About the host
Hosted by Kathryn & John
We are both travellers at heart. After years of working abroad and sailing around the North Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Caribbean, we have decided to set down some roots in this lovely spot.
Why they chose this property
We are drawn to the water and natural areas. We love to hike, sail, and kayak and want to share the space with others.
We love that this rural property is close to the university town of Antigonish.
Antigonish is quaint little town but due to the university, has everything we might need: shopping, restaurants, etc...
