Summary: Overall so pleased with the week. If I had to say a negative it would be that the bunkie had no screens on the windows and just fans for cooling. I also didn’t realize that the bedrooms would be so warm…not unbearable though and nothing the owner could do about that. The owner was so generous with kitchen supplies,towels,bathroom supplies and water. We used the kayaks etc and really enjoyed the lake between running around to the sights of Nova Scotia.Thank you Lyndy for a marvellous vacation.

Summary: My son was racing at Atlantic Motorsport park close by and we booked for 4 nights. We didn’t get a lot of time to enjoy the cottage but it’s 5 stars in all aspects

Summary: This property was beautiful, right on the lake on a quiet road. We had everything we needed to accommodate our party of six for our daughter’s graduation from Dalhousie University in Truro. The home was a short drive away from the campus, shops and restaurants. We even spent a day in Halifax and Lunenburg, on the waterfronts, and Peggy‘s Cove! It is a nice, easy drive with plenty to see if you set out after breakfast. We returned to the lake in the evening, sitting out on the porch to reminisce about our day. The hosts were very helpful and very kind. They even left us cookies! We would definitely stay here again!

Summary: The property offers everything you could possibly need or desire while on vacation. Whether you are interested in being active or prefer the calming effect of sitting by the lake, it has it all. We were thrilled to observe a Bald Eagle perched at the top of a tree next to us for over an hour on two occasions.
