Private & cozy basement apartment surrounded by nature

Enjoy this self-contained basement apartment, perfect for a cozy night in. A king bed awaits you in this private and comfortable space. Included in this apartment is a makeshift kitchen with all cooking essentials provided, a welcoming living room, a dedicated workspace, and a bright master bedroom, complete with a walk-in closet. This space has a private entrance. Friendly hosts are always a message away!

The Pockwock Hideaway is a basement apartment with a private entrance around the back of a two-story house. The upstairs of the house is another rental- please note, you will hear occasional noise (footsteps, toilets flushing, etc.) as the floor is non-soundproofed. Included in the space is a large master bedroom with a comfy king-sized bed & walk-in closet. Off the bedroom is a welcoming living room with a pull-out sectional couch & a flat screen TV, complete with Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Off the hallway, there is a room converted into a makeshift kitchen area with all essentials provided (toaster oven, microwave, hot plate, full-sized fridge, cutlery, etc.). Included in the room is a small table and chairs overlooking the yard. There is a small office area and a full bathroom with a deep tub- perfect for soaking. An extra mattress is available upon request for use & can be made up prior to arrival if needed. The unit also includes a washer and dryer, which are free for guest use.

Outside, there is a large driveway with room for three vehicles or more. Enjoy a starry night view away from the city lights in this quiet and nature-filled area. Take a stroll along the nearby Pockwock walking trails and waterfalls for a refreshing nature-filled experience. The outdoor fire pit, yard, deck, and other outdoor amenities are reserved for upstairs guests' use only.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

It was spacious but sadly not as clean as we would have liked it to have been, some rules were strange having to only use one electrical item at a time in the kitchen,the television instructions hadn't been updated in the book which lead to a bit of a battle with them both.

We enjoyed our stay here. The host was very responsive and easy to contact. There was lots of space and it was nice to have a kitchenette so we could do some of our own meals. It was nice to have access to a bbq and outdoor space with fire pit. We just didn't have enough time during our stay to utilize them.

Conveniently located

My friends and I had a great stay. The property was located within good proximity to Halifax Peggy's Cove and other sites we wanted to visit while being quiet away from business. The hosts were always quick to reply to any questions and requests even quickly setting up the outdoor hot tub. Thank you
