Perfect Location

If you plan on staying in the Halifax area I highly recommend this place. It's a perfect distance to Peggy's Cove, Halifax and Bayer's Lake. We even took a trip to Luneburg.

We stayed here as two families of 4. Four adults and four kids ages 12-16. Eight of us total. We really enjoyed our visit. It had everything we needed for the few days that we stayed. The property pictures and description were accurate. It was very clean, comfortable and having kayaks was a great addition. The area and view was very serene and relaxing. Our host was very responsive and had good typical operating instructions for us. Checking in and out was seamless. We would absolutely stay again.
