The owner should complete more preventative maintenance so guests do not have issues. Better cooling system in the upstairs bedrooms would be beneficial as it can get very hot even with fans.We enjoyed being near the water.

Older property with character. A bit quirky. Comfy beds and nice sheets etc. Good parking. Very clean. Modern appliances. Couldn't see how to access the 'beach'. A bit of TLC ..Fly screens, windows, doors could do with repair. Toilet flush flap not closing every time

The house was in a great location. However the 6 of us feel that the house should have been cleaner than it was, the air conditioning did not work and there when I wrote the owners to inform them that the air was not working I received no response

We enjoyed our stay at the apple orchard cottage. The house was spacious and had lots of character. Natasha was quick to respond to any questions I had. Only comment as others have mentioned was that we did find it hot upstairs while sleeping. Thankfully Natasha has a big standing fan in each room which helped somewhat. The location was fantastic being just a short drive into Lunenburg and other south shore locations including the Lahave ferry to enjoy the shops and bakery there. We also enjoyed watching the deer roam the property at their leisure.

Perfectly peaceful spot

This house in Apple Orchard Lane is spacious and well equipped. We saw the sun rise over the water each morning which was just magical and we enjoyed seeing lots of birds and deer in the garden. Lunenburg is a fantastic town to visit, so picturesque and accessible. Everyone we met was pleasant and polite and so very helpful. Great holiday all round. .

Favorite location on the south shore!

This is our second stay here and we loved it again! Corkums Island is so quiet and peaceful, while still being close to everything you'd need in Lunenburg. The cottage has everything you need. Bedrooms are big (and there are really 4, the extra one is small but very usable), it's dog friendly and the heat pump makes a huge difference. It's not an Instagram star or anything, but it feels lived in and cozy in a way that the black-metal Ikea-filled places can't match.
