Our stay at this beautifully renovated farmhouse was exceptional. Located just off the main road, it offered a serene atmosphere. The spacious room was impeccable and comfortable, with a roomy bathroom. The grounds were beautifully maintained, showcasing a high level of attention to detail. The peaceful location allowed for a restful night’s sleep and the fresh air from the open windows was an added bonus. Each morning, a delicious breakfast featuring fresh coffee, granola and yogurt was provided. The property’s proximity to Lunenburg and Mahone Bay made it an ideal base. A short walk took us to the river, where chairs and a dock offered scenic views. Our hosts, Frauke and Mike, were helpful, friendly and made our stay enjoyable. Charlie, their dog, was a friendly, charming companion. Frauke’s recommendations for local restaurants and dining spots were extremely helpful. We highly recommend this farmhouse if visiting Nova Scotia’s beautiful South Shore

We enjoyed a remarkably comfortable and peaceful stay in this recently restored farmhouse. Located in a beautiful setting with a lovely veranda and private dock on the river only a few minutes to Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. Our hosts were very warm and helpful, providing resources and local knowledge to make the most of our stay. We really wish we could have stayed longer.

Enjoyable quiet retreat for the weekend doing tourist stuff in Mahone Bay sightseeing and Oak Island tour. I would highly recommend this unique country lodge for your stay… Hated to pack the suitcase!
