Adult Sibling Trip

The house is beautiful and so comfortable. Our stay wasnt long enough to enjoy the games in the barn. The kitchen was a pleasure to work in and prepare a meal. The dining room table was perfect with space for everyone. Each bedroom was a nice get away at the end of the day.

Perfect!

We rented this house for our first full family vacation in 15 years (3 generations). The 7 of us thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful house (immediately feeling at home), the awesome fun-filled barn and the great location near picturesque towns (Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Chester) and beaches. We were all sad to leave and would love to come back. Thanks Shaune and Greg!

About the host

Hosted by Shaune MacKinlay

We are urban dwellers who love rural escapes, especially Nova Scotia's lovely South Shore. We fell in love with this property the first time we saw it, a diamond in the rough to be sure. The next year saw countless trips and seemingly endless work to restore its charms and modernize it just enough to make for comfortable, memorable vacations.

What makes this property unique

Our blue house experience comes with its own restored post and beam barn complete with a commercial grade pool table, plenty of room to hang out and a vintage 1962 regulation size shuffle board table. We are also located on a beautiful tidal inlet popular with kayakers, and close to stunning ocean beaches and the LaHave River. The LaHave is the largest river in the province, with a charming and handy cable ferry.
