Great cottage with all the amenities. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable to stay there. We were able to sit outside on warm evenings and in the morning before breakfast on the deck and sit in the very comfortable lounge. We would come again to stay!

Perfect stay in a lovely house

The Little House was the perfect choice for the four of us. Not just well-equipped, but everything, from kitchen tools to reading glasses for puzzling, has been considered by the host and is exactly the way it should be. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Fantastic Stay

Everything about this stay was amazing. The communication with Shelley was great, check in/out was super easy, and the home itself is fabulous. The cottage was spotless, everything you could possibly need was provided, and the location is lovely. Absolutely no issues our entire stay and I look forward to returning!

Perfect family retreat

Our family vacation here was perfect. The home is so cozy, not too big and not too small. The location is great, only 30 minutes from downtown Halifax, but secluded enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Our daughter loved playing in the big backyard, the Trellis Cafe was a great spot to grab a coffee, and The Shore Club for Mother’s Day dinner was phenomenal.Make sure to go to the local farmers market on Saturday’s!
