This property has a lot of character. A beautifully restored farmhouse with lovely outdoor spaces. We felt right at home and everything we wanted/needed was there. The property was clean and well organized. Beds, linens, towels were top notch. The host was a great communicator, she left treats for us and went above and beyond. We’ve rented houses for 18 years and have never had an experience this positive. We would definitely return.

Beautiful property with fenced in area for our grandchildren. Patio deck with running water, chimes, night lights and comfortable seating. Very clean home with all conveniences one would want. This is a one of a kind vacation home in a beautiful country area. Very considerate hostess. We have booked for next year.

This property was outstanding!! Clean & functional. Activities and games for adults and kids. Lots of very interesting books. Kitchen was spotless with every appliance you would ever need. Very well stocked. Loved the back patio with the water feature. So soothing. Appreciated very much the goodies left for us.We were provided with lots of information with regards to activities and things to do in the area. Our host kept in touch with us right from the booking. We really appreciated that any questions we had were immediately answered. A beautiful home away from home and the best rental we have ever stayed at!

We very much enjoyed the property and the farmhouse. Comfortable, cozy, and clean. We had lots of room for all of us and all the amenities we needed along with nice extras and personal touches. The beds were comfortable. We would definitely go there again.

What a wonderful place this turned out to be for our first ever visit to Nova Scotia. Our host left a few pleasant surprises to welcome us to her farmhouse and we loved them. All our needs were met and our party of 8 felt right at home. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels for everyone (which is important when you have a large group). I highly recommend that guests take a morning walk up the road to the host family’s vineyard and take in the breathtaking views. I definitely see us staying here again should we be fortunate to return to Nova Scotia one day.

A haven

This property is a bastion of peace. I am grateful for thé warm communication from the host, Nova, the freshly baked bread and the wine, and invitation to walk the orchards next door. We stayed at a difficult time when a family member who lived nearby was passing and the beautiful stone patio and splashing fountain as well as the mountain and vineyard views were good Medicine. Overall excellent

This home is a must visit for people who love quirky older homes with loads of character. There are many modern features, but the original personality of the home remains. Our host was amazing. She communicated everything we needed to know and helpful tidbits in the leadup to our visit. She answered all our questions and anticipated our needs.The property had something for everyone in our family: amazing night sky viewing, a claw foot tub to soak, a large yard to run around, sprinklings from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock for the poet, space to spread out, to mention just a few. Our only regret was we couldn't stay longer.

Oh my gosh…the Farmhouse is so lovely!! We are a group of 8 high school friends (class of 74) enjoying each others company for our Annual girls getaway ! The Farmhouse could not have been more perfect!! Super clean for starters and had everything we could have needed in the kitchen not only small appliances but spices and cooking oils. Lots of nooks and crannies and too many personal touches to mention…it was such a welcoming space it felt like home!! Beds are comfy and lots of pillows!! Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, bath salts…everything we needed!! The weather only allowed us to enjoy the outdoor space for an afternoon but with the fire table, comfy chairs, swing, loungers, dining table and chairs, fountain and incredible view we are planning on coming back next year a few weeks later to take advantage of the outdoor space…hopefully all of the shrubs and perennials will be in full bloom!! Nova was so great and responsive to any questions we had and offered some great suggestions for things to do! We were too early for the wine train but it’s on our list for next year!! We were surprised to find Nova had left us a few yummy treats to welcome us!!! I (and the other girls) would 100% recommend the Farmhouse…I’m sure you will enjoy it every bit as much as we did!!!

Farmhouse charm and energy

Being a family that appreciates and grew up in the country, The farmhouse made us all feel very much at home away from home. It accommodated my parents on the main level with ensuite bathroom and air conditioning, nice to spoil them after all these years. The upstairs, my sister and her son had two rooms to themselves and my wife an I had a beautiful room to call our own. There are additional rooms upstairs if we ever wanted to bring more quests on our return trip, which we will definitely do. The nice claw foot tub in the upstairs bathroom was a highlight for those wanting some time to relax and decompress. Playing catch on the front lawn with my nephew and father was a great way to spend an afternoon. We even enjoy a few games of washer toss. One of the highlights for us was the beautiful patio with lots of seating and a nice breeze throughout the day while we enjoyed cold beverages and freezies. The kitchen had everything we needed to make delicious meals for everyone throughout the weekend. Nice quiet neighbourhood made for some enjoyable evening strolls along the vineyards perimeter road. The horse lover in our group (Mom) was excited to see a horse event next door, she was able to enjoy watching from the patio. If you arrive around early July there is a stunning Cherry tree with the sweetest cherries we've ever had. I am not sure how to describe how perfect this place is for a group or family, but it is. I'll leave you with this picture to showcase how relaxing it is.

We stayed in the Farmhouse for a week in June 2026, for a family reunion. The farmhouse and grounds are lovely. The house easily accommodated our group which varied between 8 and 10 adults. The house was very well equipped, in particular the kitchen had everything we needed. The large patio has a lovely waterfall, a propane fire table, and lots of chairs. There are huge maple trees shading the patio and the fenced playground with solo and interactive equipment. We walked through the family vineyards to a spot with Adirondack chairs and a lovely view of the valley. Our host Nova was very friendly, helpful and responsive, but the house was so well equipped that we hardly needed to message her. We highly recommend the property and would very happily stay there again.

Grandma’s house meets modern conveniences…We had a magical weekend at the farmhouse, and our grandchildren explored all the secret hiding places while the adults chose between the TV room, dining room, parlor, and country kitchen. Casual conversations were free flowing as a result.Each room had the charm of an 1800’s house, but was adorned with state-of-the-art functionality. Picture plank floors to remind you of the past, but having rainforest showers and double sinks. No need to suffer from antiquated amenities.If you’re curious about the attention to detail, let me tell you about the junk drawer. It’s in the kitchen, just where yours is at home. There are screwdrivers, glue, office supplies, batteries, flashlights ‘just in case’. That attention to detail abounds in every room.I’m a big fan of this place.

I am so glad your family chose the Farmhouse for your celebration. The sandbox play was one of the few signs you were there because everything was left spotless. Your family was gracious and kind and I would welcome you back anytime.
