Fisherman’s Cottage

Overlooking the Petit de Grat Harbour with beach & wharf access, this 200 yr old historic Acadian home maintains it’s rustic charm taking you back to simpler times, with a modern twist. Only 20 min fr the 104 on the Cabot trail route, enjoy the hot tub with a an ocean view, kayaking, clam digging,and fish off the wharf. Includes excellent internet, BBQ ,washer- dryer,linens and most condiments!



This home, once belonging to my grand mother , is nestled around other fishing homes and overlooks the Petit de Grat Harbour. One bedroom is located on the main floor with 3 bedrooms located on the TOP floor. Sleeps 9 ( there’s a cot on site for the 9th) :two queen, one double , 2 single beds. (The stairs to the 3 rooms on the 2nd floor are quite steep. Please ensure you check out the associated photos!) Walk to the library. Enjoy the view. Read a book. Relax.



This is a very RUSTIC traditional Acadian home, with many items , paintings and TACKY trinkets that once belonged to my grand mother. Other then the leather sofas and internet, there is nothing modern about our cottage. The floors are ORIGINAL ,  a combination of tiles  and linoleum. The bathroom is pink and dated! The towels are great but don’t match. However, as others have found, you’ll no doubt discover lots of hidden charm, memories, and things that possibly remind you of your own  grand parent's home! And the view is priceless. 



Renting our cottage includes the following :



6 person hot tub (please be aware of our hot tub rules), 3 adult kayaks, 1 adult fishing kayak, Life jackets (We do not guarantee right sizes. Guests must wear when on the water. We have 2 adult small and 2 adult medium. Please bring your own if possible)



The back deck , equipped with a BBQ, table/seating, & patio furniture,  overlooks the harbour.
Enter the home whenever it’s convenient using the lock box key. Oftentimes it’s simply unlocked. As we are often in the area, there will always be someone nearby if you require immediate assistance.
The stairs leading up to the other 5 beds (queen, 2 double, 2 singe, cot) are steep. We suggest anyone with mobility issues stay on the main floor.



The place has superb wifi, a loaded fire stick and a 55 inch 4K smart tv for those not so nice days, where a blanket, Netflixs and a beverage of choice warms the heart and soul.



Please review our waiver and hot tub rules and regulations.  We reserve the right to charge for a damaged hot tub and-or add an additional 100$ if the hot tub needs to be drained and refilled due to dirt and sediment accumulation. If the following evenings guests cancel due to our inability to provide a hot hot tub, because of a need to be drained and refilled , we reserve the right to pass this lost income onto you. This has only happened when people run from the hot tub, down off the wharf, and back again.  



There is a park model at the bottom of the property . It is occasionally rented  to 2 max guests. It doesn't affect the privacy of the home.  



From November to December, we offer a vintage Christmas experience. Come spend Christmas in a 200 year old home decorated like the 70s!

The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Oh did we love this spot! Amazing sunrises and sunsets. Kayaking. Nice spot on the dock to enjoy a coffee. Hot tub (which we used multiple times). Not to mention the family cottage vibes that reminded me of our old Northern Ontario family camp that I spent summers at as a child. I would love to return with family one day and enjoy some more time there. The location is wonderful. The space was very clean and the beds were so comfy! Thank you to the hosts for offering such a stunning spot.

Small well-furnished house on a truly beautiful harbor. There is a large deck overlooking the harbor with comfortable furniture for lounging and dining. The house provides several kayaks and a wharf for water access. The surrounding community of Petit de Grat is a lively and friendly place.

Host is very friendly and communicative. Property and cottage are great. Very relaxing but at the same time there is lots to do nearby. Make sure to initiate conversations with the locals as they are some of the nicest, funniest and warmest people you will ever meet.

Great Stay

We stayed for the long weekend with our adult children and their spouse (6 of us). Fisherman's Cottage was perfect for us. There was lots of room for everyone, and what a view!! The kitchen was well equipped and let us prepare a celebration meal. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub. What a treat!! We would visit again.
