Wonderful spot to stay.
Karen and Neil have created a lovely guest house — a very sympathetic renovation of a heritage family home. Everything was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We especially appreciated that one of the bedrooms was on the main floor since my cousin had injured his knee and found stairs painful. We had a great time exploring southern Nova Scotia from our home base here. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Beautiful property
This property is definitely a 10 plus property and Neil and Karen are the sweetest people. They check in with us on our day of arrival and when we were not going to arrive until after 10:30 pm. She left the lights on for us and texted us Along the way to be sure we were okay. The house is beautiful and we wish we could have stayed longer and used the kayaks that they had. We loved the hot tub. Highly recommend this property

Lovely Spot
If you are looking for somewhere that feels like home while on vacation, this is the place. The house has charm with modern updates. We loved the hot tub and sitting by a fire each night. Karen and Neil provided everything you could think of and the amenities were plentiful. They also gave many suggestions of things to do in the area. The house was located between Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove and Halifax, which was perfect for us. We really appreciated the lovely stay and the amazing hosts. We will definitely stay again if we are in Nova Scotia

You Gotta Stay Here
If you want that home away from home feel in beautiful NS, then this is the place for you! Karen and Neil have thought of everything to make your stay relaxing and fun! From the back deck, where you can have a leisurely start to your day, to access to bikes or kayaks to explore the area, or end your day in the hot tub…this property has something for everyone! We were so glad we got to meet them and have a wonderful chat with them and the learn history of this restored heritage family home. Karen even brought us over a charcuterie board when we said that was our dinner plan! We will definitely be back…I miss the back deck already!
