    Restaurants close around 7.

    This is a beautiful place to stay especially if you want some R&R. 40 minutes away from Halifax. Right on the water, gorgeous view.

    Difficult to fault this house and its amenitites, but for the sake of nitpicking, we used the last bit of honey from the pot. The other thing is it took quite some time for hot water to reach the bathroom. It felt a bit like waste of water because we had to run it quite long before it heated up.

    It's like having a luxury hotel room in a shared home. Rather then walking out into a meaningless corridor in a hotel you walk out into an amazing home, shared with the other guests. Seating area, dining room, kitchen, games room, sun room, garden. It's all there! Great to have a lot of flexibility. A few comments suggest it's a bad thing to make your own breakfast but we liked it a lot. The selection of breakfast goods is amazing and of good quality, you can eat relaxed, extent your breakfast, change your mind, have something extra, the flexibility it provides was for us real freedom and added to the experience. We had a very light breakfast before going out in the kayaks directly from the garden (free of charge!) and then had a hearthy 'second breakfast' after coming back. :) We had nice chats with the other guests and the host was really nice as well. If you book this house with a group of friends or family for a bit longer stay you won't be dissapointed!

    Loved my stay here in the beautiful KISH suite and met some wonderful people who were also staying at the guest house. The communal breakfast table / kitchen is a wonderful idea and the owners kindly allow guests to help themselves to food whenever they feel peckish. In the evening we shared the hot tub and chatted for ages in the warm water, continuing the next morning at the huge dining table, also pulling some newly-arrived guests into our conversation and learning so much about each other! We really did leave as friends. Next time, we'll have to say longer, so we can go kayaking and explore the shoreline a bit. This time, there was too little time.

    It has a breakfast that you prepare yourself. It wasn’t a big deal and it kept the cost down a bit.

    This is a beautiful house on a perfect lot. I wish we had more time to have enjoyed the area and the property.

    Wonderful guest house for a long weekend with friends or family

    There are only a few places to eat in the area, most closed by 7 pm. But then again - if you come with a group and stay for a couple of days you can easily prepare your own meals.

    We mainly chose this guest house as we were looking for a place to stay within an hours drive from Halifax airport, there's not that many places. It is a great place for a weekend away with family and friends, it's quite big, with a well equipped kitchen and a spacious dining area and living room, right on the lake with the possibility for watersports. If we lived closer we would definitely come back for a long weekend. If you stay longer and use the whole offer the price is definitely more justified than when you only stay for a stop over.
