About this property

Beautiful Lakefront Cottage, St Andrews NB

2+1 bedroom (sleeps 7) on a watershed lake in St Andrews by the Sea NB. Plank hardwood flooring and cathedral pine ceilings throughout this open concept lakefront cottage on a quite country road in Charlotte County NB. This perfect set up for families has 3 bedrooms which are cozy and compact with a queen in one and a bunk bed in each of the other (1 of which has a double bed on bottom). The open concept living/kitchen area has a butcher block peninsula with 5 stools to enjoy your meals. Leather couch/chair and a futon (for more sleep space) furnishes the living area. The water system is lake fed and therefore not potable. B bcue and new stainless steel stove meet all your vacation eating needs. No TV or Wifi here, nature has too much to offer! - Your kids will have to talk to you!
Outside, the lakeside deck offers amazing views of the entire lake and you can watch the sun rise over the surrounding hills as you enjoy your morning coffee. There are 2 kayaks (1 adult, 1 smaller person) and paddle boat on site with which to enjoy the crystal clear swimming waters. Entry to the water depths is slow and gradual, again perfect for families.
All this only 7 minutes to Market Square in gorgeous St Andrews, a town which was recently voted the most desirable vacation location in Canada. All the benefits of an ocean front vacation with your own personal lakefront swimming get away!

Thoughtful Lakeside Stay

The cottage was perfect and included so many thoughtful touches that we were grateful for. We had a sweet reunion after 3 years of Covid separation and this lakeside cottage, so near St. Andrew's was a beautiful setting.

Lovely cottage on private lake

My partner and I had a great stay at John's cottage! The location couldn't be better. The views of the lake from the multiple decks are spectacular. We enjoyed eating outside and building a campfire in the evening. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make your own meals. We had fun playing board games in front of the electric fireplace. And we had a blast paddling about the lake in the kayaks and on the paddle boards provided. The drive to St. Andrews is quick and easy and we were able to go on a whale watching tour there. John was friendly, welcoming, and communicative. I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to do so again!

Immaculate , Well Equipped, and Peaceful!

Great getaway on a calm lake. We enjoyed the paddle boards, the kayak and the canoe. The weather was sunny and perfect so we also enjoyed sitting on each level of outdoor furniture plus the screen porch. The new heat pump took the chill out of a few nights. Very close to St Andrews . We loved the Stars! And the waterfront campfire. A beautiful place. If you are coming from the States, as we were, Be Aware that Canada does not charge a fee for entry. Those are scammers asking for $65 , impersonating the official website.

Little piece of heaven

Yes its off the beaten path, a short travel on gravel road but then you arrive, sitting high above Gibson Lake a little cabin of beauty. Nicely decorated, comfortable with all that you need. Then you rise and set with the beauty of the lake, sunrises, sunsets and mirror reflections. We loved our time. Thanks to our great hosts for having this available when we needed it most, end of summer R&R.

Gibson’s Rest Vacation

It was perfect. There was nothing that could have improved it in my opinion. Just what we wanted - quiet, beauty, clean, comfortable, lake “toys”, every kitchen and bath need already provided (that was unexpected). We loved it totally and completely.

About the host

Hosted by John Desmond

Host profile image
My wife and I bought the cottage after we had lived in St Andrews for 5 years. A job change caused us to move out of the area, but we wanted to keep a foot hold in St Andrews because we enjoyed the natural beauty and kind people so much. We still travel down frequently and always look forward to slipping into the pristine lake. There is so much to do in St Andrew with the ocean activities and natural beauty that we always have look forward to visiting.

Why they chose this property

Why not! Incredible water and scenery, beautiful cottage with toys, 8 min to ocean fun!

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous lake with all the activities of St Andrews by the Sea tourist destination (golf, whale watching, ocean kayaking, hiking, riding,etc)
