About this property

Beautifully restored historic farmhouse on a private property close to Victoria

Willowshade Farm
The historic Willowshade Farm, also known as Howatt’s Fruit Farm, rests amid its picturesque setting overlooking the mouth of the Tryon River and the Northumberland Strait. Generations of Islanders fondly remember purchasing their berries, apples, vegetables, and preserves, as well as posing for wedding pictures in the sheltered gardens among 100 year old trees. CBC listeners may recall the segment on Mainstreet: “Tales of Willowshade Farm” by Betty Howatt. The Howatts have a long history in the community. The first Howatts settled in Tryon in 1783. The 200 year old farmhouse dates back to the early 1800s. This older home is a grand piece of Island history: Tryon was named and settled by Captain Samuel Holland, British surveyor in 1765, and his own homestead was just up the road from Willowshade Farm, on the Tryon Point Road. Willowshade Farm is also the birthplace of Cornelius Howatt, one of two members of the Island legislature to vote against Confederation in 1873. The farm also has a literary connection, with Canadian author Farley Mowat dropping by in years past for visits with his friends, the Howatts. With its mature trees and water views, Willowshade Farm contains plenty of character and charm.
Willowshade Farm, on the warmer south shore of the Island, is centrally located, only 15 minutes from the bridge, and a mere 5 minutes down the road from the quaint village of Victoria by the Sea, with its historic playhouse, cute shops, and eateries. It’s only 30 minutes from Summerside, and 40 minutes from Charlottetown and Cavendish. Come enjoy the serenity of this south shore property!

Wonderful historic property
The house was exactly to as advertised and super private. A fantastic job of updating and modernizing their historic property. Tim popped in to say hello, introduce himself make sure everything was as expected. Great stay!

Beautiful place!
We stayed at the property for 5 days while we visited PEI from Ontario. The house and surrounding property were absolutely stunning. The views of the Tryon River were beautiful, as we watched the tides went in and out. Tim provided everything that we needed to enjoy our stay, and then some. The property is located on a quiet road with lots of privacy. We can’t wait to stay here again on a return visit!

Beautiful setting
We loved the area and the home. The history of the home was so interesting. We were able to have our family of 8 all together for a bbq one evening. The front deck provides a beautiful setting for morning coffee. We watched an eagle dive into the river and watched the hares chase each other around. It was lovely

Restful, picturesque, everything we wanted
To go from busy lives, to the thoughtful and considerate relaxation of Willowshade Farms, was felt by all the moment we arrived. Everything needed was provided, we could settle in with no issues. Tim Dixon was an amazing and gracious host. The scenery from the porch and every window in the house was like a painting. Quiet, idyllic, and the perfect location for a holiday!!
