Cosy spot

Cozy and rustic spot with a nice dock on beautiful Prospect Bay. Close to many great locations for hiking near coastline but also close to Halifax for day trips on rainy days. Janice was always responsive and helpful.

Great location and water front

The place is perfectly situated and the water front is a million dollar view. The place is very cottage/cabiny so just be prepared for buggy things, spiders etc that you'd expect from any cottage in the woods. The bathroom and bathroom window are in need of updating, but it gets the job done. A lovely place with a bit of ruggedness, but all in all a great place to stay.

Great Father/Daughter get-a-way property.

This charming cottage was just right. We had trouble flying into Halifax Int'l (2 days) and the owner couldn't be more understanding. It was located near several hiking trails (we did) & close to Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. We got many pics here. I really enjoy watching the sunrise over my vacations & Prospect Bay did not disappoint. I took many pics of the sunrise too. The owner had several recommendations for the hiking trails & very good local (not to touristy) restaurants. We averaged 5mi/8km per day hiking. I would recommend "Gateway Prospect Cottage" for a return trip.
