Cozy, Artful, Cottage; 60 Acres; 5 Min. to Annapolis Royal; Gorgeous Water Views

I can't say enough good about Wildflower cottage. We found the cottage itself to be very well appointed,clean, comfortable and welcoming in its' decor. The owners truly do want you to have an enjoyable stay and it shows in every detail. The wonderful long view of the fields,river and valley is an ever changing delight to watch with your morning coffee or evening meal. The entire property is truthfully and beautifully portrayed in the photos and is even more delightful in person. If you've never been to this part of the world,Wildflower cottage is a wonderful introduction as well as being nicely situated for exploring the region. This was our first stay here and if it's to be, certainly not our last.

The photos on the website were right on. Wildflower Cottage was a delight, the location perfect for our Bay of Fundy discovery. Andi and Steve, the owners, are equally wonderful.

From our front room, we could see the Annapolis River, a tidal river. How cool to see the difference in the river when the tide was in/tide was out. The Cottage has 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths so it would be perfect for 2 couples or a small family. Kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of comfortable places to sit and relax. We spent evenings outside watching the sky, seeing the light change and enjoying the bird songs we heard. Our family of chipmunks darted around. Our pheasants were a bit more shy, they ran into the shrubs when we were around.

If you want a central location on the Bay of Fundy side of Nova Scotia, you could not find a better place. Wildflower is near the charming town of Annapolis Royal, which was founded around 1605. The town is small, great shops, extremely nice people.

If you are planning to visit, we found Wildflower the perfect introduction to Nova Scotia.

We loved it.

This property exceeded all of my expectations. We came to Nova Scotia for a two week birthday/genealogy trip. The first 5 days were spent in other locations. I had never rented a house before, but decided to take a chance because I wanted a comfortable "home base" for the second half of the trip. I was confident that it would meet all of our needs based on the other reviews I read, but they really did not do this place justice!

The views from the front room of this farm house are just stunning. Looking out over the meadow while drinking our morning coffee was just wonderful. The meadow is loaded with rabbits and even home to at least one lovely pheasant who paid a visit every day.

Since we were on vacation for two weeks, we also wanted a place where we could cook our own food! Eating out every single day gets old quick, AND gets very expensive!! We bought some food at the grocery store in town but we also found a meat market on the way there where we got some lovely grass fed steaks. We figured we would pan fry them, but when we got to the house we discovered that there is a portable gas grill with propane canisters in the pantry! I am sure that was on the list of what is included at the house, but I missed it and it was a really nice surprise! This kitchen really has everything imaginable that you could need to cook. Pans of all sizes, even some spices, foil and saran wrap! It also has plenty of counter space!!

Spending a day in a laundromat was not on my list of vacation "hot spots", but after a week of exploring Halifax, walking Blomidon beach at low tide, and vineyards, it was time to do some laundry!! Having access to a full sized washer and dryer was key in my decision to rent this location and they were a life saver!

I also have to add that Andi, the owner, is a wonderful, caring hostess. We had some very nice conversations about the property, the area, and my reason for visiting (genealogy and meeting some long lost relatives). She is an absolutely lovely person, and I really look forward to seeing her again on my next visit (hopefully next fall). After staying in this house, I won't even consider staying elsewhere! I miss my little home already!!

Immaculately clean. The views and fall color were so great. Very comfortable and hosts were so accommodating. It was private even though the owners live nearby. We will visit again so we can see more wildlife and hike. Lovely for a retreat for renewal and rest. Great music selection!

The fall colours were at their peak when our family of 3 recently stayed at wildflower cottage. After a long flight, arriving here was so soothing and sublime. The cottage, with its large picture windows displaying the beautiful meadows, matures trees, red barn and waterfront in panoramic view was out of a museum-quality painting. Hard to pull ourselves from away from this scene. The kitchen is large and definitely the best equipped of any vacation rental we've stayed at down to the stainless steel pots and pans, sharp knives and excellent coffee maker. There's a wonderfully cozy and spacious living room off the kitchen. The downstairs and upstairs bedrooms are thoughtfully designed and very comfortable. There is lots to do in Annapolis Royal and area, but we choose mainly to settle into our retreat and catch up on reading. Yet we did venture out each day and walked the town trails, had lunch or coffee at Bistro East, which we highly recommend, and explored the amazing historic gardens. We saw a good Celtic music band at the King's Theatre one evening and spent another day hiking in Keji park. The owners were delightful. We will definitely return. Many thanks. M&J
