Beautiful!

This cottage had everything we ever needed. And the view was gorgeous! A great location away from Halifax. But close enough that you could easily go to Halifax, Peggy’s Cove, and Lunenburg.

Cozy & Beautiful Cottage by the water!

My wife and I stayed at Marcia’s place for 5 nights and could not have been happier! The place was very comfortable, clean, and provided us with beautiful views & lots of fun sitting around the bonfire at night. We had no issues whatsoever, and Marcia was nice enough to check in on us to make sure everything was going smoothly. The best part was that the location was close to Peggy’s Coast, Lunenberg, Halifax, and Dartmouth - we even did a small road trip up to Burntcoat Park to walk on the ocean floor! Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to enjoy some rest & relaxation, and the beauty of what Nova Scotia has to offer. Thanks Marcia!

Wonderful getaway

We loved our week-long stay at this beautiful little cottage. Marcia’s attention to detail and smart utilization of the space creates a comfortable, peaceful spot just perfect for a couple or small family. I miss having my morning tea at the water with visits from the cove’s local crane (or is it a heron?) and again by the fire to ward off the evening fog’s gentle chill. For now, I’ll look forward to the day we return.

Cozy quiet

This little cottage was the perfect ending to our east coast vacation. Short and scenic drive to Lunenberg, Mahone Bay, Peggy’s Cove, Halifax, and so much more. The cottage had everything we needed, and the outside patio/fire pit area is stunning. We were fortunate to have some beautiful weather and spent all of our ‘home’ time outside watching the bay. Thank you Marcia, we hope to return.

Just right

Coastal cottage was charming. It's a sweet cottage with a very comfortable layout with a bedroom downstairs and a bed in the loft. The kitchen was more complete than expected with a full stove and very well equipped. The location feels very private overlooking the cove. It's also convenient for nearby hikes, kayak rentals and day trips to Peggy's Cove, and the Bay of Fundy. Marcia has made this a cozy, charmer. Everyone we meet was so nice. Thank you.

We had a lovely time. Marcia is a wonderful host, and if you need something, her response is very quick. My concern is always cleanliness, and I must admit I was not disappointed. It was a very positive experience, and a wonderful stay. If you are seeking peace and quiet, it is the place to stay. Simply awesome!

Amazingly unique and charming place

We absolutely loved our stay. The host was very attentive to all of our requests and everything was better than we even hoped. The location is very quiet and the cottage was very well equipped. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. While staying here please go and eat at Shawn’s Landing. It is the greatest food we had.
