Great family space
Our group consisted of 8 adults and 2 small children.
The bedrooms were large and the community spaces accommodated our group nicely.
The backyard had plenty of space for enjoying the outdoors. The location was ideal for our group.

Perfect for a large group
This property was the perfect place for a group of old friends to come together to celebrate a wedding. The number of bedrooms and the pullout couch accommodated our large group comfortably, as did the open kitchen and dining rooms. We very much enjoyed the spacious backyard seating area too. Highly recommend this property for your stay in Chester!

Magical place
Where do I start we had such a wonderful time at this lovely house it felt like home. Such a wonderful little village to walk around all the Comforts of home. We had an amazing lunch at the Focsle Pub then we proceeded to walk to the local Beach. Everything you need is within walking distance. They even had a pack and play for a baby. The backyard is so nice to sit out and just enjoy the smell and the sunset. I highly highly recommend this home. And will be back to stay again we had such a nice time. The hosts were incredible great communication great welcome with suggestions. Any questions we had they answered us right away.

We had a great family reunion in Nova Scotia and based half our stay in Chester. The dining room table was the focus of group dinners made in the well supplied kitchen. The back porch and shaded yard area was a welcome refuge for those wanting to sit and read away from the hubbub. The owner was very prompt in answering questions and super friendly, she supplied a badminton set when we asked if she had one, which was totally unnecessary but very kind. The large TV/Family room area was well used in the evenings by those who like to stay up later. There was plenty of room for all ten of us to have our own beds as appropriate. We loved our stay!

Excellent! Highly recommended.
4 well travelled couples had a fantastic time! No matter how many times we have been to Nova Scotia before, every time is different and special in its own way. The people are so welcoming and the views are spectacular!
This house did not disappoint! What great times we had exploring through the days and relaxing and enjoying each other’s company once arriving to our home away from home. Truly well thought of decor, very well outfitted kitchen, bathroom, fun and games, as well as little extras for guests. So comfortable and cozy, we were smiling every minute.
Thank you to our host preparing your lively home for us and making everything so easy relaxing. Lots of personal touches that we really appreciate as seasoned vacation home renters.
Best Trip and vacation home !

Fantastic stay!
The house was exactly as described. The house was tastefully decorated but not over done. Very open and roomy, exceptionally clean and more than well equipped. The kitchen has a double oven! and is very well equipped which made enjoying big family meals an easy delight.
The owners were easy to reach and very accommodating. They even left us a great welcoming bag with thoughtful gifts and a note. The personal were unexpected and very much appreciated.
This house was the perfect spot for our large family holiday.
We will definitely come back
Thank you!!!

Perfect! We picked Chester NS and this house as a gathering for our family holiday with family members traveling from near and far. The house has everything you need and more. Very well appointed and equipped.
Kelley, thank you for letting us gather at your beautiful home and for the added baby items for our infant which really added to the overall ease and comfort and enjoyment we had.
Thank you also for the gifts. We enjoyed each one ;)
I am thinking family Christmas next time!
Cheers

Overpriced, fragrant, income property
Overall would not recommend staying here!
Chester is a beautiful town, with easy access to everything on the south shore. It’s a wealthy little town with character.
However, I think these hosts have used this to overcharge for their property.
Positives: comfortable beds, beautiful yard, access to south shore; check in easy! Pictures reflect reality
Negatives: so many air fresheners that we all had a headache in entering. We actually took them outside for our stay; TV did not work; wireless internet slow; kitchen not well stocked; checkout instructions poor (charged for cleaning above average cleaning time?); dirty doors that need new paint;
Overall would not recommend staying here!

Huge Space, amazing value
Our family recently spent 5 days in this beautiful home, and we're very pleased with our stay in Chester. Small community, great weather, and a rental that had all the comforts of home. Anything and everything you would need in a kitchen was present, beds were comfortable, lovely spot out back with fire pits, nicely landscaped, even a few toys for young kids in the shed out back! Kelley from Chester Management group was extremely accommodating, and we highly recommend this property for large family gatherings. We enjoyed breakfast at the Kiwi Cafe, who also have amazing seafood chowder. Spent some time at Fo'c'sle which is the oldest pub in Nova Scotia, playing pool and enjoying some of the craft beers. Didn't have a chance to do the Iron Works distillery tour but was told that it's highly recommended. Enjoy your stay folks, this was a great place to spend time with our family.

Adequate and fair value
Six active 60+ people from around the world booked this older home for one week in mid July.
Kitchen: had lovely new appliances, plenty of dishes and cutlery for all, nice selection of stainless steel pots and pans, satisfactory knives but Teflon frying pans needed to be replaced as they were very difficult to cook with. (Several of us enjoy cooking so we found these worn out pans very frustrating)
BBQ grill & Laundry appliances: were both excellent in quality and easy to use.
Dining room/front sitting room: it had a large dining room table and acceptable chairs. Front room gathering area had pleasant enough arm chairs and a couch to make a nice visiting area, we also switched on the easy to use gas fireplace one evening to take the chill off the air. We did not use the Smart TV but it looked quite fine.
Bedrooms: Comfortable rooms, all had small room fans if needed. All the beds had VERY firm mattresses, it would have been nice to have had a quality memory foam or two available to add onto the mattress for those who desired something a little softer. We did find a thin sponge foam that added a wee bit of soft comfort for our older bones.
Bathrooms: were adequate
Outdoor area: Sufficient, but not inviting. We did not use this area.
Location: not close to the water but certainly within short walking distance to it, therefore reflected in the price
This house would be suitable for a family with children, or people that can negotiate the steep narrow stairs steps to the bedrooms. Overall this older home was adequate and user-friendly and only needs a few minor improvements to make it even better.
