Travellers Rest is positioned on the south western portion of Prince Edward Island, just northeast of Summerside. Travellers Rest is situated at the junction point of Highway 1A and Highway 2. The community of Travellers Rest, part of Prince County, is also unincorporated. It is believed that the community of Travellers Rest used to be known as Rayner's Creek. As well, the community was formed in the early nineteenth century. Travellers Rest is just a short drive to Summerside, which is only 5.9 km (3.7 mi.) away.

As mentioned, Travellers Rest is next to Summerside, as well as the Summerside Airport, which makes Travellers Rest a peaceful, yet convenient base for touring Prince Edward Island.
