Relaxing lakefront retreat on Porters Lake - 30 mins to downtown Halifax!

Welcome to our beautiful piece of paradise! Located on picturesque Porters Lake - the most popular recreational/swimming lake in Nova Scotia. Come enjoy a fun family vacation and enjoy our famous East Coast hospitality. Only 8 minutes from world class surfing at Lawrencetown beach! We’re close to many ocean beaches, scenic waking/hiking trails and cozy cafes. Come relax on our sandy lakeside beach, take a tour on a kayak or paddleboard or enjoy a cold glass of local wine or beer next at the firepit.

This beautiful cozy 2 bedroom apartment is steps away from our sandy beach, cedar playground, trampoline, fire pit, dock, hammock and 175ft of lake waterfront. We have several yard games like ladder toss, ring toss, and giant Jenga. Most of past guests have spent many days of their vacation on site enjoying all that our spacious property has to offer. We’re located only 15 minutes from Dartmouth, 30 minutes from Halifax waterfront, 40 minutes to Peggy’s Cove and 35 minutes from Halifax International Airport!
