About this property

Lovely, bright,1-br apt in historic village of Canning, 5 mins from beach

This spotless, sunny, upper floor apartment in our recently built hacienda-style property, has its own private entrance and stairs. Lovely views over garden and village park from the windows and from the charming private deck off the living area; guests are welcome to stroll the property grounds with its riverside views. Free parking is provided onsite. Apartment features cathedral ceilings and cork floors in main area, ceramic tiles in bathroom and utility area, new carpet in bedroom and on stairs. It offers a full kitchen (fridge, stove, oven, kettle, microwave, toaster, dishes, pots, utensils, etc.); separate bedroom with double bed, large closet, all linens and towels supplied; full bathroom (bathtub with shower); washer and dryer in utility area; open concept dining/living/reading area, including satellite TV and internet access (wi-fi), and a range of information on local attractions and activities. Ideal holiday accommodation for one couple with potential for third person on day bed in living area. Please Note: due to the stairs, this apartment is not wheelchair accessible, and it is strictly no smoking (of any kind) and no pets. Also, initial VRBO price quotes may be in US dollars and reflect low season average; please enter your dates and check to see the actual price in $CAN or other currency when you enter your dates.
From this comfortable and convenient base you can explore all the amenities of the region: five minutes stroll to the varied Canning village craft shops, spa, cafes, restaurants, supermarket, liquor store, pharmacy, hardware store, quaint library and heritage centre, riverside park and children's playground. Five minutes drive to Blomindon winery, the beaches of Kingsport and Medford, the spectacular Look-Off, and famous Bay of Fundy tides; 10 minutes drive to Blomidon provincial park, Ross Creek Centre for the Arts and unique outdoor summer theatre. 15-20 minutes drive to Wolfville, Acadia University, pubs, gourmet restaurants, movie theatres, live music, farmers markets, Grand Pré historic Acadian Centre, winery tours, Hall’s Harbour lobster pound, Scott’s Bay beach-combing, and start of the hiking trail to dramatic Cape Split. Excellent cycling country, exceptionally good birding and eagle-watching; miles of unspoiled beaches, unparalleled hiking along rugged terrain, or gentle strolling through vineyards, orchards, and historic Acadian dykelands. Try sea-kyaking, canoeing on the lakes, tubing down the Gasperau river, or simply enjoying a glass of wine, a tasty meal and a beautiful view at one of the many local restaurants. For more lively entertainment the are many festivals -- the famous Apple Blossom festival, Deep Roots music, summer theatre arts festivals, and more. Wonderful area for fall colours, harvest festivals and autumn food and wine celebrations, such as the international "Devour" Food Film Festival. We acknowledge with respect that this entire region is the traditional homeland of the M'ikMaq First Nation.
We are an hour and 15 minutes drive from Halifax International Airport, 2 hours from the Digby Ferry to St. John's, New Brunswick, 2 hours and 45 minutes drive from Yarmouth and the ferry to Portland, Maine. The regional hospital is in Kentville (15 minutes drive from Canning).

Wonderful place and host!
What a great place to stay! Very well kept and had everything we needed for cooking a few meals. Place was really close to anything you need in town. There are lots of places for site seeing close by. We went to Halls Harbour, a winery (we loved Blomidon Estate), and a few beaches. Host was extremely friendly, responsive and super helpful on some idea planning, as we had a limited amount of time. She was a delightful bonus! Our only complaint was we wish we had more time to spend in the area, as we only had 2 days!

About the host

Hosted by susan garvey

Host profile image
My husband and I immigrated to Canada (from England and Ireland) in 1973, and fell in love with Nova Scotia and its maritime history. We built this property overlooking the Habitant River in 2008, its unusual design reflecting our interests in international architecture, blended with local house-and-barn styles. We have lived in this village for over 40 years, and love its relaxed, unpretentious way of life, and the way people try to care for our environment and community, and work together to preserve our heritage. I am a retired art gallery director and studio artist (you never retire from that!), widowed not so long ago, living with my daughter, and with frequent visits from my other children and grandchildren. My husband and I had a special interest in old methods of transport, such as wagons, river-boats and wooden ships. Canning was once an important shipbuilding community, and the shipyard was on the river right next to our property. A scale model of the last great Tern schooner (the Fieldwood, 435 tonnes, launched in the Canning shipyard in 1920) was built by my husband and can be seen in the Canning Library, Heritage Centre, and Wilf Carter Museum a short walk from our property!
