I was happy with the booking. The proprietor was communicative. The property was clean and quite charming. I was at a conference the whole time and had little chance to see the area, but the few glimpses I caught were beautiful. NB - There is a gas stove and my partner left the burner on, which could have been bad - so make sure you turn the burner off!

It was just as we expected and what we wanted—-a quiet remote place—-with more birds than people! We were so lucky with the weather too….water out front and a lovely breeze most of the time. We brought food in and enjoyed fresh fish and relaxing times. We slept well with nearly all the windows open for the night air. The tide came in and we kayaked a little out front. Super quaint place to stay. Thank you so much Marcie for the hospitality—-including eggs and veggies! P.S. we left “Flat Butchie”, my adventurous brother who passed a few years back—-he loved Nova Scotia and would have liked that place—so he stayed in the front room
A magical, very secluded little cottage in the middle of nowhere for a very private stay for a small family. It's the cutest old cottage house, super cozy, right next to calm water.
It's a small house, so everything is small. The kitchen, the bathroom, the bedrooms, the living room. It's also old. I love it because it's part of the charm, so for me it's a plus and certainly not criticism. Also part of the charm is that most appliances and furniture are old as well. So keep this in mind, the beds aren't that big and are old. Be ready for it. But I'm adamant that it's definitely part of the charm and I wouldn't change it.
There's a lot included : most appliances, including fridge, stove, coffee machine, toaster, everything you need to cook. Towels, soap, shampoo are provided. There was even fresh eggs and blueberries waiting for us when we arrived.
Lots of activities to do around. You can you the kayaks that are available with safety vests. There is a very private and beautiful beach at 5 minutes by car, with barely anyone using it, and the water was surprisingly warm.
Note that since its quite secluded, there isn't much stores or restaurants around, and you'll have to drive 30 minutes away to find places where to buy stuff.
I definitely recommend and would rent again any time. I wish I had stayed longer.
This is a lovely getaway. We really appreciated the various thoughtful touches. We found the strongly scented products used set off our allergies quite badly. Perhaps unscented products in the future. A wonderful place. We hope to return!!
