We were impressed with this bright and spacious home. We had the best family vacation week! Cant wait till they have a new ping pong table in the family room basement. Despite the NS drought, we swam every day, and enjoyed the trickle of a river for catching minnows, a turtle and toads. We thought it was a great week in a great place that became our home for a week.

Over all the cottage was nice and the location was great but the cottage was lacking in a few aerie's, ie cleaning and maintenance, The toilets especially had not been cleaned, two of the three toilets needed repair, boards on the lower deck need replacement. There were no cleaning supplies or toilet paper left out for our use, after a few day we had to contacted the owner who gave us permission to purchase what we needed and he would reimburse us the cost which he did.

Thanks for leaving a review. I am surprised by the ratings you gave. The feedback by text message that everything was great. You never mentioned anything about cleaning and if you did, I would have sent the cleaners immediately.

Great location, could use a few upgrades for 5 stars

Overall we had a great stay and the owner was quick to respond and even took the time to meet up. The property has a couple of really nice decks and it seems the prevailing wind is towards the house which has a nice cooling effect, and will push boats back towards shore in case legs are tired. Many sights are within 25-60 driving if the property. Cleaning could have been better and the lack of wi-if (was not listed as amenity, but we felt it’s a normal expectation nowadays) was disappointing especially for the kids. And there was a paddleboat and normal little boat but no lifevests or paddles. Small upgrades like these Will make it a 5-star property.

Needed a good cleaning. Oven was disgusting looked like it was never cleaned. Dead bugs and cobwebs everywhere.Decks in poor condition some with boards rotting. Host knew when we were arriving,but place wasnt aired out or dehumifier turned on,basement was very musty smelling and damp. Property has been allowed to become very rundown,which is to bad because it has great potential.Just not cared for.Host was very dismissive of my complaints,stated that I should have contacted him when I arrived with any issues. I fail to see what he was going to do about it when we were already there. It required a big clean and lots of repairs which couldnt be done while we occupied it. Not a good experience for people coming to Nova Scotia

This is simply a dishonest and unethical review. I was contacted when this guest was leaving telling me the cottage needed cleaning. This is at the end of the stay. She never contacted me on arrival. She is one of the few people who wants to take advantage of people. We rarely get this quality in our cottage. We can’t teach integrity and honesty.

Roomy, private and great base of operations

This property is a lovely location to simply stay at and visit with family, or use as a base of operations to explore the south shore. The first thing you see when you walk in is a lovely wall of windows overlooking the lake. The area is extremely quiet and private through the week. On the weekend, there was a bit more activity on the lake, but all was quiet through the night. We were a party of six - five adults and one teen. The size of the property worked perfectly, with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms accommodating privacy as needed. The kitchen, dining, and living room areas were roomy, and the dining table was big enough for lots of board games. Our host was great when we ran into a little trouble with the water not working. (Due to a power outage from a storm - not the property's fault!) He promptly sent someone out and all was fine very quickly. We happily recommend this place to others. If Internet access is important for you, top up your data plan and you'll be good to go. Cell reception is great there.
