Easily able to host family and/or friends in this cozy, super comfortable winterized cottage. Lots of amenities and room for sitting around the wood stove or the long dining room table. Super supplied kitchen for cooking elaborate meals or simple lunches.

Fantastic lake access with kayaks and paddleboards

Spacious cottage was very comfortable for our stay. Centrally ducted heat pump was very nice. Large wrap around deck and long dock were great for enjoying the bit of sun we got this week. Be prepared to drive slow getting to the cottage, the private road is very rough.

Thanks Sam The gravel road leading to the cottage has some potholes but is easily navigated when driving slowly. It’s used by over 100 homeowners daily.

Beautiful Cottage

The cottage was lovely and super clean. I fell in love with the kitchen. Views of the lake and fall foliage from every window. We had some great walks in the woods, it was so relaxing. I loved seeing the lights from the dock at night. We'll definitely be back.

That Perfect Lakefront Getaway

We had such an amazing time at this place. Definitely a little piece of paradise nestled in the woods right on the Falls Lake. Far exceeded our expectations and the owner David is awesome. So responsive and made sure before checking in the we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions. The home is turn-key, so all you really need to bring is yourselves, clothing and any food items you want. Other than that it is fully stocked. We are definitely looking forward to coming back in the summertime to take advantage of the beautiful lake that the home sits directly on. This is a must do if you’re looking for the perfect getaway to relax by yourself or with the family.

Bachelorette Weekend

David was an amazing host! He called me the morning we were set to check in and walked me through the whole cottage. He was also easy to contact throughout our stay (we have an issue with the alarm system), and gave great recommendations for local outings. We went to Bent Ridge due to his recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed the food (and his 15% discount)! Even though the weather was rather gloomy we made the most of it and had a great time swimming, canoeing and drinking our morning coffees on the dock. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Getaway

We spent 2 weeks at the cottage. Week 1 my wife and I were still in "work from home" mode - wifi was excellent and allowed both of us to work online (email, etc.) with no issues, week 2 was a full vacation; kayaks and canoe were used quite often and the docks are great to swim off of as well. The cottage was very well equipped and quite comfortable. Our two week stay went by in a blur and we will be looking to book there again in the future.

Puppy pickup and mini-holiday

We came to Nova Scotia from Ontario to pick up a puppy I had reserved. I looked for a place, near the breeder, to spend a few days, to let the puppy get used to us before the long drive home. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The home is beautiful, and David was a very helpful, accommodating host. He even picked up wood and wine for us, before our arrival, since we couldn't shop because of Covid. David's home could not possibly be a disappointment.
