Excellent Lake Vacay!

We stayed here for one week with extended family. There was plenty of room for everyone, lots of nooks and crannies to relax. Lots of room for time together and time alone to read a book or relax. The cottage and lake area had everything we needed! The host, Rebecca, was very responsive and answered questions immediately. Will be back for a third booking next year!

Our 100 Year Stay

The Shortt Lake cottage was the perfect home base for our family gathering for my Dad's 100th Birthday. Handy for pickups from the airport. Close to my Dad's place in Truro. And comfortable for family connections throughout the day and night.

We had a great family weekend. It’s a beautiful place. Big enough that we all had our own space and personal enough that we were all around each other. We were able to bring our own pontoon boat and kayaks. The bonfire pit was nice and relaxing. Enjoyed the hot-tub. This property is a good bang for your buck. I would suggest this place to everyone.

Amazing stay!

The property was great and we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views and it was even decorated for the holidays. The driveway however wasn’t plowed and it was really difficult to get out. Overall, lovely.

A little out of the way!

The property is quite beautiful though might have benefited from some cleaning details. It was very distant from everything so be prepared to get everything you need right away or make frequent, long trips to Truro. Beautiful property though!
