Hello, and welcome to The Idle Hour!
I’m a localist by nature — a strong sense of place and belonging animates all my creative projects. It’s in this spirit that my husband Mark Rodger and I said yes to the restoration of the this beautiful heritage property, founded by Captain Thomas Benjamin Selig, c. 1919.
My husband Mark and I invite you to experience the beauty of nature, and the ocean at your doorstep from the comfort of home. Idle a while, and connect with this charming coastal community ⏤ its stories, and its natural wonders.

Varför värden valde detta boende
Steeped in history and 90 minutes from Halifax, Port Medway is a hidden gem on Nova Scotia’s South Shore.
Some fifteen years ago, Mark and I visited the enchanting village of Port Medway for the first time, and later made the area our second home. Frequent evening walks always led us down to the shore, past the quiet, crumbling, once grand Idle Hour. Two years ago, we had the opportunity to purchase the property we had always admired, and I got busy with the restoration.
We hope you enjoy the newly done period interiors, squeaky clean bathrooms, quiet corners, and welcoming porches that invite you to step back in time to a simpler, more tranquil life ⏤ one where you may settle awhile, unwind and recharge.

The Idle Hour is situated in the historically significant village of Port Medway, which remains a working fishing village. A 30-minute video on the history of the home, within the context of Port Medway and the South Shore, will be released in 2025.
The home itself is situated on two acres of land with 450 feet of ocean front. Accessible by land or sea, the property provides easy access to the ocean for kayaking, swimming, or paddle boarding. It is perfect for hosting large gatherings, yet provides ample privacy for those looking to unwind. Picture yourself lounging in Adirondack chairs by the outdoor firepit, enjoying al fresco dining, and taking in the breathtaking sunsets.
Inside, the home features a gourmet kitchen, a cozy indoor fireplace, 3 + 1 bedrooms, and a library devoted to Western classics. Its comfortable, repurposed and original furnishings contribute to the warmth and authenticity of the home.
But don't just take our word for it—see what our guests have to say:
- “Absolutely lovely location - we loved the view, the lawn, the comfortable beds, and the quality furnishings.”
- “Beautiful place, quiet and relaxing.”
- “The house is bright and spacious… The kitchen… is incredibly well appointed and looks right out of [a] design magazine.”
- “The beds were the most comfortable of any AirBnb rental we have stayed at. The linens were fresh and crisp with comfortable pillows.”
