About the host

Hosted by Melissa Morash

Host profile image
Melissa grew up in the nearby village of McGrath's Cove. She and her husband, Scott, purchased the home in Big Lake to be closer to family and friends. Melissa's family has a special connection to this property that goes as far back to when it was built in the mid-90's.

Why they chose this property

This is a peaceful neighborhood that is close to the natural wonder of Peggy's Cove. On windy days when the Ocean is not as inviting, Big Lake offers a sanctuary that allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Big Lake is a private sanctuary surrounded by nature. For swimmers, the warm lake waters extend the swimming season into the months when the Ocean water is still too cold. The lake will also often freeze in Winter to offer skating.
