About this property
Sandy beaches, big trees, lovely 3BR lodge - private. 10 km to Mahone Bay area
Privacy and comfort, a nice deck and screened in porch both with a grand view of Big Lake Mushamush nestled under huge trees, with swimmable, crystal clear water. Sharing our family cottage with you after 45 years in our family!
Only 10-15 minutes from Mahone Bay/Lunenburg heritage towns. Lots to see and do. You wont find a more secluded spot on this highly prized lake.

About the host
Hosted by Allen Fownes
I enjoy living near the water, we divide our time between the city and the South Shore. Big Mushamush was an important part of our summers and love everything about it.
Why they chose this property
This property was built by our family about 50 years ago on one of the most private, beautiful parts of the lake. We are now sharing it with select guests who will make treasured memories here. There is no other place quite like it on this beautiful busy lake.
What makes this property unique
The cottage is 'just right' in terms of size and amenities - no hot tub, but the nicest lake swimming you will ever enjoy - two sandy beaches, crystal clear water, gradual with no dropoff - we have a dock with kayak, paddleboard, and paddle boat with a bimini to spend a glorious afternoon exploring the private shoreline. There is a boatlaunch at Northfield abot 2 km away by boat if you would like to bring your own. The shade of giant oaks and pines keeps you comfortable in the warmest part of Nova Scotia.
The cabin has reclaimed Doug Fir floors, pine shiplap walls and an open cathedral ceiling with ceiling fan. Breezes off the lake and the shade of the huge oaks over the deck keep it nice, without the buzz of an AC.
The view down the lake is spectacular - three islands are just offshore - you can paddle to them easily. We have a dock for your boat if you want to bring one,
