The cottage was beautiful-just as described, very well equipped and very clean. The trickling stream in the back is a lovely spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine at the end of a busy touristy day:) The location itself is perfect as a home base for visiting many tourist attractions on this side of the island. The owner clearly takes great care and consideration to make sure the cottage is a great stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Pixie enjoyed herself lots of places for her to sniff and roll around outside. And she loved the walking trail near by.

This place is a hidden gem. It has character, it is nicely decorated reflecting the local charm. It feels cozy and relaxing. It has fresh linen, plenty of bath towels, has a very well equipped kitchen, all appliances and the entire cottage were spotless clean. It is pet friendly which was first our main criteria for selecting it. The soundings are nice, the river is a plus and you are only 15-20 min drive distance from few nice beaches. Chester is quiet you are not on the beaten path of Peggy's Cove or Lunenburg. If you like quiet places, this is for you. The guidelines were very clear and helpful. We stayed 3 nights and I would like to return. Thank you for this pleasant experience.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à la résidence de Middle River!Nous étions à Chester pour participer à la célèbre Chester Race Week en août 2026, et cette charmante petite maison bleue s'est avérée absolument parfaite pour notre équipage. Avec ses trois chambres et son divan, elle offrait tout l'espace dont nous avions besoin pour notre groupe.Le site est magnifique et très paisible. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la petite rivière qui coule derrière la propriété. C'est l'endroit idéal pour se tremper les pieds ou même se rafraîchir après une longue journée sur l'eau. Tout est aménagé pour le confort et le plaisir des visiteurs : un joli patio, un barbecue, un espace pour faire un feu, un grand stationnement et, surtout, une tranquillité exceptionnelle.La cuisine est bien équipée et fonctionnelle, et la maison était impeccablement propre à notre arrivée. Avant notre séjour, nous avons échangé avec Rebecca afin d'obtenir quelques renseignements supplémentaires. Elle a répondu presque instantanément à chacune de nos questions avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de professionnalisme. Son service est tout simplement excellent.Nous gardons un excellent souvenir de notre passage et, si nous revenons à Chester un jour, il ne fait aucun doute que nous choisirons à nouveau cette magnifique petite maison bleue.Merci Rebecca pour votre accueil et votre hospitalité!

This is a wonder, cute, immaculate 3 bedroom house with the beautiful Middle River in its backyard. Our lab loved it! It has everything you'll need for a stay, with a well stock kitchen. The beds are comfy and cozy. Would love to stay there again as it was central to Chester, Peggy's Cove and Lunenberg, and not too far to Halifax.
