Antigonish House | A piece of heaven in Nova Scotia

5 Bedroom House in Antigonish

The Artist's Beach House is situated on the Antigonish Harbour just ten minutes from the lovely university town of Antigonish This private and quiet retreat feels like it’s worlds away. The house is surrounded by water – and 6 acres of land. The beach goes on forever and is nicely secluded – swimming is excellent in the warmest waters north of the Carolina's. So is canoeing and kayaking on the harbour where there’s so much to discover. The grounds are spectacular with gardens everywhere. In season, the best lobster in the world can be had fresh off the boats nearby.
This architect designed house is ideal for entertaining with wrap around decks and porches complete with ample outdoor eating areas. We have a wheel chair ramp (available on request) on the back deck which makes the whole first floor with two bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms accessible. Indoors you’ll be greeted with warm cherry wood throughout, walls full of original contemporary art, oriental rugs on the floors and sumptuous furnishings everywhere. All the amenities are there to pamper you during your stay. When the nights are cool there’s nothing better than curling up in front of one of two fireplaces with a good book or movie. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, colourful and artistic.
We can make the office available upon request, for those who will need to do some work during their stay. It's a private room with desks and a printer plus a good library.
Overall it's a rare and special property with many features such as private trails throughout the woods, a firepit at the beach and lovely gardens. All of our guests tell us that the photos don’t do it justice. It truly is a beautiful place!

Geoff Q. Sep 23, 2024 11:02:38 PM

Summary: I can’t say enough about this property and the owners. Hugh was most accommodating and the property is very well appointed and very comfortable. If you want a quiet relaxing place to get away. This is it!

Don B. Aug 15, 2024 09:34:59 PM

Summary: The cottage was better than described and a joy to enjoy. It is in the countryside beside water but close enough to a city for the conveniences needed.

Jim A. Jul 28, 2024 02:49:55 AM

Summary: Excellant property with outsatandiing hosts. Had great week and would recommend to anyone.

Leslie S. Jul 16, 2024 08:21:37 PM

Summary: After driving 10+ hrs through a torrential rain storm, the house was warm and welcoming with lights lit. Beautifully appointed! The location is absolutely breathtaking. Tiiu could not have been more accommodating throughout our stay. The house was well stocked. A great central location to explore the highlands of Nova Scotia. Oh yes, those pesky mosquitoes!

Pamela d. Sep 10, 2023 07:28:45 PM

Summary: This house is gorgeous and located in the most perfect setting. The house has everything you could possibly need and it’s decorated with the most amazing artwork. This home is a gem located in an idyllic setting. Tiiu and Hugh are wonderful hosts and so incredibly helpful and kind. I cannot recommend this house enough. It was a perfect home for our family vacation. Thank you Tiiu! FIVE STARS!

Summary: This property is beautiful, relaxing, and quiet. There are extensive lawns and a long stretch of private rocky beach with many shorebirds. The house itself is large, with four enclosed bedrooms and one living area downstairs that can be converted to sleeping space. As described, the house is home to an artist, who lives next door to the property during the summertime. There are many works of art and items of unique character throughout the house. There were extensive instructions in the welcome binder regarding cleaning, using the dishwasher and washing machine, recycling regulations, and conserving water in the event that the hand-dug well begins to go dry during a hot summer. (As this was a wet summer, we had no issues with water during our stay.) It is important to carefully read the detailed instructions and to adhere to them, as additional fees or charges may apply if the instructions are disregarded. The house was well-stocked with dishes and cookware, toilet paper, paper towels, pantry items, and hand soap. The heat pump that provided cool air on humid days was much appreciated. There is ample seating, and linens and towels are provided. If we could suggest one thing it would be to add a clothesline for bathing suits and towels, or for more eco-friendly drying of clothing. Our interactions with our host were positive and friendly and she was quick to welcome us to the property.

Donna M. Aug 16, 2023 06:22:45 AM

Summary: All 3 generations of our family enjoyed our stay in this lovely home, full of character and art. Tiiu and Hugh were very welcoming and accommodating. While the weather and mosquitos were challenging, we look forward to a return visit some day! The McGuire's, Taylor's, and Burgert's

Sarah C. Jul 13, 2023 08:51:00 AM

Summary: Great spot for a family get together. Stayed for a week while visiting family in the area and we had a great time. Ocean access and a wonderful grass yard for kids to run around in. Ocean access is rocky but they do have adult size shoes to make it easier.

Jay C. Oct 3, 2019 08:37:30 AM

Summary: Beautiful property right on the water, beautiful home, all within 12 minutes of wherever you need to go. A "Must Stay" when you are in Antigonish or surrounding area. Truly home away from home with all the amenities. It's my #1 place to stay twice a year when I visit Antigonish. The owner (Tiiu) could not have been nicer, what a wonderful host.

Jen L. Aug 27, 2019 09:32:04 PM

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Nova Scotia! Tiu was very welcoming. Her home is in a beautiful spot. It is warm and relaxing. Lots of room to spend time with family and friend.s. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe and just sitting on the decks. We also enjoyed exploring the local area. We were even lucky enough to see bald eagles fly right over the house!!
