We were looking for a quiet waterfront cottage and that is what we found. The area is peaceful. The pictures accurately reflect the cottage - although I’d say the main area is brighter and larger than I anticipated. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans for cooking. We stayed just after significant rainfall in the province and there was lots of standing water, thus an abundance of mosquitoes. Outdoors was not usable. Had a great meal at Wiley’s on the Wharf in Wallace, just a few minutes away, and a nice lunch at the Jost Winery, up the road.

Fantastic cottage, exactly what we wanted and expected. Host was great and easy to connect with. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were out in abundance... Otherwise it was perfect with everything we needed and more.

This place was absolutely amazing. A beautiful view. It is a perfect location to be able to go exploring all around this part of Nova Scotia. It was immaculate and I tried to leave it that way for the owners. A true piece of paradise. Thank you for letting me stay here.

The cottage was modern and the decor was beautiful. Everything was new and fresh. The kitchen was well equipped with everything one could ever need. The beds and sofas were very comfortable. The screened sunroom had a refreshing breeze. We would recommend this lovely cottage to enjoy Tatamagouche Bay.Many thanks to the host who was very helpful.

Beautiful cottage, very clean and modern. View was awesome too, but the mosquitos were horrible. They chased us from the car to the cottage and back. Other than that, it was great.

A lovely cottage, made for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the great communication. The only issue was the mosquitoes, a bug spray is a must.
