This place was amazing! The level to which it was stocked and prepared was excellent. It did not disappoint and exceeded our expectations. It made us jealous that we didn't live there!

Thank you very much for staying with us. I know it's hard to pick a spot from the description alone and sometimes you get more than what you thought you were going to get. We hope that was the case. Thank you for the kind note and we would welcome you back anytime. Enjoy the rest of your summer John and Irene

We were so impressed with the cottage. The location is great! So quiet, great view, close to the beach. The neighbours are lovely. This was actually our second time staying there. We liked it so much the first time we decided to go back the next summer. The cottage had everything we needed and we would recommend it. The only thing is that with the rooms upstairs, the walls don’t go to the ceiling so not a lot of privacy but as it was us and our kids that was ok.

We loved the cottage! John was a gracious host and very responsive. The location is amazing with fantastic views and easy access to the Annapolis Valley. We loved nearby Harbouville and had the best fishcakes of our trip there.

I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed this cottage. From sunrise to sunset the beauty of the bay of fundy was alive and amazing. The property hosted a family reunion bbq which was also amazing The tv was challenging but patience paid off. The neighbours very helpful and friendly. The property was very well supplied and thoughtfully laid out. The stairs were less difficult than I thought and we loved the upstairs with lookout or up balcony. So much more but enough said. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy this space. The bonus of being close to Berwick and family around topped it all off.

We had a lovely time at this property. Outstanding View of the Bay of Fundy. Easy access to all amenities. The Neighbors Cliff and Alice were very kind and informative. If you're staying with friends the only draw back is the bedrooms. Although there are three they are all interconnected there is virtually no privacy. You can hear everything and once again there is no privacy LOL. Nevertheless we were with family so everything's acceptable but if you're with friends and they have privacy issues it may be a thing.
Fantastic sunset from the cottage

We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful cottage! Good communication, very clean, great location, and an unbeatable view. Close to groceries, supplies, and fresh seafood. We were sad to leave! We would definitely book again if we’re in the area.

This has been, hands down, our favorite place that we stayed at on our adventure. The place was super clean and stocked with everything we could imagine needing. The host was very responsive to any questions that we had. I would recommend this to others.

Das Haus ist sehr schön und in einer tollen Lage. Ankommen und abfahren ist dank elektronischem Schloss zu jeder Zeit unkompliziert möglich. Die Nachbarn sind toll und freundlich (eben echte Kanadier). Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich denken kann (Handtücher, Duschtücher, Fön, ... , Gewürze, Kaffeemaschine mit allen Zutaten für den ersten Kaffee, Reis, Geschirrtücher, Spülschwamm, Spülmittel, Seife und in jedem Zimmer Taschentücherboxen und Creme, ... . Alles funktioniert und ist sauber. Es gibt zwei tolle Terrassen mit grandioser Aussicht. Irritiert hat uns einzig, dass die Zimmerwände im Obergeschoss nicht bis zur Decke reichen, so dass alles gut zu hören ist. Uns hat es nicht gestört.Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen.
