About this property

The Lookout - Cottage

Luxury modern home with incredible ocean views. Just under 1,000 sq. ft. on 2 acres of land, The Lookout has been meticulously designed with a chef's kitchen, gas fireplace, heated bathroom floor, SmartTV, Wifi and some of the best views on the South Shore.

The Lookout is ideal for a family, couple's getaway, girls weekend and anyone wanting to explore the natural beauty of Nova Scotia. We also welcome pets!

Cozy, warm, bright and clean open concept living. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the ocean or sleep-late and take-in the view from your bed in the principal suite!

Meticulously planned to maximize the views and the natural beauty of the nearby forest. No detail has been overlooked with Quartz counters, heated bathroom floors, gas fireplace and luxury touches throughout.

Guests are encouraged to use self check-in with all the details provided 24 hours prior to their stay.

The Lookout is located on the world-famous Lighthouse Route! Crescent Beach and Risser's Provincial Park are just a five minute drive away where you can swim, kitesurf or spend the day by the water.

Foodies love both the nearby Ploughman's Lunch and the LaHave Bakery where you can get incredible baked goods (go early!). Beachside Pizza is also nearby for a quick bite!

The historic LaHave Ferry departs every 30 minutes and is now FREE and the quickest way to Lunenburg (15 minutes). Continue on the Lighthouse Route to Mahone Bay for more shopping and sightseeing.

The large town of Bridgewater is 20 minutes away and has everything you need including shopping, groceries, movie theatre and more.

If your party requires more space, please check out The Lookout Domes, just across the street. Click on our Hosting profile to view listing.

Lovely home

The home was perfect for us. Sadly couldn’t walk anywhere as it was located just off the highway and too narrow to safely walk on the side of it. But overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great winter getaway

Very well-equipped and cozy spot to spend a few rainy days in December. We were able to do lots of cooking and read by the fire.The separate bedrooms and baths allowed for sleeping in which was niceWill definitely go back when weather improves.

Lookout - for the sunsets (and the deer)

The house was immaculate, comfortable and welcoming. We had excellent beds and appreciated the high end appliances. There was even an array of basic provisions - an unexpected bonus! Above all we loved the views. Sunset from the lookout is sublime.

Scenic and Serene

The Overlook was the perfect spot to explore and enjoy the beauty of the southern shore and lighthouse trail. The house itself was incredibly comfortable and well appointed, with a beautiful view of the shore. Our host was welcoming and quick to respond to any questions we had. All in all, a great place to relax and enjoy nature.

Quiet, comfortable and relaxing!

We had a great two night stay on the Dublin Shore. Communication with Jill was excellent; prompt/flexible/clear and the very well appointed ‘Lookout’ made for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Fresh bread from the nearby LeHave bakery and a stellar soup and sandwich at Ploughman’s Lunch made the visit complete!
