Stunning home with fabulous views!!

OMG this home was such a stunner! We arrived after dark because of the ferry ride, but when we arrived, the house had subdued lighting, relaxing music and some essential oils going. We both walked in and said "Wow, Oh my god"! And it was still dark, so we couldn't see the view, but we could hear it. The master was so comfortable and there was far more amenities and supplies than we used, but it is definitely my favorite VRBO I have stayed in. Owners really, really go that extra mile and did lots of thoughtful little things to make our stay amazing. Absolutely fantastic stay! All the stars!!!

Absolutely beautiful!

Unfortunately this was our last day of our week long hunt for my family ancestory. The home was beautiful, well appointed and had anything anyone could want. Wish we could have stayed longer! The views of the lake were amazing. Everything was just perfect….. clean, well supplied, secluded. Hope we left it in as good a shape as we found it. Thank you!

Cozy quiet and serene

We were so happy at the camper, it had every convenience and was well stocked. It was a perfect spot to relax at the end of the day (in the recliner chairs (inside and outside) or the hot tub!). The location is beautiful and incredibly peaceful, and very central to all the activities we took part in. The hosts were extremely nice and responsive to questions, and we would love to come back. Thank you so much.

Unbelievable Property and Location

This property is unbelievable for it's location, charm, comfort, and owner. I have stayed at many VRBO properties and this is, hands down, the best one I have stayed at. With a lighthouse and beach within walking distance, and overlooking a working harbor across the street, it is absolutely the ideal for experiencing the best of this area of Nova Scotia. The owner has amazing communication and provided an exemplary and low-stress experience.

Cozy and Comfy

My only suggestion would be to remove the oversized couch (which can be another bed) and replace with another chair allowing more space in the unit that is designed for 2 people.The place was clean and bed comfy. We enjoyed our stay!
