Our country setting
Close to a beautiful beach and cove. Close enough for day trips to other parts of Nova Scotia.
We loved our stay here! Beautiful big back yard with trail going back to the water! Great space for our dogs! Our space was cozy, clean and well equipped with everything we needed! Definitely recommend and will be back!
Wonderful accommodation, Hosts were truly "super". Lovely and private views. Quiet. A very nice stay.

The space was exceptionally clean and tidy with everything I needed. And the property is beautiful with a fire pit and a pristine brook at the back of the property and kayaks available. The owners were friendly responsive to questions. I will definitely be back.

Close to Mavilette Beach
We were greeted by Lee on arrival and shown to our home for the weekend.
Nice clean studio type apartment with lots of amenities. Comfortable bed, and nice powerful shower.
Pet friendly too which was a bonus
Mavilette Beach is just a 3 minute drive away.

Funky Smell
The host was super nice so I feel bad writing this but I have to. The room we stayed in was super nice but there was a funky smell everywhere: towels, sheets, pillowcases, in the air. My girlfriend described it as pond water. It lingered on our clothes and bodies for a day afterward. The water also tasted a little funny.

Best vacation trip
Lee and Kat were absolutely amazing hosts and they property was so beautiful in such a good spot for going to the beach and such a beautiful river in the back. It was an absolute pleasure being able to stay there for a week. Thank you very much.
Nice clean relaxing spot. We will likely be returning. A bence at the riverside would be nice just to relax and a fan to circulate the air on hot days.
