we had the opportunity to purchase the property and took possession in November 2025.We uprooted our life in PEI to build our home and a new chapter here in the countryside. We’ve always loved being outdoors and spending time in nature, especially as a family. Our kids are now young adults, but many of our favourite memories were made exploring, camping, hiking and simply enjoying time outside together.Those experiences shaped what we wanted Field & Fern to be — a place where people can slow down, unplug, reconnect with nature and make their own memories.Since taking over, we’ve been putting our own touch on Field & Fern while keeping the things we loved most about it — the quiet, the nature, the dark skies and the opportunity to escape the everyday.We love sharing this special place with our guests and are happy to offer recommendations for local restaurants, trails, beaches and other things to explore. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, an outdoor adventure, a bikepacking trip or simply some time away from the everyday, we hope you’ll enjoy Field & Fern as much as we do.— Melinda & StuartA cozy year-round tiny cottage for two that combines the simplicity of glamping with the comfort of a real bed.
