An expansive deck over-looking the cove includes areas for cocktails/lounging (with sofa, club chairs, lounge chairs and a coffee table), grilling on the brand new Napoleon BBQ, al fresco dining and star gazing. Two patio umbrellas (with stands) are provided to permit shade in the heat of the day. A stone pathway links the deck to a firepit patio with six colourful Adirondack chairs where you can lounge waterside in the daytime or have a campfire in the evening. Firewood and kindling are supplied. A stone pathway also connects the designated parking area to the cottage for easy transport of luggage. Four kayaks, four paddles and four lifejackets are provided for guest use. The waterways surrounding the peninsula on which the cottage is located are calm and perfect for paddling.

Summary: We would have preferred to be closer to town but the drive wasn't too far. Place was spotless, kitchen well equipped. Setting very pretty on the water but our weather did not allow us to enjoy it fully. Lots of birds to watch, deer, even a fox walked by.
Leah M. Jun 19, 2025 08:47:09 PM
Summary: I wish we had more time to enjoy the cottage. There was so much to see in area, we were busy all day, but a comfy place to come home too.
Leah G. Jun 9, 2025 09:18:08 PM
Summary: Enjoyed several days at the cottage. Perfect tranquil setting and just a short drive to Lunenburg. The cottage has everything you could need and we were delighted at how quiet the setting is. Frank & Val are great hosts who communicate quickly. We would love to return

Summary: The cottage is just perfect for a quiet relaxing vacation! It was extremely clean and it had all the provisions you’d have in your own home. You can tell the owners take great pride in this cottage, they are also extremely responsive. We rented in April so they came out a couple hours in advance to turn the heat on for us which was above & beyond! We loved the wildlife, we saw so many deer! They have a guest book, so we enjoyed reading the comments from previous guests. One couple had their honeymoon there, another got engaged, a lot of families, and even friends weekends. They have created this little retreat for us to all enjoy. We chose this location because we wanted to explore a different area of the province (we are from Ontario). Lunenburg is quaint and so pretty. We walked into a coffee shop and they had locals playing music such a great East Coast thing! The local pub was fun! The water front is stunning. We were off season so didn’t get to do more than simple walks in Lunenburg itself but there are also a ton of great trails for hiking so that was great! Blue Rocks is a pretty drive. The fresh fish market is where we bought all our fish, we cooked up lobster, scallops, halibut etc. Thank you so much to the hosts Frank & Val!

Summary: We had a great time at the cottage. Our 2 year old grand daughter loved the s'mores by the fire. We brought along all we needed for Thanksgiving Dinner and the kitchen was so well equipped that we actually could have roasted our turkey there but we had that done at home. Frank and Val have thought of everything you might need for a great stay! Frank was very quick to respond to any requests we had and the instructions for use of the cottage were very clear. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend for a family get away.

Summary: What a perfect place for our rest and relaxation getaway! The cottage was beautiful, fresh and perfectly equipped -- furnishings, bedding, appliances and even nightlights throughout. The view of the cove and wildfowl was great inside and out. It was an easy drive into town, and we really enjoyed sightseeing and visiting excellent area restaurants. We stayed for a week in early September, with great weather, quieter roads and yet still good access to dining and attractions. Frank and Val kept us informed and were very pleasant to work with.
Peter C. Sep 30, 2024 07:29:31 PM
Summary: We had a very comfortable stay at this well equipped cottage, on an inlet cove near Lunenburg. It was very quiet which was to our liking and I enjoyed photographing the many water birds around the cove.
