Holiday rentals with a fireplace in South End, Halifax

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.

Stayed at Anni's place for 2 nights. The check-in was super easy and well explained. We had to bring two vehicles and there was no problem parking both in their huge driveway. The unit is very private, spacious and bright. Lots of windows and has a lovely deck space. It was clean and well stocked. There is no stove but the one-burner induction cook top along with the toaster oven and microwave was all that we needed. The bed and living room furniture were comfortable and there is a lovely large TV with Netflix and live TV, etc. which provided lots of ertainment even for us technologically impaired individuals. The unit is located in a very nice, quiet area in an excellent location close to everything that you would need. Anni is a gracious host and always responds to messages right away. I would not hestitate to recommend this unit for both long or short term stays and would definitely stay again.

10/10! Colin’s place was perfect for our weekend in Halifax. Generous host that helps make you feel right at home. Clean, cozy, & well curated. Very spacious as well. Easy walking distance to explore a cool part of town and grab a bite to eat. Lots of solid restaurants and shops nearby! Wouldn’t second guess booking it!

Randy’s property is absolutely stunning and super private. It had everything I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of my crazy life. He brought fresh firewood over and showed me how to use the fireplace. The added touches of his beautifully designed furniture and decor just made the whole home feel so cozy and unique. I love that he displayed some beautiful art from local artists as well. I made good use of the sauna and hot tub. Everything was immaculate and clean. I would highly suggest booking Randy’s spot - if you can find an opening in their very busy calendar! One thing to note is that it is not close to restaurants but that did not bother me as I brought my own food and had the option to cook, which I prefer! There’s also filtered water for drinking in the kitchen. Such an elevated but also rustic home away from 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!

Great place! Stunning views of the lake!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mary's place. It had everything we needed, including a nice big kitchen with a lovely view; it felt like I was cooking in a treehouse :-) Mary was very easy to communicate with. We would be happy to stay here again.

David’s instructions were great and the location was close to a lot of restaurants and an easy walk to the waterfront.

The place was comfortable and good value for money. Peaceful neighborhood away from the busy Halifax area. It had the necessary amenities and Barry was very accommodating and friendly.

Beautful condo right in the heart of downtown and close to everything.

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!

Excellent place to stay! Backyard area and hot tub is really nice. Place is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this place and staying in the north end of Halifax.

We stayed for 6 months and it was absolutely wonderful! There were lots of beaches and trails nearby to take our dog. The views were amazing! We even saw a seal once! The apartment was beautiful as well, especially the kitchen (as someone who loves to cook and bake it was perfect!) It's the perfect distance from Halifax if you don't like the bustle of a city but still want to do some sightseeing if you don't mind driving a bit! Overall we loved every part of our stay :)

Very clean and quaint spot to stay at. The theatre room was fantastic. Made my weeks stay a great time!

We had such a wonderful stay. The property is so beautifully landscaped by Bruce and Leesa. You can see the love and care they put into it. The inside was no exception. It felt warm and inviting. Leesa and Bruce are wonderful people. Very friendly and put us at ease right away. Really really nice couple. Don't think twice about booking this place. You will not be disappointed. We will be coming back and will book Leesa and Bruce's place without a question. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed.

Danielle was a great host; easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The place is very tidy and clean. It was great for our family with a crawling 7mo. Thank you again we had a great stay!
