Artistic Getaway Near Halifax | King Bed, Spacious Deck & Fire Pit

Welcome to the Artbnb—an airy, art-filled retreat surrounded by nature. Located just 35 minutes from downtown Halifax and the airport, and 40 minutes from Peggy’s Cove and nearby beaches, it’s the perfect blend of creativity, comfort, and convenience.

Enjoy a peaceful backyard escape with minimal car noise and clear starry skies at night. Relax by the fire pit, fire up the BBQ, or unwind on the patio with cozy seating. Please note: there are storage units located approximately 400 feet behind the property, visible from the deck. They are currently inactive and not in regular use, so the space remains quiet and private.

Inside, the home features a fully equipped kitchen with all essentials provided, including a full-sized fridge, oven, pots and pans, and a coffee maker. Just off the kitchen, the open-concept dining area is perfect for meals and entertaining. The bright, comfortable living room includes one double pullout couch, a flat-screen TV with Netflix and Prime, and a sunny office space with a wraparound desk—great for remote work or study.

At the end of the day, retreat to the spacious master bedroom with a king-sized bed, generous closet space, a window A/C unit, and a spa-like ensuite featuring a custom shower and makeup vanity. For additional guests, two single rollaway beds are available upon request, allowing the home to comfortably sleep up to five or six.

While you'll feel tucked away in nature, the property is still close enough to the city to be accessible by taxi, Uber, or Lyft.

Please note: the basement is a separate rental unit and is not accessible to guests.

Me and my partner had an amazing time at this super sweet unit. It looks just like the pictures, check in and check out was super easy and host was very helpful. It is a little drive from downtown and shopping centre but we didn’t mind. It was nice, clean and welcoming.

Nice home that is centrally located for all the different day trips we wanted to do. Hosts were great. I couldn’t find anything on what to do at checkout time except for the time so I hope we did everything correctly

we arrived at around 8:30-9:00 and we had no troubles. we first noticed the beautiful impala ss on the side and of course we had to admire that. the house was perfectly clean when we arrived. we all picked where we wanted to sleep and we had 0 troubles. later in the night we had went out and started a nice fire and sat out there for a little bit. it was an amazing stay and id definitely recommend it to another family.

This space is well laid out for 6 people to enjoy a quiet getaway. Beautiful big back deck for enjoying the outside, large kitchen with everything you need to make any food you’d like, a BBQ as well with all the accessories. Great layout, comfortable furniture. The upstairs will be work this summer but the ensuite bathroom is a beautiful luxury. We really enjoyed ourselves. It’s a bit of a drive if you are planning to spend a lot of time in the city, but worth it for the serene and quiet atmosphere!

It was nice, I looked up specifically hot tub in my search for my partners birthday. This came up with photos of a hot tub yet there was none. I can understand closing it for the season but your ad is misleading I definitely wouldn’t have booked it but it is nice enough

Overall the house was nice. The blinds were not adequate at all.The host was not always prompt in answering questions. It was on a property that had several metal out buildings. It was a little more business than residential.

It was a cute place inside except for the pull out sofas. They were not comfortable at all especially the red sofa. Bed upstairs was hard, not for us. The outside needs some love but overall it was a cute spot.
