Site of L.M. Montgomery's Cavendish Home — Attraction in Cavendish

Positively, you get to see the hole in the ground where she lived with the stone basement frame and stone steps, and you can see a well. They have a few medium sized boards to read along the "path". The scenery is ok. They have a gift shop too with a good number of Anne and PEI items. If you are a devout worshipper of Lucy Maud Montgomery, then you should make the pilgrimage.

Negatively, it costs money to get very little. At the gift shop, the "tour girl" rambled off mechanically behind the gift shop counter a very short explanation of the grounds. They had no washrooms on site either! No people that were maintaining the grounds reached out to make the tiny area that you go to more interesting. Wow, ridiculous! We wouldn't have paid for that if we hadn't purchased it in a bundle with other activities.

If you wander in from the Anne of Green Gables' Haunted forest path, you will see no signs warning that you have entered a new site that you need to pay for. Most people that don't know the area assume that it is a extension of the main Anne of Green Gables site that they have already paid for. You do have to cross a road to get there though. If you walk 2 steps out of L. M. Montgomery's gift shop and swing your head to the right turning slightly, then you will see the only place that indicates that you need to pay to get in. Also, if you walk straight ahead out of the gift shop, then you might not see any indication of your need to pay, and be walking through a field that looks like nothing, but you may have to pay for (like one Google reviewer said). They don't say anything in the bookstore either that you need to pay to look around...

This place is not just a bunch of rocks in a place that used to house the home. It has individuals who are filled with knowledge and can answer so many questions about the author and the three founding families of P.E.I. I was able to map out with them, a course of places to visit that related to the author and I am immensely grateful to these women that I found this place first. The place is not connected to any other spots, so yes, you need to pay, as it is private grounds, maintained by the Mac Neill family. Buy the books here (they're cheaper, and they don't benefit the federal government).walk the grounds and see what the author saw when she lived there, loved the natural surroundings of her homestead and breathe the same air she breathed. The 100 old apple tree is worth the $6 entrance fee all on its own. My teenaged kids loved it too. My daughter bought the hardcover Anne of Green Gables and says it is the best of all the "Anne" spots in Cavendish and the...

Had an excellent visit here, while it's small, it is part of the Anne of Green Gables journey, we walked over through the "haunted wood" path from Green Gables, and it was well worth it, great round trip experience! glad it was recommended to us! Even though there isn't much to "see", there is a LOT of scope for the imagination! This is history, folks! Don't have to see it to believe it! :-) The paths and signage give a quiet, peaceful view into the author's perspective and experience. We went to several souvenir shops in the area, but this one on site had a great representation of all the knick-nacks, but even better book selections (and all slightly cheaper!!) than the other gift shops in the area. Glad I shopped here! The employee at the shop was a wealth of information and wonderful at hospitality with each guest. He was a distant relative of L.M. Montgomery as well, a...
