Ask a questionAbout David
We designed and built this custom post & beam home in 1999 and over the years have spent many wonderful summers on the lake and winters at Ski Martock with our children. Our kids are now grown so we are happy to share this very special place with your family and friends... our valued guests.
David purchased this country house / chateau in 1999
Why David chose Smiths Corner
We can only refer you to the beautiful pictures (both inside & out) and the 99% 5 Star reviews. Falls Lake is clean, clear and exceptionally good for swimming, kayaking and canoeing. The cottage is conveniently located between the beautiful touristy towns of Chester, Mahone Bay & Lunenburg on the South Shore and the many local orchards and wineries in the Annapolis Valley along the Bay of Fundy, all within 50 minutes of the cottage.
What makes this country house / chateau unique
Very comfortably furnished with all the modern conveniences but set in a rustic environment. There's no 'roughing it' at our place :).
