Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Melissa Bishop
Andrew and I have lived in Nova Scotia our entire lives we are a young professional family with a love for sailing and the outdoors. We have sailed on the South Shore for over 10 yrs and had been keeping an eye open for the perfect family and sailboat friendly property not too far from our home in the Annapolis Valley. We purchased the property in the summer of 2015 and started welcoming guests in 2016. The rest is history.
Why they chose this property
This property is very close to the main highway yet its in a private wooded area directly on the oceanfront. We liked that were are close to everything we need yet we are 'away from it all'
What makes this property unique
Three Sheeps to the Wind Cottage Rental got it's name because its located beside a private hobby sheep farm which our children enjoy. This Nova Scotia Cottage Rental is unique because its in a protected basin so we can canoe and swim right in front of the property. There is a restaurant and drugstore that you can canoe to, how cool is that?
