Disappointed

Confusion on date of check-in @ 5pm, having to wait for a team to arrive to prepare it for us, but we’re fairly compensated for it. Three bedrooms with pull out couch in living room, but the third bedroom had wash/dryer & hot water tank in it. It had everything we needed, but could have been a lot cleaner. The views are breathtaking.

Great Spot

We certainly enjoyed our stay, very clean and comfortable. Three well apointed bedrooms with lots of linens in the bathroom. Kitchen was well equipped with space for two to cook and be with family for dinner. The view out to the small community of Margaree Harbor was beautiful. The evening sunsets and midnight stars unforgettable. We will definitely book again.

Excellent stay!

This was our 3rd time staying here and it won’t be the last! Everything was clean and comfortable and it was really easy to get in. My only criticism would be the bathroom toilet - it was a bit finicky to flush and would run if the handle wasn’t lifted back up manually. Would otherwise highly recommend this cottage! We will be back!

About the host

Why they chose this property

As a repeat visitor to the area, primarily to salmon fish on the famous Margaree River, I have had the pleasure of renting a number of cottages over the past several years, including this one. When the opportunity was presented to own and share this with friends, family and other avid fisherman and those simply looking for a relaxing seaside getaway, I couldn't pass it up!
