Wonderful little spot. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed and more. The dogs were loving their best lives and our 17 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed it too. All in all it was amazing.

Great cottage on the water, perfect for a family getaway. Lee was a perfect host, responsive and helpful and the property was perfect for us to see family in Pictou County. Well stocked with all the amenities including great wifi and beach toys for the granddaughter. Highly recommend!

Our week-long stay here was so quiet, private and fabulous. We didn't want to leave! The cottage was spotless and within 20 minutes of Pictou, New Glasgow AND Melmerby Beach. I would highly recommend this cottage.

The cottage was wonderful with everything we needed. The location was superb with access to water and wonderful views. We felt comfortable the minute we walked thru the door. The hosts did an excellent job of making us feel welcome in their home.We definitely will return.

This place was so perfect for us and the dogs. It had everything we need and absolutely private. Lee had even allowed us to switch dates to stay a day earlier because we didn’t realize the dates were wrong until we arrived! Excellent host indeed!

Happy holiday

We had a great stay at the cottage. We loved the long walks on the beach and beach combing. The water was shallow and warm. The location was very quiet and private- had the beach to ourselves the whole time. Easy run to Pictou, New Glasgow, Melmerby Beach and Caribou-Monroes Island. The cottage itself is lovely and well stocked. Air conditioning is great!

Amazing location!

Cottage was spotless, roomy, comfy beds, well-equipped, with thoughtful touches. But the best part was the secluded beach, which we had all to ourselves. It was a great beach for walking, paddle boarding, and metal detecting (water shoes are an absolute must...lots of oyster shells.) Secluded, yet shopping and restaurants are close by. I would highly recommend it for couples or families. Very pleased. Hosts are wonderful.

Beautiful

This house is absolutely beautiful. Super secluded. An excellent place to escape from everything. My dog and I enjoyed walking along the shore and barely seeing another soul the entire time we were here. The only drawback was the water didn't look very enticing. The shore had a lot of dead mollusks and rocks and we didn't have water shoes so we never ventured into the water. But the walks were lovely! And the house is absolutely gorgeous. It has everything you could possibly think of needing AND more!
