The James family took over an aging property in 1986 and began the long journey of making it into what it is today: Kindred Spirits. Located on six acres in the heart of Cavendish and literally next door to Anne of Green Gables, Kindred Spirits is a quiet sanctuary in the middle of Cavendish, PEI.
Welcome to the Family
Kindred Spirits is a true family business. Second generation Innkeepers Dan, Becky and their daughter Evelyn and fur-baby Gilbert (golden retriever) live on the property. You'll most likely see them during your stay.
Dan and Becky, and Dan's parents before them, consider Kindred Spirits staff and guests to be an extension of their family. Dana, the general manager, has been with us for over 8 years! She works with Dan and Becky to ensure that all of our guests and staff are taken care of.
Becky, Dan, Dana and all of the staff at Kindred Spirits welcome you to the Kindred Spirits Family.
“I absolutely love the staff at Kindred Spirits. When we checked out, it felt like we were leaving family behind.”

It is approximately 45 kilometres (~30 minutes driving) from Charlottetown.
Children are very, very welcome.
We are literally next-door neighbours with Green Gables House. It is just a short 3 minute walk from our property.
Is Cavendish safe? It is. PEI is a very safe place in general.
