Knotting Hill - A Hidden Gem near the ocean w/kayaks & fire pit set on 2 acres

Welcome to Knotting Hill-where time slows and the nearby ocean is just a short stroll away. Nestled on nearly two acres of peaceful nature, it's the perfect spot to unwind, reconnect, and breathe deeply.

Wake to birdsong and the scent of salt in the air. Surrounded by apple trees, wild roses and daily visits from deer, relax on the deck, surrounded by trees and sky.

Inside, you'll find the Captain's Quarters, a spacious King Suite with a King bed and a double futon - great for kids or extra guests, and our cozy Lobster Loft bedroom featuring a lobster stained glass window. Our home comfortably sleeps up to 6 people and is equipped with 1 1/2 bathrooms.

Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, a dedicated complimentary coffee/tea bar, and thoughtful touches throughout - from bedside chargers to games, puzzles, arts & crafts, books, kayaks and a firepit under the stars.

Whether it's a romantic escape, a family trip, or time away with friends, Knotting Hill offers a warm, welcoming base for your coastal adventure.

It's the kind of peace you didn't know you needed, but won't soon forget. Come and experience it for yourself. Book your stay today and let the sea, the sky, and the warmth of Knotting Hill welcome you home.

What a wonderful place!

We spent 5 nights at this cottage and loved every second of it! It's located right outside of Mahone Bay and it is a short drive away from Lunenburg.The cottage itself was great - very roomy and extremely well appointed. My husband loves to cook and the kitchen had everything he needed (including a great selection of spices).We hope to come back to the area soon and will absolutely stay here again!

We came to Nova Scotia to find a property to purchase and it was so nice to come home every night to sweet Knotting Hill. Everything by was neat and orderly and comfortable and the owners so easy and helpful! They found us our realtor and she was also fantastic! 10 out of 10

The best stay we had during our maritime Adventures

The property is perfect; cosy and has everything you would need. The hosts were so responsive and even thought of our downtime with games and knitting supplies. The deers visited us every day and we were in love. Perfect location between Mahone Bay and Lunenberg!

Lovely! Will return!

We travelled from Ontario and were very impressed with the house and surrounding area. Close to Peggy's cove, Lunenburg/Bluenose and osk island. If in mahone bay try the chicken tacos at the mug n anchor. Watch for the deer from the deck at dusk, we saw them every evening!
