Holiday rentals with lake access in Porters Lake

Needing a home away from home to host family for our daughters graduation, Rebecca accomodated ALL our specific requests! The lake was so conveniently located and we all enjoyed, from morning walks, kayaking the hottub and even came across the house game options!

Absolutely stunning home! Well stocked and maintained. We were very happy with our stay! The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. We had one small issue which was handled very quickly and smoothly!! Thank you for a lovely stay! Highly recommend!

We had a great stay. A beautiful location, a very nice cottage, well appointed. Jordan was proactive prior to check in, and the communications were very clear.

We enjoyed staying at Robert's fabulously decorated home. It is a unique home in a beautiful setting; it's not often we get to stay in a home with exotic birds, friendly ducks, and a dinosaur room. And Robert is an excellent host. It's a great location for seeing the area - many attractions within a 1-2 hour drive. We would stay here again if our travels bring us back to Nova Scotia.

We of 4 women going on a trip to NFLD and Evens home was our 2nd stop. WOW, what at beautiful place to stay. Both back and front can be seen with water and beautiful trees. This home was very clean and cozy. Peggy’s Cove is 10 minutes away and not far to see the Bluenose, with to see both. Would highly recommend this home.

Our trip to Nova Scotia was a special celebration for our daughter. We chose the Den of Zen for a number of reasons, all of which exceeded our expectations: beautiful setting on a lake; clean and modern interior; an elixir of natural light from a wall of windows; use of great amenities such as a sauna, hot tub, and grill; close to Halifax/airport and easy access to routes for day trips; and comfortable beds. What was remarkable was the incredible hospitality of our hostess, Shelley, who made the trip THE best by offering attraction suggestions and keeping in touch to answer our questions. She was so attentive. We highly recommend a stay at the Den of Zen!

I do not have a lot of experience with Airbnb so I did know what to expect. This home and my interactions with the owner Deanna, exceeded my expectations. We needed a large place for our family as we where gathering for a sad event. We all fell in love with the house and Hubbards, any questions where responded with promptly. Deanna was always interested in helping and making our stay a positive one. I could not ask for a more gracious host and would love to stay here again. You can rent this home with complete confidence. If Airbnb ever needs an ambassador, Deanna could be it.

Absolutely gorgeous place, so peaceful and serene! Hot-tub area was honestly perfect. The weather wasn't the best during my stay but I was still able to enjoy the hot-tub with it being covered, and the lake is truly breathtaking in the rain.

Was exactly what we wanted, outside of the hub bub but close enough to the city to do everything we wanted to do.

Our family of 5 loved the basement suite. Our boys loved jumping off the dock, going for a canoe ride and playing charades as a family. Thanks for hosting us!

Great place

We needed space that was convenient to our relatives and this fit the bill exactly. I'm sure it would be even nicer in the spring/summer/fall with the lake views. We didn't really use any of the facilities except the bedroom/bathroom which were excellent . Good parking, good location.

This is a nice place, very comfortable mattress, with well equipped kitchen, and a big plus is a super firm sand beach and Lake Charlotte boat ramp close by. Had an excellent 3 nights here. We recommend The Diner char grilled burger a few minutes east of Webbers Store (which is currently closed) which gives this 2nd floor apartment and deck considerable privacy.

Beautiful basement suite with full kitchen, bathroom with toiletries, washer and dryer and a lounge room with streaming services and cable. Lovely setup with separate entrance for privacy, easy to find and easy instructions to get in. Snacks, juice and bottled water also provided. Would recommend. Only thing that would’ve been nice to have on hand would be a fan for the bedroom and a hair dryer, otherwise everything was great.

We stayed for a week at Treena’s place in Lakeview while visiting relatives in nearby Bedford, NS. We found the accommodations very nicely furnished, clean, modern, and well-equipped. The kitchen is small but functional and has most equipment one would need. The situation is very private and quiet, and we were able to use the wood stove, firepit, and gas grill. We found enough supplies like coffee pods, paper products, and dishwasher detergent to easily get us through the week. There are some lovely walking trails in the area, which feels more remote than it really is, but keep in mind that a car is necessary to get around. We would definitely stay again next time we Visit Nova Scotia.

Victoria has created such a cozy and welcoming space with an absolutely gorgeous view. Everything is spotless and pristine, the bed was super comfortable, and she has provided all you need for a home away from home. We enjoyed meeting her very sociable chickens and were able to truly relax in between our runs into Halifax for fabulous food, and a quick trip to Peggy’s Cove. Although our stay was brief, we had a simply marvelous time. Thank you so much, Victoria!

We had a lovely stay at Melanie's cottage. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had absolutely everything that we needed. (bottle of wine was a nice touch) Melanie was very responsive to our questions and responded right away. The cottage is on a busy street but is relatively quiet when you are on the beautiful front deck. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area.

We had an excellent time at Birchwood. The cabin is cozy and clean and the property is well maintained. The location is incredible, right on a beautiful lake with lots of privacy. The owners are friendly and accomodating. Can't recommend enough.

My best friend and I stayed here with our kids and had a wonderful time! The view is amazing and we all enjoyed the wood fired hot tub very much. Plenty of bathrooms and space to hang out especially with two young kids. We would definitely book in again!

We had a great stay, perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. Check-in was easy and all the info we needed was provided, the actual cabin had a nice covered in deck with chairs and a BBQ, inside there was lots of cups, plates and cookware provided; even some board games on top of the fridge worth checking out, along with kids books & adult books too, lots of extra blankets and a beautiful propane fireplace (and heat pump! + eclectic heat) so no worries of being cold haha. There's a nice park across the street from the Airbnb that'd be perfect for a summer picnic, plus a campfire spot with chairs next to the Airbnb, overall a nice spot and well kept.

Sara’s place was wonderful. Everything you could think off was supplied even an air fryer. The guest binder was very informative. The pictures were very accurate. Beautiful environment. Comfortable beds. The ability to watch a movie in the hot tub was awesome while behind a screen to hide from mosquitos. The water and kayaks were a short walk from the cabin. A lovely beer and winery and two ski hills were thirty minutes a way. The store close by had liquor, icecream, take out, frozen meats, and everything else that you may need. Absolutely, beautiful and private. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks Sarah.

Our group of 8 (plus a golden retriever pup) had an incredible stay at Stephen’s place. It was easy to find and checking in and out was seamless. The space was perfect for a larger group with all of the living spaces and seating, great for games and meals. We had all we needed in the kitchen for the group and even a welcome bottle of local cider. The outdoor space was great for our dog to run around and even get in a swim, a bonfire, and relaxing on the deck. A beautiful, homey place to stay inside and out. Stephen was quick to respond and accommodating to all of our needs! A perfect host!

We needed a last minute place to stay and Benjamins lovely lakehouse was available. Beautiful property on the lake with lots of activities for the family. Private and quiet, yet any amenities are close by. If we are in the area again we would definitely come back!

Our stay at Seafarers Hideaway was a truly memorable experience. The property has one of the most beautiful views we have ever encountered and it is extremely well appointed. They have thought of everything guests will need to have an enjoyable stay. The kitchen and pantry are very well stocked as well as the bathroom. We absolutely loved the fireplace and enjoyed most evenings by the fire. When weather permitted we enjoyed the outdoor fire area and used the bbq most nights. The muskoka chairs are perfectly situated on various parts of the property and we enjoyed looking at Peggy’s Cove with the binoculars provided. We would highly recommend this property as it is an hours drive to Halifax, Lunenberg and Peggy’s Cove, with much of the drive along the ocean. We would love to return someday and treasure our first experience in Nova Scotia at Seafarers Hideaway. Krista and Ken
