Amazing Stay

First let me start with Barb is an amazing host. Everything was perfect from the beginning. Barb was easy to communicate with, the house was beautiful and the spot couldn’t be more perfect. The views were beautiful, and the house was perfect from the decor to kitchen/bathroom essentials. Access to Baxter Falls is steps away from the house, towns close by. You could ask for anything more! I would highly recommend Barb and her rental to anyone travel to Nova Scotia. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Weekend stay at the Crow's Nest

My wife and I, together with our son, daughter-in-law and their two children (toddler and newborn) thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend at the Crow's Nest (April 11 to 14). Barb (the host) replied promptly to all queries and went out of her way to ask about any special requests. The home was spotlessly clean and the kitchen extremely well provisioned. Clear instructions on the house were left. The second floor desk space was much appreciated by our son who had to attend to some work. When she found some items inadvertently left behind, Barb kindly offered to drop them off at our son's home nearby and very promptly did so. There was lots of outdoor space to play with our grandson and we all enjoyed exploring Baxter's Harbour Falls and the community park at Centreville. Many thanks!

Beautiful home on the Bay

This lovely home is beautifully decorated and well equipped. Steps away from Baxters Falls and short drive from rocky beach. Perfect for exploring the tides.

Lovely place for vacation

We spent three nights at the Crow's Nest at Baxter Harbour and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and well-equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The house is very nicely decorated and a comfortable place to hang out. Communication was great throughout the process. The views of the Bay of Fundy were great. If you stay at the house, you should make it a point of walking down to the Falls at both high and low tide to get a sense of how much the tides rise and fall. The road to the falls is right in front of the house. I highly recommend the house without any reservations!

About the host

Hosted by Barb Shaw

Welcome to the Crow's Nest and to Baxter's Harbour, your new best please to relax, recharge and boost creativity! I've been living between Nova Scotia and Ontario throughout my life and the call of the Bay won me back a few years ago. Working as a communications professional, the sights, sounds and smells keep my brain sharp.

I live a couple of doors down the road from The Crow's Nest and with years spent working in the tourism and wellness sector, it is my joy to share this special place with you.

I will offer you as much privacy as you need or I'm happy to provide a guided hike, along with my geologist husband and our senior dogs. We love watching the changing shoreline, hunting for amethyst and making wishes as the sun sets.

Please let me know if you need help with adventure planning or if there's any special requests that I can assist with.

Thank you again for sharing our special place.
