Thank you Amy for taking care of the lakehouse. So happy to hear you and guests had a wonderful time and your stay was comfortable.
I traveled with a group of lifelong friends. We enjoyed everything about this house. The house offers many seating options indoors and out as well as comfortable sleeping for a large group. The lake is beautiful and was perfect for paddle boarding and kayaking. The covered porch was great for morning coffee and evening chats. The house is very well equipped, the hosts have thought of everything you might need to enjoy your stay.

thank you Carey for taking such great care of our lakehouse, we went up in the afternoon for a swim.
Thank you for the lovely review. It was my first time doing a review on VRBO and was expecting an area to expand so I could provide more personalized comments but it did not pop up
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property, and I must say it exceeded all of our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with fresh baked pastries and a bag of fantastic coffee. The check-in process was smooth, and Mylene was very accommodating, providing us with all the necessary information about the property and the surrounding area.
The home and property are immaculate, with a tasteful decor that makes it feel like a home away from home. The living space is spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, making it easy to prepare meals if you choose to dine in.
The location is perfect as it is just a short drive down the road to Mahone Bay and Lunenberg. The best of both worlds; lake and ocean.
We also appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home and property, which are too numerous to list!
In summary, I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We hope to return! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
All the best, R&J
Wow! This property is my favorite of all time. It has everything you need - and many luxuries on top of that. The views are amazing. So much space. The kitchen is phenomenal. We were greeted with delicious pastries. The coffee maker has on-board bean grinder. The Bartesian cocktails were phenomenal...We used the outdoor pizza oven. And top floor decks offered peaceful sitting areas for the mornings and evenings.Outside - we really enjoyed the lake - the kayaks and the SUPs.. And the water was warm enough for a nice swim! The hot tub was fantastic. We did not use the fire pits - but those areas were also a great potential area for evening views and conversations.The home was also very convenient to Mahone Bay and Lunenberg.We enjoyed 10 days in Nova Scotia, including time in Halifax and Cape Breton - but I think our time at the Lake House may have been the best of all of it. If you're looking for a stay in this region - this one needs to be on your list.
