"Our group included three young people (ages 18-22) and all of us were incredibly impressed with the lodging itself - a whole charming house - and especially with the location, near the lovely town of Antigonish and very near to a fantastic 4 km long beach (Pomquet Beach) with seals, fir trees, spectacular sunsets, etc. We went in January - not a time in Nova Scotia for the timid - and the house was warm and cozy and the host had the driveway plowed for us as soon as we asked. The house itself...

"We just returned from a week's stay at this place. It really is peaceful and relaxing. It was in a perfect location, close to family. Everything we needed was available. Martin and family are wonderful people. We will definitely return again. Thanks for a fantastic holidy."

"Great stay. Beautiful view of the ocean. Peaceful!"

"The house is, technically, as described but there are a few design issues that made it hard to use. The ladder, which is needed to access the loft, blocks the bathroom door. So if you have it in place for climbing, it has to be moved to open the loo door, then moved back to climb back up again. We have stayed in tiny houses before and found them easier to maneuver around. Which would be fine but at this price it should be somewhat more comfy. Caveat Emptor"

"The house is clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated with lots of space. All amenities were available. The hot tub was clean and enjoyable, with a view of the ocean. Large windows and patio for great ocean views. Quiet location that offered scenic drives and was central to other day trips in the area. "

"Perfect place for two couples to relax and enjoy the beautiful harbour! John and Kathryn have thought of everything that you need for a comfortable stay. We loved watching the eagles and other birds from the deck or from the cozy window seat overlooking the water! We would definitely love to visit again!"

"This property suited our needs perfectly , lovely place "

"Beautiful house, suitable for multi-generational families lovely views and beautiful sunsets. Beach access a bit challenging. Deck large with comfortable chairs. Friendly kitchen and large dining area great for family togetherness. "

"We had a great stay at the cottage! Beautiful sunsets and hosts were very responsive and helpful. "

"The house was amazing! Very modern and state of the art but extremely comfortable. Immaculately clean. The water views and sunsets were incredible. Hosts were very attentive to questions. The only downside, there were six adults and the hot water didn’t last beyond two showers."

"I can’t say enough about this property and the owners. Hugh was most accommodating and the property is very well appointed and very comfortable. If you want a quiet relaxing place to get away. This is it! "

"This was one of our best vacations. We love to be by ourselves. The Rv is on its own big property connected to a wonderful beach. With two bedrooms, two bads, kitchen und seating area, the trailer has everything you need. A big deck and a hottub, which we really enjoyed. Pots, pans, airfryer, toaster, coffee maker and a huge fridge with freezer. Because the next shopping option is in Antigonish ( 30 min) away. I recommend that if you come like us with the pkane, to stop at the grocery store...

"What a great place to stay! Would highly recommend. Comes with kitchenette and few items for cooking/eating without having to lug everything yourself! Things were clean and comfortable. Basketball net outside kept the kids entertained. Self check in was easy (once I knew that was the plan!) and all questions were quickly answered! Go by the phone number inside the reception area not the one on the door though! "

Better than we even expected - a slice of heaven in Nova Scotia.

"Our group included three young people (ages 18-22) and all of us were incredibly impressed with the lodging itself - a whole charming house - and especially with the location, near the lovely town of Antigonish and very near to a fantastic 4 km long beach (Pomquet Beach) with seals, fir trees, spectacular sunsets, etc. We went in January - not a time in Nova Scotia for the timid - and the house was warm and cozy and the host had the driveway plowed for us as soon as we asked. The house itself sits across from a beautiful body of water and we spent a great deal of time on the porch just taking it all in. The host was extra kind, thoughtful, and communicative. We cannot wait to go back!"
