Love this property in Blue Rocks!

We throughly enjoyed our stay! The Blue Rocks region is like no other and our home away from home was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and the living room was comfortable as well as the bedrooms. Will definitely stay here again. Only suggest two things…hot water was not a problem but water pressure in the shower could be better and the trees/bushes along the road blocked the beautiful view from the deck. But we absolutely loved our stay and already miss the quietness of Blue Rocks!

A week at Blue Rocks

The cottage was well kept and had everything we needed. I wish I had known about the water situation before the last communication. It had a distinct odor (particularly the first day) and we used bottled water to drink and cook with. The only other negative was the tub floor in the bath with the shower. When it got wet, and particularly when soap became involved, the tub was incredibly slick. Overall, we had a good stay and would book the cottage again.

Awesome location!

Beautiful, quiet neighbourhood. Great for walks along the waterside. Easy driving into Lunenburg for groceries, sightseeing, lunches, sailing, walking to admire all the historic sights and galleries. If the other couple had been able to come we would have had to draw straws for who got what bedroom as the second one had bunks and no reading lights.. Could have pushed beds together and added a reading light as we are all great readers. Perhaps I didn’t look closely enough at the photos. No matter it all worked out! Had some trouble getting the lock box open and closed . Would love to visit the area again! Thanks!!

Amazing location and property

A beautiful property with an amazing location. The views from the balcony are spectacular. Blue Rocks is such a beautiful place and only minutes from Lunenburg. We were privileged to see the Bluenose II pass by in front of the property many times. We enjoyed the daily visits of the deer and loved stargazing at night. The pictures don’t give the property justice. Also, the owner was very responsive and pleasant to deal with.
