Pleasantville Boat Rental | Floating Cottage on The LaHave River close to beaches, golf, on Lighthouse Route

1 Bedroom Boat Rental in Pleasantville

Fall asleep to the sounds and motion of gentle river waves in this fully equipped Cottage for three. If you love the water, you’ll love Ketch Cottage. Located in Pleasantville, NS. Ketch Cottage is a unique floating house experience with modern décor and amenities.
The La Have River runs from the heart of Bridgewater to the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean (roughly 15 kms). From Bridgewater, travel down the west side of the river 5 kms to find the cottage. From there you are 15 minutes from Fort Point Museum, artisans, distilleries, wineries, and one of our favourite places to eat, the La Have Bakery. From the Bakery, hop on the cable ferry toward the East side where you will find yourself closer to Oven’s Provincial Park, Lunenburg (a world UNESCO Heritage site), and the charm of the Lunenburg’s surrounding areas. On either side of the river, you’re on Nova Scotia’s Lighthouse Route where you’ll find Nova Scotia’s most popular and sandy beaches. Drive 20 minutes along the river’s west side to find Risser’s Beach, our largest lifeguarded family friendly beach, Crescent Beach, a drive-on beach with sprawling sand, and Green Bay Beach, a rustic coastline with charming places to explore. Drive 20 minutes along the river’s east side to find Hirtle’s Beach, a sandy and surfing haven, and Gaff Point, the best hiking adventure in the area. In Bridgewater you'll find the Centennial trail, an 8 km long hiking / biking trail running through the town.
If staying closer to home is more your speed, enjoy the fire pit, kayaks (2), SUP (2) or sit on the cottage’s deck and watch the river activities, fish or just soak up the sun.

Summary: Our stay at Ketch Cottage far exceeded our expectations. From the perfectly appointed interior and amenities to the close-to-everything location to the gorgeous 360 degree views, this floating cottage could not have been more ideal.
Jaclyn N. Jun 26, 2025 08:38:33 AM
Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at this tiny floating house! It was spotless, thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The river view was absolutely stunning—peaceful mornings with coffee on the deck were a highlight. It’s the perfect spot for a quiet, relaxing getaway, yet just a short drive from vibrant coastal towns for fun day trips. Great amenities, beautiful setting, and a truly unique experience. Gordon was an amazing and gracious host. Highly recommend!

Summary: Can’t get any closer to the water than floating above it in this fun cottage on the LeHave River. Our host,Gordon, had really thought of everything needed for our stay, and the place is immaculate. Such a quiet setting, with a perfect location to explore the sights of the South Shore- highly recommend the place, the host, and the area

Summary: The review rumors are true…Gordon is a legend. We so enjoyed our stay. Super close to town while still getting to enjoy nature. Ridiculously clean. Enjoyed the seals that come out in the evening. Gordon took us out on a boat ride up to town. You should stay here.
