From Scott and family…

A gem of a retreat, 5 stars!! What a find!

This beautiful property just north of Shelburne NS, in middle Ohio nestled away from the wide world on deception lake was an unbelievable find. The last property on the winding road you a greeted by view of the lake and wonderful wrap around deck.

The cottage was clean, spacious, comfortable beds and allows you to be removed from the world with all the comforts of the modern world.

A beautiful fire wood burning fireplace, two outdoor fire pits, wharf onto the water and sand beach.

Whether you are relaxing in the Sauna or Hot tub, out on the lake in the kayaks or canoe or in the lake swimming everything about this place is about convenience and class.

From the spectacular sunrise in the morning and sunsets at night. I highly recommend this property for your next family or personal getaway. I know I will be back to Morning Mist Cottage

About the host

Hosted by Pauline Raymond

Host profile image
Right now I have transitioned back to Canada having spent 12 years in the Bahamas teaching music education for a portion of this time while owning and operating a vacation rental in Cable Beach Nassau.
Having four adult children and eight grandchildren I am spending more time in Nova Scotia these days. Being in the outdoors, swimming in the ocean and lake, walking my toy poodle Lily, decorating/renovating, music, gardening and learning are some of my passions.

Why they chose this property

My former husband and I were married on the land and spent summers at our cottage with our four children. In 1998 I became sole owner of Morning Mist Cottage and continue to renovate and decorate this sensational property. 'Coming home to your heart' is indeed an opportunity for relaxation and spiritual renewal, laughter and love.

It is beautiful in the spring, summer and fall and now winter. I was not at the cottage during November for 15 years until I moved back from the Bahamas. Getting ready to open sometime in April or May.

What makes this property unique

I have maintained the rustic appeal with all new amenities. Guests repeatedly have said that the photos depict only some of the beauty that is felt on this property.

Guests love the peace, the stillness of the lake, the south facing sunshine, the forest, the adventures through swimming on the lake or canoeing/kayaking and the many options we offer having three fireplaces, a cedar sauna, comfortable beds and tons of space. Most importantly, I invested in an Artic Spa/hot tub. It is one of the finest hot tub around with a salt water system that keeps the water clean and invigorating. The potential for health benefits let alone the fun is worth it to provide for our guests.

Having grandchildren in my life I have made an adventure of the forest with new Geo Dome and swings and net for basketball.
