The home was luxurious and beautiful. There are Ocean views from every room. The master suite is spa like and has an amazing deck to enjoy the view. The kitchen well equipped and ready for any chef. Our family had an amazing stay at Stilleven and we look forward to returning again soon.
I’ve stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this one was hands down the most amazing property I have been to. It had every amenity possible (you name it, it had it). The outdoor fireplace was a fantastic touch with ample wood stock. It left us not wanting to explore the area as this place had astounding views on its own and the luxury finishes were noted!

So wonderful to hear! We're glad you enjoyed your stay so much. You were fantastic guests and we would welcome you back anytime!
It was the perfect house for us to relax in…with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable bedrooms…magnificent views of the sunsets and sun rises from the upstairs deck and patios….I loved watching the Bluenose sail out of Lunenburg every day …it was a really lovely comfortable place and a true treat to stay there. I took long walks every day on the quiet road…Thank you for everything.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being such wonderful guests. The house was left so neat and tidy!
Of all the places I’ve stayed through VRBO, this may be the very best. A magical, luxurious, and peaceful place surrounded by ocean views and nature. Lori is a fantastic host and has such a sophisticated attention to detail from the linens to the decor to the amenities offered onsite (the Napoleon BBQ is outstanding). Words and photos won’t do Stilleven justice. You have to experience it!
The house was fully equipped up to the last detail. Everything available for daily use. Absolutely clean and and overall fantastic sea view.On our arrival there was a very nice welcome gift.It was definitely the most outstanding house within our complete stay. Repetition is granted. Lori was helpful at any time.
Our time last week at Stilleven was more than just a stay at a very beautiful home. It was an amazing experience. The home’s location on the water offers views of Lunenburg across the bay, the Bluenose as it sails by, and beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed fires under starry skies, and quiet walks along the road for more scenic views. Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, LaHave Island, and several lovely beaches were just a short scenic drive away. You will feel like you have stepped back in time to a simpler, more relaxed, way of life surrounded by beauty.

Magnifique maison dans un site exceptionnel. La vue est époustouflante de toutes les fenêtres! L'arrivée a été facile et la maison était immaculée. On a l'impression d'être les premiers à l'habiter tellement tout est neuf et parfait. La cuisine est impeccable! Grande et pratique. La vaisselle en poterie signée et tous les accessoires fournis sont de grande qualité, Il ne manquait rien
