Sweet, Charming Spot in Gorgeous Location

Lovely hosts on a lovely property. Cozy and comfortable for two, and if you share a bed it's also easy and convenient (there's a pull-out couch). Hope to return in finer weather, and for a bit longer, to enjoy the deck sometime!

Rustic getaway.

We rented this property during the Celtic Colours festival. It was the perfect spot for accessing the festival venues around the Sydney area. We would have enjoyed the deck and propane fire pit more but the weather didn’t want to cooperate. Winston was a gracious and attentive host.

Rustic lakeside cabin

We needed a place to stay that was near Glace Bay for visiting family. This rustic little hideaway was perfect. The lake is peaceful, with plenty of wildlife. The bed was very cozy and everything you need is there for you. It's within 10 minutes to Glace Bay and near several beaches. We didn't get to experience the hospitality of the owner because he was away, which would have added a great personal touch to our experience. I suggest bringing food for the ducks. They are super cute!

We enjoyed the rustic little cabin. So quiet on a beautiful little lake full of wildlife. Was perfect for a three day stay while we had a cheer competition in Sydney. We could cook and BBQ and relax during our downtime. And owners so friendly and accommodating. Great for a get away if yr love nature and want somewhere peaceful to stay. Was nice and clean and had everything we needed.

Cute, quaint, private

It was exactly as described! And it was exactly what we needed. If you have any questions, contact the host, hee is very pleasant to deal with and very accommodating. My only advice is that if you need it super dark to sleep, to bring an eye mask, as the windows are beautifully large and bring in a lot of light in the morning.
