This cottage was one of the most thoughtfully appointed properties I have had the privilege of staying. Beth thought of many comforts to ensure our stay was seamless. She left multiple personal touches that showed her attention to our stay which made us feel special. The beds are very comfortable and the linens are excellent. All of this is outshone by the fantastic location both in proximity but also the ocean views. We look forward to returning!

This was a clean and fully equipped cottage. The view was outstanding and the amenities were all there. The personal touches by the host were so appreciated and went beyond anything we could have expected (there were toothbrushes, in case you forgot!). All communication was clear and timely. Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

We stayed at the cottage for a week in August travelling from Toronto. I can’t express enough how wonderful our experience was! Our host, Beth, was easy to communicate with. She took care of every little detail to make our stay enjoyable. The cottage is very clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The Check-in and Check-out processes were very easy. We loved how quiet the area was, all we could hear were sounds of the ocean and the birds chirping. The cottage has access to a rocky shore. We were able to swim in the ocean, which was very calm and clean. For someone who would have difficulty walking over the rocks, there is a bench to sit and watch the ocean waves. Our most memorable experiences were watching the sunsets from our deck and from the shore. We visited nearby Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, and enjoyed kayaking in Blue Rocks. We are really grateful to Beth for the hospitality and hope to come back to this property on our next trip to Nova Scotia.
