The house was immaculately clean, felt very welcoming and had everything we needed and more!The host was very friendly and shared information on the events happening in the area. Mahone Bay is amazing…. The people are so welcoming and helpful; the scenery is fantastic; one could spend hours exploring the shops, eateries, or just relaxing on the patio at the house.

We really enjoyed staying at Drop Anchor in Mahone Bay. The space was larger than I thought it would be based on photos and was very well appointed with kitchen tools, towels, pillows, blankets etc. There was a new deck area and bbq and a private parking spot. The hosts live in the second half of the home but still very private. A short drive to Lunenberg, we really enjoyed exploring the area. There is a brewery at the end of the street and a busy coffee shop just down the road. Would definitely stay again!

Kelly and Jerry have thought of everything you may need on your vacation. We found the house and property immaculately clean and inviting. It was hard to leave and go sight seeing because you just wanted to sleep in each morning and explore the outdoor deck after being gone all day! We're so greatful you shared your home with us! Truly a place that we would come back to and have the fondest of memories! A great place to drop ancor indeed!

An absolute gem of a stay! The home is a rare find—it combines incredible, stylish decor with a layout that feels genuinely warm, homey, and wonderfully functional. Located on a quiet, super-private street just minutes walk from Main Street, it’s the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion right next to all the action.The hosts are exceptionally friendly, and meeting Kelly upon arrival set the absolute best tone. She gave us a warm welcome and a thorough, perfect tour of the property. The kitchen is a chef's dream, fully stocked with every amenity you could possibly need, and the bed is remarkably comfortable for a great night's sleep. To top it all off, the private deck is an amazing spot to unwind in complete quiet. You truly won’t be disappointed staying here!
