Beautiful Quiet stay!

What an amazing place to stay! Comfortable, rustic and quiet. Had a very nice stay, and absolutely fell in love with the screened in porch. Watched hummingbirds and songbirds fly around all day! Amazing!

Wonderful stay at rural retreat

We had a wonderful stay on the farmhouse property. The owners were helpful and easy to get in touch with and check in was very easy. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed for cooking meals. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened in porch, fire pit, and the beautiful and tranquil property.

Winter stay at Kintyre

Our stay at Kintyre Farm was amazing. It was the perfect spot for our family to stay. The wood stove made it extra cozy, but it also had all the modern amenities. The dogs loved running in the yard as well. We'll be back!

Tucked away

I enjoyed my stay very much but my snobby travel friend , went home after 2 nights of a week trip. After she left I was able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Rustic Comfort

A beautiful old home that was well stocked and very comfortable. It is a work in progress but that doesn't detract from the wonderful feeling of being in your own little world but still close to amenities. We loved it!

I grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but spent many weekends, holidays and summers in this special place called Kintyre Farm.

Why they chose this property

My family's ancestors first landed in Judique in the late 1700s from Scotland to find a new home.

What makes this property unique

It is the most peaceful and serene place I know on earth.
