It was a beautiful home on a lovely property. Close to all amenities. The property was clean and very well maintained and the host was informative and handled all questions promptly. It was a great location and would highly recommend it for a stay by a group or a family.

Very clean old house. Suited the vibe of Lunenburg perfectly. Lots of room for the family. We had a small hiccup with the door code, but the host responded promptly and fixed the issue.

What a lovely spot to spend a couple of nights in Lunenburg. The photos online really don’t do this house justice….it’s so much bigger than the online photos sugggest. It was very clean and well equipped with kitchen utensils etc, and bathroom supplies (shampoo, soaps etc). What a bonus to have a washer & dryer on hand!!! Plus the fact that our sweet doggo was welcome was excellent. I would 100% recommend staying at Shorty’s Place if you find yourself in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

It was a lovely spacious place. Some issues getting in but appreciated a well stocked kitchen and good space options. Great laundry facilities. Suggestions: better lighting in the dining room. It was so dark as to be unusable. No notes on heating, fireplace etc which would have been helpful and saved time. Good local pamphlets but a one-page on where to get groceries, etc would be nice.

All amenities as stated were provided, however, upon discovering what appeared to be a rodent had chewed open and eaten from an unopened loaf of bread and a sealed unopened bag of chips which were both on the kitchen counter, we contacted the host. We received a less than satisfactory response in our opinion, even making light of what we considered to be a serious issue.We enjoyed our time in Lunenburg and when we next visit, we will seek other accommodations.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad that you enjoyed your time in Lunenburg and that all of the amenities were as described. I was sorry to hear about the food packaging being damaged during your stay. I take any concern regarding possible pests seriously, and I apologize if my response at the time came across as making light of your concern that was certainly not my intention. The property is a more than 200-year-old home, and while we take preventive measures and have not had this reported as an ongoing issue, we followed up on your concern. Guest comfort and cleanliness are very important to us, and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

We had a great stay at Shorty’s Place. There are little details in the decorating everywhere to make you feel like you are staying in an old fisherman’s house. The house is very charming! There ended up being a planned power outage during our stay that ran for 10 hours, but the house comes equipped with a Generac which was an amazing feature and very useful. The kitchen has all the basics that you need to cook, and the bathroom is spacious. The washer and dryer are a big bonus, and the bedrooms were large and comfortable. The location is good, though on a busy road. The traffic noise did not bother us though. The host and the property manager were both very friendly and helpful! Thanks for a great stay!

What a gem of a place! Very authentically East Coast style with so much character. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer because it truly is set up like a cozy little home where you could relax and read a book or play a game. We loved recharging on the lovely deck. The location is ideal. We walked the 20 mins or so into town because parking can be difficult there if at peak hours. The hill to and from town is minimal compared to the hills in town.

My husband, daughter, son in law and I stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed our stay thoroughly. It has a very well stocked kitchen and bathroom (the bathroom was huge!) And the back deck was perfect for our morning coffees. The air-conditioning was a window unit in one bedroom upstairs but there were ceiling fans and we opened windows and we stayed comfortable. We walked to the waterfront and it was a lovely walk. It took us about 15 minutes. The staircase to the bedrooms is quite steep so probably not a good choice for someone with mobility issues. FYI, there was no restaurant delivery available on Sunday. We would definitely recommend.
