Lake Mushamush Cottage!

Retreat into nature and soak up cottage life on Lake Mushamush! Just a short walk from Big Mushamush—one of the South Shore's largest freshwater lakes, known for its clear water, sandy beaches, and warm swimming—this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers everything you need to slow down and reconnect.

Nestled within the quaint community of cottagers on Lake Mushamush, you'll experience the charm of lakeside living with the privacy of your own space, including private parking, a spacious lawn, covered porch, BBQ, firepit, and nearby lake access.

Inside, the open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area makes it easy to gather together. The main bedroom features a queen bed and small closet, while the second bedroom includes a twin-over-double bunk bed and dresser. A well-equipped kitchen and 3-piece bathroom provide all the comforts of home.

The space is yours to enjoy, and we would recommend bringing your floaties, kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, to spend the day out on the water, or exploring nearby hiking trails and beautiful Indian Falls. While you’re relaxing in nature, you will have the peace of mind of all the conveniences of Bridgewater, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg within a 10-20 minute drive.

Whether you're gathering around the fire, enjoying your morning coffee on the porch, or spending the afternoon at the lake, we hope that The Bettina becomes a place where simple moments turn into lasting memories!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a kitchen island, and a dining table.
