The Nest

The house was amazing and the location was perfect. We were able to spend time in the wine region, Lunenburg, and Peggy's Cove, as well as decompress on the back porch and stare at the harbor.

Luxurious Secluded Perfection

Oh, how I wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful, specious cottage, overlooking the bay. Quiet area. House perfectly appointed, with all you may need. Host very attentive and accommodating. Absolutely perfect spot for exploring both the Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove. Thank you for your hospitality, Allan. Our stay was wonderful.

Wonderfull/ Magnifique

Un véritable coup de cœur ! Le cottage offre une vue splendide sur la baie, qui change au fil des heures et invite à la contemplation. L’intérieur, décoré avec goût dans un esprit bord de mer, crée une ambiance douce et apaisante. Impossible de ne pas se laisser inspirer : cette vue m’a donné envie de revenir pour peindre des scènes maritimes directement depuis la terrasse. Une adresse à garder précieusement !The cottage offers a stunning view of the bay, ever-changing throughout the day and perfect for quiet contemplation. The interior, tastefully decorated in a charming seaside style, creates a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The view was so inspiring, it made me want to return just to paint maritime scenes from the terrace. Definitely a place to keep on my list!

Lovely In and Out!

A lovely property inside and out! The landscaping gives a peaceful and private view of the bay. Nicely decorated with even small vases of fresh flowers tucked in each room. The owners respond quickly and provide detailed descriptions and information. We hope to return for a longer stay!

Quiet cove

Well equipped for meal prep. Lovely view over Deep Cove which was quiet and serene at this early point in the season. The property was spotlessly clean and well maintained. We loved the propane fireplace which provided a cozy atmosphere on the cool nights. Would certainly book again.

Peaceful and Quiet

This is a great property. We really enjoyed the beautiful view and fireplace. Very relaxing. We took a winter getaway and so were not able to use the patio, but it looked very inviting even with snow on it. The unit was well stocked with cooking items, the furniture was very comfortable. The location is a convenient distance from Mahone Bay and Chester; great for lunch, dinner or just coffee shop hopping. Will definitely try to get back.
