About this property

Lake Mushamush Cottage!

Retreat into nature and soak up cottage life on Lake Mushamush! Just a short walk from Big Mushamush—one of the South Shore's largest freshwater lakes, known for its clear water, sandy beaches, and warm swimming—this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers everything you need to slow down and reconnect.

Nestled within the quaint community of cottagers on Lake Mushamush, you'll experience the charm of lakeside living with the privacy of your own space, including private parking, a spacious lawn, covered porch, BBQ, firepit, and nearby lake access.

Inside, the open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area makes it easy to gather together. The main bedroom features a queen bed and small closet, while the second bedroom includes a twin-over-double bunk bed and dresser. A well-equipped kitchen and 3-piece bathroom provide all the comforts of home.

The space is yours to enjoy, and we would recommend bringing your floaties, kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, to spend the day out on the water, or exploring nearby hiking trails and beautiful Indian Falls. While you’re relaxing in nature, you will have the peace of mind of all the conveniences of Bridgewater, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg within a 10-20 minute drive.

Whether you're gathering around the fire, enjoying your morning coffee on the porch, or spending the afternoon at the lake, we hope that The Bettina becomes a place where simple moments turn into lasting memories!

Fran (the host) was quick to help us out when the toilet was not flushing when we arrived. The cabin is quaint and a part of a great lakeside community, with lots of welcoming neighbours. Not only that, there was also a nice snack basket when we arrived. Very responsive and great location, highly recommend!

This is a very sweet cottagy cottage with easy access from the highway… excellent for day trips to Mahon Bay and Lunenburg… Very very close proximity to Bridgewater, which has all of your groceries and Walmart needs. We went to La Casetta in Bridgewater for dinner one night and highly recommend. It is a two bedroom with the second bedroom being bunkbeds… There is air-conditioning in the main room and so you know no air-conditioning in the bedrooms, but there are fans… The main room has a closet with hangers, the second room does not. There are plenty of drawers for storage. This is an ideal location for a very small group of friends, maybe two or three and for a young family. At the end of the road is the beach, which is just lovely. The docks and chairs are private so bring your own chairs. The cottage itself is sparkling clean. We were there for a week so used the kitchen every day. The sink is quite shallow but perfect for a cottage… Fran, your host, is excellent with communication and also responsive to anything during your stay. We were there over the August long weekend and it was quiet quiet quiet… It is a great central place and highly recommend.
