First time in Nova Scotia

We loved it! We did day trips to Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove and the Halifax Waterfront and we had company come for a relaxing afternoon from Annapolis Valley. The location was perfect for us, as it is also off the beaten path, about 15 mins to anything. The cottage is tastefully decorated, clean and the kitchen is equipped with everything we could possibly need. My partner was impressed with the comfy bedding and pillows. I had to ask Coralee a question and the answer came within minutes! We may consider another stay and have already recommended this to another family member for next year.

The Perfect Spot? A week at the Blue Lodge.

The Blue Lodge is an absolute treasure. Secluded, spacious, and well-equipped, it sits directly on one of the cleanest, calmest, and quiet freshwater lakes you will find. And yet, you are less than 15 minutes away from civilization - the nearby city of Bridgewater has everything you will need, and you are very close to key Nova Scotia destinations including Lunenburg (home of the Bluenose) and Peggy's Cove, perhaps the most picturesque spot in Canada. In our week at the Blue Lodge during a prime summer week we only saw one person on the entire lake, passing on a boat far away. It was like we had the whole lake to ourselves. It's a perfect swimming spot, and we made a daily routine of swimming to the nearby island and back. Animal spotting is incredible here. We watched a bald eagle (yes!) bathe himself in the lake, dry himself in the sun, and then perch in a nearby tree. We found six nearby deer who seemed as interested in us as us in them. We saw a nearby fox while driving. Also a red squirrel, chipmunk, geese, and more. The caretakers of the Lodge, Karin and Berthold, live nearby, helped guide us in-person to the Lodge, and helped explain the local waste collection as well as the workings of the lodge. They are incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional, and Karin who helped prepare the Lodge is apparently an immaculate cleaner - I've not seen a vacation property this clean on arrival, right down to freshly polished grills on the BBQ. Highly, highly recommended!!

Very Fun Cottage

We were a group of adult friends aged 30+. We stayed 3 nights, during the winter. We spent the entire time inside, and we had an absolute blast! This is a wonderful cottage, and absolutely worth visiting. I am absolutely going to rent it again in the summer.

Quiet spot near Lunenburg

Jess makes everything just right.The bedrooms and living areas are roomy, the beds firm. Plus the kitchen is great with plenty of dishes cooking supplies. The spices were an unexpected plus. Evenings on the back deck are very relaxing. Everything you need is here.

Lovely spot - as advertised

Quaint property a short trip from Lunenburg. Quiet, peaceful - if you need a break from the hustle, this is your spot. Only stayed one night, but place was super well equipped. Took the kayak out for a paddle. Host was responsive, friendly and available (if needed), otherwise you didnt notice she was on-site. Highly recommended!
