About this property
3 Bedroom Lakefront less than 1 hr from Halifax with Hot Tub, WIFI and AC
Dockside cottage is the perfect location! Just 10 minutes to Truro or Stewiacke and 35 to Dartmouth crossing or 45 to downtown Halifax!!
There is a bakery in Brookfield that has the most amazing treats which is just a few minutes away!
The lake has a public boat launch so bringing your boat is very convenient. After a day of tubing, relax in the hot tub or enjoy a fire, lakeside!
The cottage will have everything you need! It is truly your home away from home!
