Nice home in a really great location to discover the Annapolis Valley. Linda was very helpful in keeping us updated when a power outage occurred, even offering that we spend time at her place if the power didn’t resume at the expected time. The view of the water was lovely from the yard but it should be noted that it’s not a beach combing type beach if that’s what you are looking for. The deck wasn’t functional but you could still make your way to the beach during low tide if you really wanted to. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. All in all, we had a very nice stay.

Relaxing stay at Lake House

We stayed here with our three kids, 18, 14 and 11. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy plus lots of family space too. Very quiet road but still close to all the amenities that Wolfville and Port Williams have to offer, not to mention wineries, cideries, antique stores and fun adventures to be had. Will definitely be looking to stay here again when we are next in the area.

Tranquility on the Bay of Fundy

Tide House was perfect for our friends gathering with four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open style main space. Comfy beds, oodles of privacy, and access to amazing landscapes/food/wine in Annapolis Valley. Short trips to restaurants and markets in the area, and easy day trips to Lunenburg, Mahone Bay or Halifax (1 hr away). Highly recommend this for 4-8 adults or 2 families with littles. Thank you to host Linda H.

Tide House is a great place to relax

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tide House. The cottage was comfortable, clean and the kitchen well equipped. The property was equally inviting. We enjoyed morning coffees on the spacious deck and the gorgeous view of the Bay. Our children enjoyed beachcombing at low tide and the bonfire at night. We look forward to coming back here in the future! Holly and John

Well equipped and beautiful!

Lovely location and house was very clean and as advertised. Access to the water front was via a ladder so those with mobility issues may not be able to handle. The garden was lovely and the bird song a delight! The house was well stocked with all the basics, much more so than many other places! Highly recommend!

It was great!

We spent a week here in July. The house was extremely clean and it was very quiet. The kitchen was well equipped with quality cookware and utensils. We enjoyed seeing eagles fly over the backyard as well as a hummingbird that showed up most evenings. Watching the tide in the Bay of Fundy was most interesting. After a brief, but heavy, shower one afternoon we were happy to see one of the most beautiful rainbows ever! I have a photo of it stretching all the way across the backyard over the Bay. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely location, some things not as described though

This house was in a lovely secluded location, with great access to Wolfville and the Valley. There were some things missing from the listing - the hot tub, toys for the younger kids and a pack and play. Linda arranged for a pack and play to be dropped off along with some toys suitable for our 2 yr old. Some bedding and towels were torn, the dock was no longer accessible; the house is obviously well loved but starting to show its age in places. We notice some areas had not been cleaned when we arrived.

Nova Scotia vacation

The property was ideal for our stay. Away from touristy areas but close enough for day trips there. The property is very clean, comfortable and well decorated. Beautiful views. There are several wineries, breweries an good restaurants in the area without having a lineup to get in. To clear up one of the reviews about the waterfront and if one could fish or swim at the property, the high tides increase or decrease as days go by. For the first few days we got to the property, the high tide had the water edge about 30' from the dock and swimming or fishing would not be suitable although at the end of the road local residents fish every day at high tide for striped bass. Latter in the week I was surprised that high tide brought the water right to the dock and 2 properties away kids were swimming and the father was fishing. There are beaches within 10 minutes which is where we decided to swim. Thanks Anne and Rachel for the nice stay on our vacation.

fabulous location but too close to neighbours

The house is well appointed with amazing views. It wasn't very clean but passable. Four of us stayed in the house and we were visiting relatives who live nearby. We had a bbq in the garden with the family and apparently this upset the neighbours. The host told us she left a note telling us no fires but we didn't find it. We had a fire I the firepit the first night as this was within local regulations - our family know the regs. The neighbours complained about this. On the last day we left very early but my son and stepson stayed on to clean the house and leave everything in good order. The host turned all the power off a little before the check out time which wasn't helpful at all. Overall a good place to stay if you are not planning a get together!

We had a great time at the Tide House!

We loved our stay at the Tide House. We arrived at the house very late on our arrival day, so waking up in the morning was such a surprise to see right out the windows such a remarkable view of water. The house was great, everything we could have asked for and more. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, etc that we needed. The beds and pillows were very comfortable (we had the best sleep at this house due to those beds/pillows), and the rooms were decorated so well. We didn’t use the TV, but I’m sure younger kids would have liked it. My older kids would have loved having internet. We were greeted by Anne (not the owner) who gave us a great history lesson of the area, as well as wonderful suggestions of what to do and see. She truly made herself available to us for anything we needed. Unfortunately, we were only at the house for 3 full days. I’d love to stay here a full week and see more of the area. We were able to see Hall’s Harbor, where we took pictures at 3 different times during the day as the tide was completely out to the last picture of the boats (who were on dry land in the first picture) were floating even with the docks. What an amazing experience to see such movement and power from the sea. The "Look Off" on Scotts Bay Road in Canning gives you a wonderful view of the Annapolis Valley, very beautiful. Right across the street from the Look Off is a little hole in the wall ice cream shop, a must! They don’t skimp on the ice cream that’s for sure! The Chowder at the Port restaurant, was very yummy as were the scallops! We had a fun time wine tasting at Planters Ridge, very friendly people and the deck there gave a very nice view. We brought home a couple of bottles of wine from there. Fun times playing cards at night around the kitchen table with the family, making lot of memories together! I'd recommend this house to anyone traveling in this area. Anne was very friendly and easy to work with. Thank you for sharing your home Anne. Pam - Encinitas, CA

Impressionnantes marées

Bel endroit très tranquille! Parfait pour profiter de la vue sur le bassin et ses impressionnantes marées hautes et basses! La plage devant le chalet n’est pas facilement accessible pour tout le monde…. Pour la baignade c’est préférable d’aller à la plage publique à Kingsport… Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la gentillesse et l’aide de Linda lors de notre arrivée en Nouvelle Ecosse
