About the host
Hosted by Kathryn & John

Why they chose this property
We are drawn to the water and natural areas. We love to hike, sail, and kayak and want to share the space with others. We love that this rural property is close to the university town of Antigonish. Antigonish is quaint little town but due to the university, has everything we might need: shopping, restaurants, etc...
