"Built in 1895 as a summer retreat for a Cincinnati oil tycoon, the sprawling Victorian house features an exterior and massive fireplaces made from the island’s red sandstone. The main building includes 25 guest rooms with period furniture, but no televisions, phones, or radios. Eight rustic three-bedroom cottages, added to the property in 1990, have pine interiors, large seating areas, and glass-fronted propane fireplaces. Outside, the inn is surrounded by Prince Edward Island National Park, revered for its white-sand beaches and historic sites. No one familiar with the charming inn was surprised when Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, chose Dalvay as a stop on their honeymoon tour." - Barbara Peck
