My husband is usually in the area for business and stays at a local hotel, however he was called for coverage for the weekend so we decided to make it a weekend out of it. My husband stays frequently in hotels, so when the two of us travel together we try to stay in a cottages (feels more like home)....

That's exactly what we had in mind when we put in the large screen, and the hot tub! Hockey night in Canada for Monsieur and a nice relaxing bath and fireplace for Madame :)

Maybe my expectations were higher than they should have been due to the many positive reviews on this website, but I found our cottage drab and depressing. There were no decorations and nothing to make it feel "vacation-y", and it had an unpleasant smell. The bed was extremely hard and hurt my back. The beach across the street had a...

Really sorry to hear the cottage was not up to your expectations. Just wanted to address a few issues.
-Decorations: We are planning to decorate every cottage for next summer. We have just completed the renovation of all cottages (fresh paint, electric fireplaces, LCD televisions, new bedding and furniture). Decoration was sort of phase 2.
-Smell: All I can say...

Stayed there for 4 nights. Very peaceful location. Nice area to have a fire, take out a bike, or go for a leisurely walk on the beach. The cottages were exceptionally clean and it was great to have the wifi included. Great seafood place about a 5 minute drive away in Dalhousie. I bought fresh lobster, clams and shrimp and...

Thank you for the nice comments. Great to see you enjoyed your stay with us!
As for the BBQs, you're absolutely right. We've been so very busy the last 3 summers, and many of them have been used and abused. We will be replacing most of them for the coming summer.

We are a family that went for two nights in July 2009. We had four cottages. We were very satisfied with the cottages. Everything is VERY CLEAN and all is included: (hair dryer, towels, sheets, BBQ, picnic table, dishes, etc...) In a couple of the cottages we had a small electric fireplace. Very nice. We also rented the larger room...

These cottages are not luxurious but are clean, comfortable, and excellent value. They are just a 5 minute drive to a top notch cross-country ski venue. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back for future ski trips.

The cottage was very clean & contained everything you needed for your stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This was perfect - my only complaint would be the cost...I found it to be a little costly considering the location (i.e Charlo for $150 to $170 per night)

Thank you for the kind words on our establishment and staff! I understand the pricing may seem a little steep, but we are in the same range as other similar cottages in the province, and we are in the process of renovating each and every cottage by the end of this year.

The cottages are very clean, with all amenities, friendly and helpful staff all in a great location. It is a very short drive to wonderful cross-country skiing. We have recommended these cottages to many friends and they have all...
