Another great stay on Corkum's Island! We made great use of the little beach this time, exploring around the island with our canoe. The house tolerated the heat pretty well, and we look forward to our next visit.

Corkums Island cottage

The owner should complete more preventative maintenance so guests do not have issues. Better cooling system in the upstairs bedrooms would be beneficial as it can get very hot even with fans.We enjoyed being near the water.

We enjoyed our stay at the apple orchard cottage. The house was spacious and had lots of character. Natasha was quick to respond to any questions I had. Only comment as others have mentioned was that we did find it hot upstairs while sleeping. Thankfully Natasha has a big standing fan in each room which helped somewhat. The location was fantastic being just a short drive into Lunenburg and other south shore locations including the Lahave ferry to enjoy the shops and bakery there. We also enjoyed watching the deer roam the property at their leisure.

The house was in a great location. However the 6 of us feel that the house should have been cleaner than it was, the air conditioning did not work and there when I wrote the owners to inform them that the air was not working I received no response

Favorite location on the south shore!

This is our second stay here and we loved it again! Corkums Island is so quiet and peaceful, while still being close to everything you'd need in Lunenburg. The cottage has everything you need. Bedrooms are big (and there are really 4, the extra one is small but very usable), it's dog friendly and the heat pump makes a huge difference. It's not an Instagram star or anything, but it feels lived in and cozy in a way that the black-metal Ikea-filled places can't match.

Quiet beauty

We stayed for 2 nights. It was a nice quiet place with beautiful views and privacy. It was close to Lunenburg so we visited that twice. There was a nice quiet private beach just footsteps from the cottage. My children enjoyed looked for treasures like shells and sea glass. We saw a few deer walking around. The host was very quick to respond to questions and gave good suggestions about places to see and do :). We enjoyed our stay on Corkums island.

Perfectly peaceful spot

This house in Apple Orchard Lane is spacious and well equipped. We saw the sun rise over the water each morning which was just magical and we enjoyed seeing lots of birds and deer in the garden. Lunenburg is a fantastic town to visit, so picturesque and accessible. Everyone we met was pleasant and polite and so very helpful. Great holiday all round. .

Perfect location

It was a great few days at the cottage. So close to the ocean. A ridiculously short drive into Lunenburg. Made it out to Keji to kayak on the lake. It was quite hot during some of our stay, but a few minutes with the AC and fans going, and windows open at night, it was just fine for the 4 of us. Thanks!

Why they chose this property

I first came to Lunenburg in 1984 I was just 17 years old and fell in love with the place. I said then that one day I wanted to buy a house here and in 1999 that dream came true.

What makes this property unique

The location of this house gives you country style living yet close to the ocean and just a short ride to the historic town of Lunenburg. Easy to get to by land or sea and just an hour from the major city of Halifax makes this my perfect getaway spot.
