It was what we expected for an old house. It was hard to have the house stay at a temp above 20 but other then that it was great. Hosts privided a well stocked house including some snacks. Lots of variety in hand soaps and shampoos and was the best stocked kitchen in a home away from home that we have ever stayed.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026

Thank you for staying with us and for your feedback. We will take a close look at the heating system and make sure it is working properly for the next guest. All the best, Dara and Shelley

About the host

Hosted by Shelley Bowser

Host profile image
Dara and Shelley love the work of bringing these ancestral properties back to vibrancy and sharing their love for this place with anyone who will make the trip to experience how special it is.

Why they chose this property

This home is one of a cluster of homes arising from the first settlers in this location. William Canning and Caroline Canning settled here in the late 1700's.
The host Dara Bowser is a descendent of the Slater/Canning/Hatfield family and spent much of his childhood exploring the local woods and beaches.
After a business career in Ontario, Dara and his wife Shelley have returned home to enjoy their retirement.

What makes this property unique

Slater House is a Century Home, an example of Nova Scotia Residential Architecture constructed from the early 1800's until the mid 1900's. The home has features that are typical for these homes including staged construction and 'ships ladder' stairs.
This property is ideally situated as a home base to explore this spectacular region and the many "must see" museums, Geo-Sites and just plain spectacular views everywhere you look.
Several local tour operators offer guided walking, hiking, boating and kayaking adventures.
The home overlooks the Bay of Fundy and a 5 minute walk takes you to never ending pristine beaches that reveal the ocean floor every day, twice a day.
Spectacular sun rises and sunsets. Makes for great picture taking.
