About this property
Artistic Getaway Near Halifax | King Bed, Spacious Deck & Fire Pit
Welcome to the Artbnb—an airy, art-filled retreat surrounded by nature. Located just 35 minutes from downtown Halifax and the airport, and 40 minutes from Peggy’s Cove and nearby beaches, it’s the perfect blend of creativity, comfort, and convenience.
Enjoy a peaceful backyard escape with minimal car noise and clear starry skies at night. Relax by the fire pit, fire up the BBQ, or unwind on the patio with cozy seating. Please note: there are storage units located approximately 400 feet behind the property, visible from the deck. They are currently inactive and not in regular use, so the space remains quiet and private.
Inside, the home features a fully equipped kitchen with all essentials provided, including a full-sized fridge, oven, pots and pans, and a coffee maker. Just off the kitchen, the open-concept dining area is perfect for meals and entertaining. The bright, comfortable living room includes one double pullout couch, a flat-screen TV with Netflix and Prime, and a sunny office space with a wraparound desk—great for remote work or study.
At the end of the day, retreat to the spacious master bedroom with a king-sized bed, generous closet space, a window A/C unit, and a spa-like ensuite featuring a custom shower and makeup vanity. For additional guests, two single rollaway beds are available upon request, allowing the home to comfortably sleep up to five or six.
While you'll feel tucked away in nature, the property is still close enough to the city to be accessible by taxi, Uber, or Lyft.
Please note: the basement is a separate rental unit and is not accessible to guests.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host
Hosted by Hunter Watson
My name is Callie and my partner is Hunter. I am a registered nurse and Hunter owns a moving company. We are both adventurous, easy-going, and hardworking, and are often described as modern hippies by our friends and family. We love having the opportunity to host guests and provide a comfortable and interesting space.
Why they chose this property
Together over the years, we've created the Artbnb out of a love of plants and art. The location provides a quiet atmosphere and a nature-filled backyard, while also being very close to the city. We both grew up around this area and have many local recommendations displayed in the home.
What makes this property unique
We love this bright and spacious house. There is lots of natural light, perfect for houseplants (which fill the home). Handcrafted artwork fills most of the walls along with some reprints. The location is far enough away from the city lights to enjoy a gorgeous starry night view. The large backyard is perfect for backyard activities and bonfires, with a spacious deck and barbeque included. The house is a 20-minute walk away from the beautiful Pockwock Falls.
