Holiday houses in Nova Scotia

We had a truly wonderful stay! Everything was exactly as described — peaceful, clean, and thoughtfully prepared. We especially appreciated the attention to detail — it’s clear that the hosts care deeply about their guests’ experience. The nature around the place is absolutely beautiful, and the quietness made it feel like a real retreat. Thank you for such a lovely atmosphere. We’d be happy to return someday!

Our stay at Mallard at Church Lake was fantastic! The A-frame design is stunning with beautiful decor throughout. The kitchen setup was perfect, and we loved using the outdoor grill for lakeside meals. As birding enthusiasts, we added many new species to our Life List and learned fascinating details about mallard duck behavior and life cycles. The location is a nature lover's dream. What really set this property apart were the excellent accessibility features (wheelchair ramp, no-threshold shower, seamless floor transitions, etc., which accommodated our disabilities. The hosts were communicative before and during our stay, making everything seamless. We enjoyed canoeing and paddleboarding during the day and incredible stargazing at night under clear skies. This property offers the perfect blend of comfort, accessibility, and natural beauty. We'd absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to other travellers, especially those needing accessible accommodations!

We had an incredible time at the River Shack! It was clean, there were all the amenities we needed to cook dinner, and the bed was super comfy!! The sound of the river and the large windows facing the water created a peaceful getaway. We will be back!

This place took my breath away as soon as we pulled into the driveway. We fell asleep to the sounds of the waterfall outside. We watched from inside the cozy house as the Bay of Fundy overtook the beach below us during a downpour. We made pizza at midnight with ingredients we found at the Wolfville Farmer’s Market. It felt so peaceful and remote, but was still a 15min drive to great restaurants. There’s a Nordic spa literally a 5min drive down the road. Our hosts left instructions and recommendations for everything. We are so grateful to Melissa and Charles for sharing their home with us.

Extraordinary property with expansive windows overlooking the lake and a stunning deck for enjoying the view. The interior was both comfortable and stylish, with tasteful designer touches throughout. Outside, the gas fire pit and string lights created a magical setting for evening s’mores. Beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The hosts, Vicky and Steve, were responsive and thoughtful throughout our stay. Note: the steep, unpaved driveway requires AWD—it wasn’t an issue for us and actually added a sense of adventure. There is an alternative place to park vehicles midway for non-AWD vehicles. The only downside was unexpected construction on the lot next door starting Monday, which brought some loud noise. An excavator was moving boulders to clear out space to build a house. Vicky and Steve handled it quickly and graciously with alternative options. Aside from that, the stay was absolutely wonderful.

We definitely enjoyed our stay! It was clean, private, and there was a stunning view any time of the day! We saw a couple of seals and porpoises, and the games/puzzles/books they left out were wonderful to relax with in the evening. The hot tub at 6am was the highlight for us—a crisp breeze made the hot water so relaxing and peaceful. The hosts left lots of instructions, and the french press for coffee in the morning was perfect! ☕️ We would recommend this place to anyone, and would absolutely love to stay again! 🌊🤍🫶🏻

This place was clean, modern, and had everything we needed for the perfect weekend. The dry firewood made for an amazing campfire, and the sauna was super easy to use with adjustable temperature. The Blackstone BBQ was great, and the kitchen was fully stocked for cooking. The beds were really comfortable: two upstairs and one on the main floor, perfect for families or small groups. Bluetooth speakers were top quality and connected in seconds. Jodi was an amazing host, sharing everything we needed to know well before check-in. If you’re planning a getaway with family or loved ones, this place is a must!

Omg, where do I even begin! This place was magical! Perfect retreat for those seeking to decompress from the daily hustle and bustle, super peaceful and serene. The house was exactly what you see in the photos with beautiful views of the water and landscape. So grateful that Natasha and Michael are kind enough to share this little piece of heaven with others. Thank you so much Natasha for answering all my questions and providing recommendations for things to do and where to eat. I am looking forward to staying here again 🥰
