About this property

Secluded, high end ideal for large families; great swimming

Enjoy the peace and comfort of this bright, family owned, luxury four season vacation home privately nestled on 3 acres of lakeside forest. This high-end, open concept, rustic country residence is fully equipped, comfortably appointed with leather furniture and features open concept post & beam construction, reclaimed wide plank flooring, two full bathrooms and a beautiful granite kitchen with breakfast bar and new appliances including dishwasher. The home overlooks pristine Falls Lake and features a new wrap around deck with glass rails and an awing, BBQ, T-shaped dock, swim raft and a roomy lakeside fire pit. It also comes with lots of lake toys including two kayaks, two paddle boards, canoe, row boat and lots of life jackets; and lots of fun stuff like baseball gloves, frisbees, badminton rackets, masks, snorkels & fins, super soakers, noodles & coin toss. There's also several kids and adult board games for fun family times.

The home also offers two recently renovated full bathrooms and 3 large air conditioned bedrooms upstairs and sleeps a total of 10. Each bedroom has a TV with Netflix and Prime. The cottage is also equipped with a convenient dishwasher, washer & dryer, 4 TV's and Bluetooth speaker. There's also a wood stove in the living room to snuggle up to on cooler fall & winter nights (wood supplied).

The four-season vacation home overlooks 350' of water frontage on Falls Lake. During the spring and summer, the cottage is perfect for families who enjoy boating, golf, hanging at the lake, swimming off the anchored raft, exploring distant shores by trail or kayak, fishing for feisty bass or roasting marshmallows around the seasonal lakeside fire pit.

During the fall and winter seasons, enjoy spectacular autumn colors, miles of hiking trails, horseback riding, downhill and cross country skiing (20 min. from Ski Martock), ice skating and snowmobiling.

Falls Lake (also known as 'cottage country') is located about 60 minutes from Halifax. It's known as a four season vacation playground offering lake and ocean activities along with magnificent wild life and sightseeing. The Atlantic Ocean, Bay of Fundy, four golf courses and Ski Martock are all less than 30 minutes away. For nature lovers and wild life enthusiasts, the Lake has a number of active loon and kingfisher nests, hummingbirds, eagles, rabbits, deer, moose and an occasional sighting of the reclusive black bear.

The town of Windsor in the Annapolis Valley is approximately 25 minutes from Falls Lake, offering grocery stores, hospital, museums, an Irish pub, restaurants and all the amenities of a bustling town. The town has several attractions to appeal to young and old alike including the Waterslide, Aquatic Pool Center, Fort Edward Historic Site, Hockey Heritage Museum and Haliburton House Museum. While you’re in town, stop by the local Spitfire Arms Alehouse which serves great pub food and 25 varieties of beer on tap and live entertainment on the weekends.

The Annapolis Valley is also home to dozens of world class vineyards, all of which offer vineyard tours, including Bent Ridge Winery, Sainte Famille Vineyard in nearby Falmouth and many more Valley wineries such as Pete Luckett’s, Muir Murray, Jost, Gaspereau, Grand Pré and Blomidon, just to name a few. (Designated driver recommended!)

About 45 minutes in the other direction, you’ll meet the Atlantic Ocean and the historic towns of Chester, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. For shoppers, sailors and beach lovers alike, the South Shore offers great boutique shopping and restaurants, beautiful ocean vistas and the ever popular Hubbards & Queensland beaches.

Enjoy day trips to Risers Beach, Kejimkujik National Park, Aylesford Zoo, New Ross Farm and the picturesque fishing community of Halls Harbour, located on the shoreline of the Bay of Fundy, known for the highest tides in the world.

New Years getaway
Easily able to host family and/or friends in this cozy, super comfortable winterized cottage. Lots of amenities and room for sitting around the wood stove or the long dining room table. Super supplied kitchen for cooking elaborate meals or simple lunches.

That Perfect Lakefront Getaway
We had such an amazing time at this place. Definitely a little piece of paradise nestled in the woods right on the Falls Lake. Far exceeded our expectations and the owner David is awesome. So responsive and made sure before checking in the we had everything we needed and answered all of our questions. The home is turn-key, so all you really need to bring is yourselves, clothing and any food items you want. Other than that it is fully stocked. We are definitely looking forward to coming back in the summertime to take advantage of the beautiful lake that the home sits directly on. This is a must do if you’re looking for the perfect getaway to relax by yourself or with the family.

Bachelorette Weekend
David was an amazing host! He called me the morning we were set to check in and walked me through the whole cottage. He was also easy to contact throughout our stay (we have an issue with the alarm system), and gave great recommendations for local outings. We went to Bent Ridge due to his recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed the food (and his 15% discount)! Even though the weather was rather gloomy we made the most of it and had a great time swimming, canoeing and drinking our morning coffees on the dock. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by David Seviour

Host profile image
We designed and built this custom post & beam home in 1999 and have spent many wonderful summers on the lake and winters at Ski Martock with our children. Our kids are now grown so we are happy to share this very special place with your family and friends... our valued guests.

Why they chose this property

We can only refer you to the beautiful pictures (both inside & out) and the 5 Star reviews. Falls Lake is clean, clear and exceptionally good for swimming, kayaking and canoeing. The cottage is conveniently located between the beautiful touristy towns of Chester, Mahone Bay & Lunenburg on the South Shore and the many local orchards and wineries in the Annapolis Valley along the Bay of Fundy, all within 50 minutes of the cottage.

What makes this property unique

Very comfortably furnished with leather furniture and all the modern conveniences and set in a rustic wooded lot. There's no 'roughing it' at our cottage :).
