The James family took over an aging property in 1986 and began the long journey of making it into what it is today.

In 2024 Michael and Stacy Hoffarth along with Adam and Marsha Doiron acquired the serene property. They are honoured to be keeping the legacy and traditions of Kindred spirits alive.

Welcome to the Family

Adam and Marsha Doiron, along with Michael and Stacy Hoffarth, are the new dynamic ownership team at Kindred Spirits! They're excited and eager to build on the Kindred Spirits legacy.

Michael, Stacy, and their two girls will be hands-on at the site, ready to greet both new and returning guests. We hope you will join us on picturesque Prince Edward Island to create memorable experiences together.


Many of the Kindred Spirits staff and guests return year after year and are considered to be an extension of the family. The general manager, has been with Kindred Spirits for over 9 years! She works with Michael and Stacy to ensure that all of our guests and staff are taken care of.

Michael, Stacy, Adam and Marsha, along with Dana and all of the staff at Kindred Spirits welcome you to the Kindred Spirits Family.

 “Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”

-Lucy Maud Montgomery


I absolutely love the staff at Kindred Spirits. When we checked out, it felt like we were leaving family behind.
