This property is superb! Our communication with Meagan was easy and very responsive. The house is so comfortable and cozy, we wanted to move in! The village is quiet and very beautiful and the view of the marsh outside our door was mesmerizing. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect stay in gorgeous Nova Scotia!!

This is a really nice place. We had an amazing time, it is so peaceful and tranquil. It’s close enough to Halifax but far enough to feel remote. Meagan, was lovely and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

This was by far the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! The cottage exceeded all of our expectations. It was spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with all the little touches that made us feel right at home. Every detail had clearly been thought of, making our stay comfortable and relaxing.Meagan was an exceptional host—friendly, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

This property was so beautiful. The views were spectacular and the house was very warm and inviting. It was the perfect vacation home for my family. The hike just down the street was the cherry on top of our stay! Definately want to stay here again when we come back to Nova Scotia to visit family.

Our stay was lovely. We had elderly parents with disabilities. We managed but there were a lot of steps in the property. Meagan was very efficient with the opening and closing process. The home has wonderful kitchen with amazing views. It was very clean and a pleasure to stay there.
