My son and I had a great stay at Peter's comfy cottage nestled on Heckman's Island. The cottage provided a fantastic base for our travels to locations throughout Nova Scotia. The cottage is clean, has a well appointed kitchen, 2 comfortable beds, good pillows and there was plenty of room for us to spread out. Maybe the best part? The INCREDIBLE VIEWS of the inlet/cove!! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Thanks for a beautiful review Ali, you were a 10 star guest! You’re welcome back anytime
Not only were our sunsets spectacular, but the birds and animals provided a lot of entertainment: deer, porcupines, herons (always at battle!), osprey, cormorants and even hummingbirds. We were guaranteed a deer at the roadside every evening upon our return to the cottage.
This was the first time we were able to actually sit and watch the tide come in after studying the tidal charts. When you're from a fresh-water province, the tide is quite an oddity.
Kayaking topped the list. There were so many inlets to explore and fellow boaters offered friendly waves. There were even 2 powerful rowers going by in a dory.
Being 10 minutes away from Lunenburg gave us the perfect opportunity to hop into town for shopping and dining. Then, of course, the 20 minute drive to Mahone Bay was a must. We ventured as far as Windsor (1 hr) to Bent Ridge Winery for an excellent lunch, set in a picturesque valley, and offered PYO fruit.
We'd go back in a snap, but fly instead; the drive from Ontario was rather wicked.
