Guest Reviews:

- "Our fourth year here and it does not disappoint! Beach is beautiful and and easy access to day trips to PEI or Cape Breton is the weather is not cooperating. Jacqueline had the place spotless for our arrival and JB the caretaker and his life partner Kate are true gems! Highly recommend this location!" - "Stunning views both sunrise and sunset and everywhere in between. The cottage was completely functional, had great breeze off the water and cozy. We had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Initially we booked for one week and jumped at the chance for the second week! 14 days was not enough time to relax and unwind and take in the breeze off the water! Wonderful spot!"

Guest Reviews:

- "Absolutely beautiful property and amazing hosts. Jane and Ernie are incredible people, and as much as it was a joy being at this remarkable place it was just magnified by the the wonderful hospitality and warmth that Jane and Ernie provided to our whole family. We will be back!" - "The old saw "Location, location, location" is only partially correct for this experience. A week with Jane, Ernie and son John is a learning experience and the beginning (we hope) of a long friendship. We now understand more about oysters, farming them, and shucking them than we could have possibly learned through Google, etc. The partially correct part is nothing short of fantastic in itself. Of course, no visit to this spot could be complete without a very short trip to Cribbins point to catch the "Fisherman Crossing" lobster boat as she arrives, and snagging a couple for supper, and if one loves chocolate, "Peace by Chocolate" is a prerequisite. Thank you, Porters!!"

Guest Reviews:

- "The cabins are so beautiful and clean, that was my initial reaction when we walked into the cabin for our 3 day stay! The view of the water was so pretty and we saw lots of wildlife as well. The owner was so nice and friendly and we are already planning our next trip!" - "What a cute spot. The cabins were very nice, the view was nice too bad there was some trees blocking it. The owner is wonderful always smiling and saying hello. It’s 15mins from town and a 5 min car ride to the beach. I would definitely go back."

Guest Reviews:

- "2nd time here, great location, beautiful view. Great host, Highly recommend it as a stay " - "The setting is lovely, and the distillery next door is a highlight — great drinks and welcoming staff. The cabin shows signs of some recent updates, but overall it feels a bit tired and neglected. While the layout is fine, the beds were too soft for our liking, and the towels were thin and well past their prime. There’s a strong floral scent in the bedrooms that felt more like covering something up than creating a relaxing atmosphere. The kitchen was missing a few essentials, and though it had the basics, it didn’t feel thoughtfully stocked. The bathroom has no fan, which made it feel damp and stuffy. A couple of unwelcome cockroaches showed up in the kitchen on our last day. The hot tub cover has seen better days, and the general impression was that the place could use a deeper level of attention and upkeep. Also worth noting: the owner doesn’t provide keys, as nothing is locked — fine for us since we stayed put, but something to consider if you plan to leave during your stay."

Guest Reviews:

- "We used the house as our home base as we travelled all over Nova Scotia - spending WAY too many hours in the car. Finally decided to take advantage of the view and the beach on our last full day. We were alone on the beach for most of the day - except for seabirds and the bald eagle who visited every day. Oh - and the neighbor and her dogs, Shultz and Fritz. The stars were spectacular at night. Home is well-outfitted for cooking with everything we needed. The fire pit was a fun place to gather at the end of the day. Highly recommend if you are staying near the north shore - a bit out of the way for other travels, such as Cape Breton and Bay of Fundy."

Guest Reviews:

- "The cottage generally met our needs. We prefer having the bathroom on same floor as the bedrooms. The kitchen is a little disorganized and we were surprised by the various foods in the cupboards and fridge. The place looked very lived in." - "This property is definitely not senior or kid friendly with that steep staircase. We had my 90 year old mother with us and I was terrified when she got up to use the bathroom that she would fall down the stairs. Very annoying that the bedrooms were upstairs and the bathroom downstairs. Should have a more in-depth description of the layout. Also, we were very uncomfortable with the amount of food someone left in the fridge, not to mention personal toiletries left around. We were not aware until we got there that the water was not drinkable, therefore quite surprised when there was less than a quarter amount in the water cooler. What was out of anyone’s control was the fact that we had no power when we returned from the wedding and was still out when we got up. Therefore we did not get any use from the cottage on Sunday and were gone by 8 am. So we tried to clean up as much as possible, not easy without power."

It is now a cute country home with a sunny deck and views to surrounding countryside. Eating at the kitchen table, you have southerly view to watch the sky, sun and clouds pass behind the trees and a church spire. Being close to the sea, there is often a breeze blowing through and laundry dries quickly, flapping on the line. Recently insulated throughout and with baseboard heating, it is a comfortable 3 season house.

Guest access
The whole house and yard is yours to use during your stay. Our plot is limited by the rows of trees on either side. Please do not use the large grass area to the right of the house - this belongs to the neighbour. Otherwise, plenty of space to find sun or shade, indoors or out. Help yourself to any herbs in the garden (Mint, thyme, oregano and chives can be found). Parking is available on the driveways either side of the house.

Other things to note
With no TV and no Wi-Fi, time to enjoy each other’s company or a good book. The kitchen is fully equipped (but no dishwasher), so you can even bake cakes and cookies on rainy days if you want to!

Laundry and washing-up liquids are supplied, as are bags for garbage and recycling (check the folder for details). Extra bedding is available if the weather turns cooler.

Private Hot Tub River Retreat
Cottage
River John

The “Kenzie B” cottage is a newly built cottage with unique features throughout like a sliding steel barn door, a steel shower and old barn beams along the ceiling. The covered veranda off the front of the cottage provides you with stunning views of the tidal river and a private hot tub overlooks the river as well. Swim, boat, float, whatever you wish, the river awaits! We also have a motorized floating picnic table for rent if you'd like to explore the river some more.

The space
The “Kenzie B” cottage has a newly finished modern/rustic vibe. Freshly built this cottage looks and feels (well it is) brand new while accents like the old barn beams on the ceiling, pine interior walls, red sliding barn door, and the steel shower give it unique character and ambiance. This cottage is perfectly set up for one or two guests to enjoy. While there is plenty of space to set up a play pen or crib if you did have a little one. Off the front of the cottage is a covered veranda where you can take in the views of the river whatever the weather. Along the side of the cottage is a private hot tub to soak in. A private out door fire pit and firewood is included with this cottage, and a short walk to the end of the property is a shared dock and sauna.

Guest access
Guest will have access to the whole cottage with private parking, private lawn and outdoor fire pit.

Other things to note
Garbage is every two weeks. Guests must recycle and compost for garbage pick up. Garbage can and compost are located across the street from the driveway.
We ask that all sand be washed off on the outside tap or removed before showers because it can clog P traps in the drain.
There are four concrete blocks surrounding the entrance to the well which is very close to the driveway, there is a stick in the middle to prevent hitting so you know exactly where it’s at. This is a quiet, tightknit neighborhood, not a place for partying. Of course, socialization is permitted, we just ask that you be respectful of our neighbours and have things relatively quiet by a respectful time, 11 PM.

Beautiful Beachfront Privacy
Cottage
Caribou Island

Private cottage with the right amount of quiet yet close enough to get an ice cream for the kids, buy groceries, enjoy a great meal at the Pictou Lodge, or take you in fifteen minutes to the Prince Edward Island ferry - not to mention a nearby lobster pound open all season long! If 'privacy' is your motivation, the sunset views of the beach from the porch or front lawn will keep you captivated, and the library's full complement of literary classics and mythology are yours for the reading.

The space
Whether you are an avid reader or a family with young children - or both - the cottage with the 'Million Dollar' view will not disappoint. Filled with a wide-range of novels, reference, philosophy, and other classics, a rainy day or perfect beach day can both be accompanied with good reading. For the children, a range of beach toys and board games are available. Beach chairs as well as a paddle board are at your beach disposal. I want you to have a safe stay, so please use the provided life jacket with the paddle board.

The beach is unique in that the water is warmer than other coastal areas because of the tide. When the tide recedes, the sun warms the tidal flats. As the water returns, the 'warm' tidal flats transfer their heat to the incoming tide. Tidal pools are especially warm, and are a treat for children to collect shells, crabs, perhaps a starfish - bring your wetsuit if you think it will be too chilly!

Guest access
The whole cottage is available.

Luxurious cottage with sauna, fireplace and wharf
Cottage
Antigonish County

Enjoy the quiet location and luxurious amenities:

- fully equipped kitchen
- cozy living room with spacious dining area
- three bedrooms (four beds)
- fireplace and sauna
- direct waterfront location with a wharf and kayak use
- covered, mosquito-proof barbecue and dining area
- freshly renovated and partly modernized in January 2022

The space
Deceleration, relaxation and recreation

Sit back and enjoy the cedar-clad, quintessential Canadian cottage right on the water and absolute tranquility.
Lie on one of the sun loungers and enjoy the view of the inlet and nature from the balcony terrace. If you want to sit even closer to the water, head down to the cottage's own wharf and make yourself comfortable on one of the typical Canadian wooden chairs. In the mood for some exercise? At the boathouse you will find a canoe, two single kayaks, a double kayak and life jackets.
Afterwards, treat yourself to something tasty from the grill. This is located on the upper floor in a so-called "Screenporch". This is a covered outdoor area, which was completely sealed with mosquito netting, so that you have -even after sunset- peace from small pests.

The weather doesn't play along or it's just too cold to stay outside longer?
An outside staircase leads to the main entrance of the house. After taking off your shoes and jackets, you'll enter a great room, which features a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious dining area with seating for 6, and a cozy living room.
Light the fireplace and enjoy the quick and cozy warmth, as well as the fantastic view through the large panoramic windows.
Behind the living/dining area are two bedrooms (a master bedroom and a room with two single beds) and a bathroom with shower tub.
As part of the modernization work, the master bedroom received a new king-size bed and a new mattress.
(current pictures in August' 22)

Via a staircase at the kitchen you reach the ground floor. There you first enter our lovingly named "cinema room". If you don't like the smaller TV set in the living room, you will find it here; a huge TV and a surround system provide real movie enjoyment; a leather couch for coziness.
Furthermore, the third bedroom with a queen-size bed and new mattress and another bathroom with shower are located on this floor.
A washer and dryer are also available for use on the ground floor.
You are still not really warm? Then use the sauna, also on the ground floor of the house. Also in the sauna and the adjoining small relaxation room, the views of the estuary through the built-in panoramic windows are a delight.

The house, built in 2006, is situated in a secluded location in the middle of nature and yet so central that you can reach the nearest town of Antigonish in 10-15 minutes by car.

We would be happy to welcome you and your family in our house.

PS: In the house is a high chair for a toddler available. Please let our dear Paula know briefly if you need it.

The Beach House
Cottage
Pictou County

Welcome to The Beach House where you will find a fully renovated old farmhouse that is only 400m from a sandy beach on the Northumberland Straight and just 10 minutes to town for everything you need!

The space
We just purchased and renovated this beautiful old farmhouse on the shores of the Northumberland Straight where the water reaches 22 degrees in the summer and is even warmer when the tide is low. We are 400m from the beach and have lots of privacy. If you're looking for cottage life with city amenities then this is the place for you!

Inside you will find 5 bedrooms with beds for 10 people. The master bedroom is on the main floor and has a king sized bed. There are two bathrooms...one up and one down (note: upstairs has sloped ceilings so adults can't stand up in the tub but there is a wand). The brand new kitchen has everything you need including a dishwasher. The coffee maker is a Keurig so bring your pods. The dining room has seating for 10. The living room has lots of seating and a smart TV. And don't worry kids the Wi-Fi is great and there are lots of board games. The back hall has a workspace for anyone who needs to stay in touch with the office or you can use it as a vanity.

Outside there is a large deck with a Weber BBQ...you'll never want to use another after you've grilled on this. At the front there is a covered veranda for anyone looking for a quiet place to get away. Sit on your rocker and read a book while you have your morning coffee. There is a firepit to roast marshmallows at night. We have some lawn games and even some bikes... two adult size, two 20" and one 24". The deck is very private so while there are lots of neighbours, they aren't close by.

There are two beaches on site- one sandy and one more rocky. Both have sandbars and the waves are small so it is a great spot for young kids. We have some buckets and shovels and a beach umbrella. There are beach towels there for you as well with a clothesline for afterward.

Pets may be allowed upon request.
