This property is everything you would want & more! The home was exactly as advertised, but the pictures simply didn’t do it justice. The cottage was very comfortable, spacious & well appointed. I loved all the decor! The hosts were extremely response & easy to deal with. My only regret is I couldn’t stay longer!

The Nest

The house was amazing and the location was perfect. We were able to spend time in the wine region, Lunenburg, and Peggy's Cove, as well as decompress on the back porch and stare at the harbor.

Fantastic Stay at Deep Cove

Incredible stay!

The ultimate spot to get away from it all and spend quality time with family or friends. The view is outstanding and the house so beautiful :)) We travelled to Mahone Bay for a pub lunch and brewery visit the first day and repeated the outing in Chester the second day. Wonderful little towns and the people so friendly!!

Deep Cove Treasure

The property is in a beautiful location, and very well equipped. We enjoyed the solitude and view. It was a great place for the 30ish family that joined us. There were lots of trails that they used for hiking and running. Alan even supplied us with firewood, which we used. We would certainly consider revisiting! The few questions we texted were answered immediately. Great property and management.

Wonderfull/ Magnifique

Un véritable coup de cœur ! Le cottage offre une vue splendide sur la baie, qui change au fil des heures et invite à la contemplation. L’intérieur, décoré avec goût dans un esprit bord de mer, crée une ambiance douce et apaisante. Impossible de ne pas se laisser inspirer : cette vue m’a donné envie de revenir pour peindre des scènes maritimes directement depuis la terrasse. Une adresse à garder précieusement !The cottage offers a stunning view of the bay, ever-changing throughout the day and perfect for quiet contemplation. The interior, tastefully decorated in a charming seaside style, creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The view was so inspiring, it made me want to return just to paint maritime scenes from the terrace. Definitely a place to keep on my list!

Lovely In and Out!

A lovely property inside and out! The landscaping gives a peaceful and private view of the bay. Nicely decorated with even small vases of fresh flowers tucked in each room. The owners respond quickly and provide detailed descriptions and information. We hope to return for a longer stay!
