The space
Over the years additions have been added to the original farm house built in 1860. While originally part of a farm the house, and its barn, now sits in the middle of the village of Canning. It was owned by the members of the original family until end 2021. Since then we've be working to upgrade the property.

As you enter the house you will come into the back entrance complete with back stairs to upstairs (currently off limits as we are working on that area) and entrance to the laundry room. Next you will enter the eat-in country kitchen with gas stove. We have it set up for 10 with extra plates and cutlery available in the pantry.

There are two bathrooms; one upstairs, one downstairs - both with showers. The upstairs bathroom also has one of the old fashioned, now fashionable, cast iron tubs.

As you walk from the kitchen into the dining you you will find the dining table from my childhood-you might spot some of my drawings on it. It has several leaves (located beside the couch) which extends the table to sit to 10 (although our record is probably a cozy 16). You'll find lots of wine glasses and some sherry glasses in the cabinet here, as well as placemats and a table cloth in the drawers.

Next you will enter the living room with a large TV. I think it's 55". There is cable and also high speed WiFi throughout the house.

Through the living room you will find the door to the front entrance, entrance to sun porch, the downstairs bedroom and front stairs to the upstairs bedrooms.

The sunroom sits at the front of the house, faces south and is perfect for morning coffee and watching the village come alive.

This lovely, former farm house, is now a village house with 4 bedrooms - 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs, and sleeps 8. There is a double bedroom upstairs that has space for an airbed if you wish to bring one.

Our beds are set up with Duvets -European style. This means the duvet serves as both a blanket and top sheet. If you wish to have a top sheet they are available on site.

There is also a workspace upstairs with a printer (HP6890 - note if you are going to be printing you might need ink sorry I can't keep it full all the time. There should be some paper in the printer)

Children are welcome but we do not have any infant equipment at the house ie no change table, no crib etc.

Outside you will find a Fire pit with 4 chairs. There is kindling and wood for your fire in the barn. Please note fire safely requires the grate to be on top of the fire pit at all times and please ensure the fire is out (use the hose) before you retire for the night.

There is also a dining table with 6 chairs (note chairs might be in the barn). There are 4 additional outdoor dining chairs in the sunporch that can be moved to the outdoor dining area.

Note in NS we focus on the environment and recycling. In the kitchen you will find
Stainless Steel garbage for regular garbage
Cupboard under microwave has a container for paper (left side) and plastics (right side).
