Cute little cottage with everything you need. Had another wonderful stay with my three children. The horse, Ronnie, is so lovely, and the cottage is so cozy. The games room is also a great space!

We are a family of five (kids between 9 and 15) and we all absolutely loved staying at the cottage. It was the perfect place to disconnect, relax and enjoy the last weeks of summer. We made great use of the games room and enjoyed many evenings of board games and pots of tea! Location is great and we highly recommend the Cedar farmers' market just down the road!

What an amazing place! Set in the countryside with a resident horse and dog, this is an ideal vacation away from city life. We walked to the end of Barnes Rd and climbed down the rope to the ocean. We had the place to ourselves. The tide was out and the ocean floor was covered in sea life which the kids loved investigating.The host was so welcoming to our large family and the place itself had loads of indoor and outside seating. Thank you from all of us!

We loved ur cosy stay at the old far cottage. The hosts were so quick to respond, and our time at the cottage was quiet and peaceful. We loved the walk to Cable Bay, and there’s lots of small town charm to enjoy. The stairs to the beds upstairs are steep so something to be mindful of if you have mobility issues. We would stay again. Thanks for a great time!

The cottage was a great base for our family while we stayed in the area for a wedding. It was comfortable and clean with a well stocked kitchen. Lacy was very responsive. Our kids loved the games room and saying hello to the horse.

The cabin is in a kid friendly setting. We were great full for the random condiments that we had forgotten to pack. Has a nice view into the horse pasture and games room for kids and adults alike.Upper two rooms are accessed via a steep staircase and is not ideal for toddlers or seniors.

We had a wonderful stay at this property while attending our son’s wedding nearby. The location was absolutely perfect—just minutes from the venue, which made the entire week so much more enjoyable and stress-free.The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It was a welcoming place to relax and spend time with family between the wedding festivities. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and made the check-in and check-out process seamless.One of our favorite parts of the stay was seeing the horses every morning. It was such a special touch, and it made the weekend even more memorable knowing they were also part of our son’s wedding photos.We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for helping make such a special weekend even more unforgettable!

The cottage was a great experience! The place was clean and comfortable equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed all the games in the game room, watching some classic DVD movies, and cooking on the Blackstone griddle. The place is very quiet and peaceful, and we loved listening to the frogs in the evenings. We also enjoyed exploring the trails around Cable Bay. Our host Lacy was fantastic and it was nice seeing Ronnie and Rosie walking around the property. Would highly recommend!

The place was beautiful and quiet. Lovely well stocked kitchen. The location is central to everything we wanted to do. The only thing that was a bit of an issue was the staircase to the 2nd floor. It's almost a ladder and impossible for people with age challenges or disabilities. Well worth the price. Would return.

Christmas in the cottage! It was easy because the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a festive dinner. The cottage was clean and comfortable, the games room would have been fun but it was quite chilly out so didn't spend much time out there. This is a great place for a family to stay and would highly recommend it.
