From the time we booked, it was easy to ask questions and get recommendations on places to see, do, and eat. The property itself is stunning and had plenty to keep us happy even when not out exploring. I loved the location and the ease to travel to Halifax, lunenburg, peoggys cove and more. The beds and pillows are just ok as they're super thin or overstuffed. It wouldn't stop me from rebooking, hopefully in the summer in the warmer weather. The hosts are great. The space is great.

We spent an amazing week at this well appointed, private, nature filled property. Cheryl the owner was incredibly responsive to any little questions we had while we were there. We enjoyed it all! Kayaking, hot tubbing, BBQing, games, relaxing, and a great base for excursions in NS. ❤️❤️

The place was everything we hoped for. Lots to do in the area and close enough to Halifax. Owners checked in regularly to see if we needed anything and couldn’t be more accommodating. Lots of toys and water activities offered at the house too. Perfect place for families!

First, the hostess, Cheryl, was wonderful. Very responsive and helpful. The house itself has a great kitchen and lots of space. The setting, though, is the greatest! Our grandson loved rolling down the hill, playing on the little beach and spotting jellyfish in the bay. Everything was in good shape. Sitting on the top deck and taking it all in was wonderful.

Great little spot - a little musty when we first got there but lots of nice windows to open so wasn’t a problems. Lots of deck and great places to hang out and watch the sunset. We’ll equipped and Cheryl was lovely to deal with with prompt replies!

Wonderful hosts, beautiful location! Despite the 12 hr drive to get there it was well worth it. Swimming and kayaking everyday in crystal clean water, we never made it to explore Halifax. Many nearby hiking trails. We highly recommend a stay here.
