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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.
