Well positioned in the eastern-south shore region, considered one of the island’s greenest and most beautiful, you’ll enjoy convenient access to our provincial capital, Charlottetown. On a pastoral hillside with commanding, idyllic views, the heritage estate offers unbeatable value with 2008 Grand Opening Specials in the Great House with rates from $80, including full gourmet breakfasts, perhaps the best value on the island.

Upstairs, well appointed rooms overlook the lawn’s century linden trees with distant pastoral vistas of the region’s astounding scenery. Nearby panoramas extend across the sea to Nova Scotia. The Northumberland Strait’s shore region is a magnificent setting for property. The nearby waters are the warmest on the island, the warmest north of the Carolinas. The three story, eight bedroom home was built in 1900. The home is a rare Colonial Queen Anne Victorian Double Dutch Gambrel in an elegant country style that remains essentially original with artisan moldings and woodwork including four hand carved European fireplaces.

Our favored, sheltered location in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and our fortunate warm Gulf Stream creates the warmest ocean water north of the Carolinas along the uncrowded Northumberland Strait beaches. You’ll be comfortable in short sleeves during the day, with a cotton sweater for evening. Autumn is long and warm. The rolling hills covered in brilliant foliage are overwhelming upon the first experience. Golf courses and restaurants are less crowded than in summer, but the weather is often as pleasant. Winter is moderately cold with snow. The Confederation Trail which covers the length of the island and hosts bicyclists and hikers in warmer weather is now turned over to snowmobilers. PEI does winter well. The historic towns and villages turn indoors for music. Enjoy the magical winter landscape from your warm and comfortable dining room enjoying freshly prepared homemade meals. Spring is variable. Layers of clothing ensure your comfort. LOCATION: Enter or paste “162 Newtown Rd, Queens, PE” in your browser window for a Google Map. We are easy to find.

At the Provincial Highway sign “Black Fox Manor B&B,” turn left on Route 211. Black Fox Manor is on your right at the top of the hill. A note from your host: The island province reminds us of the sleepy agricultural Sonoma County, California of half a century ago. The relaxed pace, wholesome communities and rolling green hills, descending to a gentle sea, all contribute to this feeling. Last week, as we walked along a country road to a nearby beach, several young foxes appeared from under the wild rose thickets rising from the road’s edge. The foxes played nonchalantly as we passed. The rose fragrance mixed in the gentle sea breeze. A short way further on the red clay road with views across the water to Nova Scotia, is the island’s oldest lighthouse, the beautiful and austere Point Prim Lighthouse. Later in the week, Billy Martin, a lifelong resident of the island and descendant of the original residents of BLACK FOX MANOR, dropped in for a visit. Billy, now eighty, assured us we would never be sorry we chose to live on this island. His family’s long history provides Billy with many stories of the great kindness and character of the people who call this place, Canada’s smallest, most beautiful island province, home. It is our sincere desire that BLACK FOX MANOR hospitality offered you will create your treasured memories of this truly enchanted place. If we can be of assistance in planning your island experience, please contact me personally.

HONORING LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY’S VIITS TO Black fox manor ”ANNE of green gables, 1908” 2008 CENTENARY BRUNCHES & DINNERS $15 Prix fixe, Summer-Autumn, 2008, BLACK FOX MANOR will host fine dining experiences to celebrate the centenary of Anne of Green Gables. The celebrated book was first published in 1908. BLACK FOX MANOR was an important home in Ms. Montgomery’s time. Heritage archives reference her staying in the home when visiting Sir Andrew MacPhail who lived in nearby Orwell. One hundred years ago, only the most fortunate homes had lawns ornamented with lovely linden trees, imported from Europe, usually planted in pairs. Ms. Montgomery may have enjoyed the young trees from the BLACK FOX MANOR dining room windows. These trees were not much more than a quarter century old at that time. Today, they are majestic, with girths exceeding twenty feet, with full heads towering high above the three storied rooftops. Join us in the home’s original dining room for a delicious re-creation of an early century meal. By reservation, please, 902 659-2988.
