Lovely little spot right in Hubbards

Such a nice little cottage for 4! We attended a wedding at the Hubbards Barn and it was so nice to be able to walk to and from the venue. The cottage is well equipped with almost everything you'll need in the kitchen, has comfortable bedrooms and a very cozy couch! We throughly enjoyed sitting out on the back deck in the afternoon, use of the fire pit in the evening and the overall east coast charm of the decorations throughout the house. One thing that we did find was missing was cooking oil so you might want to remember to bring some.

Terrific Stay

We had a fantastic stay at the Little House in Hubbards. The house is very nicely equipped. Situated about half way between Halifax and Lunenburg, it is perfectly located to explore the region.

Relaxing vacation in a beautiful home

We had an absolutely lovely stay in Hubbards. The house is clean, well appointed, and has everything you need for a stress free stay. So don't worry, you'll have everything you need. The house is very comfortable and conveniently located for visiting Halifax, Lunenburg, and even further (we also drove down to Yarmouth and Windsor). Closer to the house is the small but excellent Fox Point beach (about a 5-10 minute drive or a beautiful 1 hour walk--if you do walk it be sure to be visible as the roads are quite twisty). Also close by is the bigger Queensland Beach and the Aspotogan Trail. There's a grocery store and liquor store in walking distance to the house which are very convenient. So there's tonnes to do and you'll definitely appreciate coming back home to a lovely home at the end of the day.

Home away from home

Just a lovely house, with pleasant decor and a yard full of greenery. It was quiet, handy to the places we wanted to go, and as birders we enjoyed the song sparrows that serenaded us. A wonderful stay, and to top it off I forgot a small component for my battery charger and the caretaker sent us a picture of it, and then agreed to mail it to me free of charge. We are both named David, and he said the David's of the world have to stick together. What a guy! I can just about guarantee that you will be happy if you rent this house.

Everything about this stay was amazing. The communication with Shelley was great, check in/out was super easy, and the home itself is fabulous.

From Kansas to Hubbards

Drove from Kansas to PEI and Nova Scotia and this was one of my favorite spots. Hubbards Little House is a lovely home—very clean and very nice! Appreciated the laundry, too. This is a sweet little community in a great location.

Perfect little house

The house is exactly as described. Very cozy, comfortable, and well equipped. The owner has thought of everything and prepared the house for every possibility, even the lengthy power outage we experienced after hurricane Lee. The location gave us excellent access to exploring the south shore and Halifax. We’d definitely stay there again.

Our friendly host provided clear communication and answered all our questions promptly. Check in was hassle free and the place was clean and welcoming. We instantly felt at home!

Charming well-equipped “little house”

Thoughtfully provisioned, comfortably furnished, and perfectly located for our our annual girls’ “Matt Mays at the Shore Club” weekend, the “little house” was everything we could have hoped for. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Location was great for the places we wanted to visit. Close proximity to all your basic needs. We did lose quite a bit of time with access to 2 bridges being blocked off. Interior of the house was clean, however, I would suggest window or portable air conditioners for the upstairs bedrooms. The windows would also need a good cleaning and plants around the house need to be trimmed and maintained.
