About this property

The Little Red Cottage

Summary:
Our cottage overlooking Annapolis Royal is the perfect setting to create your own adventure, whether you are exploring the Cradle of Canada, researching your ancestry, enjoying the outdoors or looking for the perfect forever home.
Our Nova Scotia Tourism registration number is STR2425D1660

The Space:
One private bedroom with a queen-size bed and a queen-size sofa bed in the living room not private and probably suitable only for kids or 1 adult (Even though it can sleep 4, we believe it is best suited for 2 guests) ). A truly unique ever changing setting, first row to watch the tide come in or out, and to keep the million-dollar unobstructed view, please watch out for your dog and kids.
We are right on the water, in the Annapolis Basin, there is no real beach to stroll in, and the currents are quite strong, so we don't recommend swimming.
We are 2 minutes away from Annapolis Royal in the Village of Granville Ferry, so we are surrounded by our friendly neighbours & you will see us on our deck enjoying a cold one with friends or just hanging out, the backyard of the cottage is private enough that you will feel on your own.
Our cottage is a charming place with the quirks of all old houses, and that in itself makes it unique but not the Ritz.

Guest Access:
Propane BBQ. beautiful views.
Smart TV & Cable and plenty of kids DVD's and DVD player,
Kitchen is stocked with basics: Mayo, mustard, ketchup, salad dressing, oil, vinegar, spices, complimentary coffee and tea. Pet essentials (bowl, towel, poop bags)

The Neighborhood:
The Cradle of Canada, vibrant community in the summertime, nice restaurants in the area, and lots of day trips, like whale watching, canoeing, great hikes, tons of history.
As well, you can quietly stay at home watching the tide come in or go out.

Getting Around:
If you have a bike, bring it! walking to town is 20 min. and we don't have public transport.

Other Things to Note:
Let us know if there is anything else you need, we will try to accommodate you.
ONLY 1 (ONE) PET PER VISIT ***LET ME KNOW YOU ARE BRINGING ONE AT THE TIME OF RESERVATION***
We are right ON the water, so please be careful with your dog and the kids (can't stress this enough) there is a fire pit in the backyard for your enjoyment, sometimes there are fire bans in the area so please check Nova Scotia Safeburn before you start a fire, the fines are hefty and WE WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM. Make sure the fire is put out before you turn in.
No parties. Nova Scotia in the summer equals bugs, so use repellent & sunscreen.
By no means is this a secluded cottage, our house, where we live, is on the same property, we like to spend time on the deck and entertain.
Our pricing includes 3% Marketing Levy imposed by Annapolis County.

Interaction with Guests:
We will greet you when you come, and be available for any needs or inquires you might have. Our home is located on the same property, if you look closely at the photos, the house in the back is us, this is how close we are to each other, BUT, we won't interfere with you or even hear you! Just remember that you are in our home, so please treat it respectfully.

Great for Exploring the Annapolis Valley

The Little Red Cottage is charming and conveniently located near Annapolis Royal, Digby and the Bay of Fundy. The cottage was clean and had all the amenities we expect when traveling. Our host, Valentina, was attentive and gave us great suggestions for enjoying the area. I wish we had booked a longer stay at the property.

Cute little cottage

This little cottage is the perfect location for a weekend away. The host was very helpful and charming and the cottage is super clean and well appointed. Cottage has a fantastic view of the Bay and we got to watch the influence of the famous tides of the Bay of Fundy has on this area.

Granville Ferry Little Red Cottage

Everything about our experience was excellent. The cottage is picturesque (right on the water), not to mention very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Valentina is extremely kind and welcoming and goes to endless trouble ensuring guests have what they need. It is especially wonderful the cottage is pet-friendly. We would stay again in a heartbeat. There is so much to do in the area with its fascinating historical sites and beautiful natural scenery. Highly recommended.

Comfortable and quiet

This is a very well appointed property with a lots of thoughtful touches to make for a very comfortable stay. The location is very good and is a great place to observe the extreme tidal range found here. If you like peace and quiet you will find it here. The walk into Annapolis Royal only takes half an hour and the paths are good.

Every expectation (& more!!) met...

'Little Red Cottage' was everything that is it as shown & described...& more. Valentina has thought of details that when you notice them, you realize 'yes! I meant to bring that...I so could use that!' She especially made certain we had what we needed if tropical storm Lee took out power. (It didn't) The property was spotless and so pretty. Bed was incredibly comfortable and linen cozy. My favourite spot was curling up on the kitchen bay window seat overlooking the river. I've actually 'taken home' some of her kitchen ideas/designs. Lots to do & see across the river in Annapolis Royal. Again, Valentina had all that info covered for us. Don't miss a chance to spend some time in this exquisite cottage...you will not be disappointed.

Cottage of tides and serenity

I would give the Little Red Cottage 10 stars if I could! One of the best properties ever!! Valentina is a gracious easygoing host! The cottage is a gem--has everything you need. Went to Port Royal & Annapolis Royal. Dinner at Composa was excellent. Ate lunch at Fort Annes Cafe- owner Jeff is a hoot and cooks great haddock! The patio at the cottage provided the most interesting views with the major tidal changes-enjoying wine while watching the birds and tides was amazing. Thank you, Valentina, for a perfect start to our Nova Scotia vacation!

Lovely Cottage, Lovely Location, Lovely Host

The cottage overlooks the Annapolis River near a dam, so we got to see all sorts of tidal variations. It’s just a few minutes drive from Annapolis Royal where there are a number of restaurants. Valentina was a very welcoming host and provided pretty much everything one could need or want.

Quiet, relaxing Vaca

Valentina was on top of everything. Answered our call when we were delayed in arriving, location is clean and has everything needed for a quiet, relaxing vaca. Tides were so interesting to watch, town was very nice, bike trails were great. Railtrail for my wife and I were wonderful and the new mountain bike trails for me were just 10 minutes down the street.

Little piece of paradise!

Little Red Cottage was a dream come true! Valentina has thought of absolutely everything to make you feel right at home. We left feeling rested and relaxed! Cuddles in the yard with Cooper was an added bonus! Take Valentina's advice and get the smoked bacon from Lequille Country Store! You will not be disappointed! We look forward to our next visit!
