Perfect spot to spend time with family

Emma’s Cottage was the perfect place, our entire family loved it. It was comfortable with all the amenities. We cooked family meals every night. Enjoyed the lake and the convenience of the location to every thing else on the South Shore. It’s even perfectly located to pop into Halifax for the day.Big thank you to Emma and her family for making us feel welcomed. We will return.

Amazing place with a view that you cannot beat. The host was very communicative and helped me make last minute arrangements for our family dog to join us. Even met me to return some items I left behind. Swimming was great, kayaking and canoeing were awesome, but you can’t beat sitting in the lounger on the dock watching the sunrise. Trust me, you’ll love it! Thanks Emma! We’ll be back.

There was 4 couples that stayed in the cottage. It was the most accommodating place. Very beautiful, quiet spot. Had everything you needed and then some. Emma was amazing. Went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Which it was. We appreciated the kayaks and canoe available. Had some great morning canoes on the peaceful lake. I highly recommend this cottage. As well as host Emma Thank you Glen, Trina and friends

We were here for family reasons. The property is at a perfect location

The property was very clean. The owner supplies you with everything you need. Lots of lovely teas and coffees, spices, condiments, even baking supplies, blueberries and ice. The home is spacious with everything you need and if you have children (we did not) there were lots of toys and activities. The lake is large and very clear. Highly recommend this property. Emma was very accommodating. The art work in the home is bright and cheerful as well.

Thanksgiving Blessings!

My family and I visited this wonderful property for an extended Thanksgiving weekend. It was wonderful! Emma is an amazing host - greeted us in person, left us fresh berries, garlic, coupons for ice cream at the nearby market, and made sure we had everything we could possibly need to prepare a big turkey dinner with all the fixings! She provides a huge selection of loose tea and delicious coffee, and spices galore. It was a fantastic place for family (from 2 to 87) to gather. We used the canoe and kayak to enjoy this pristine (and quiet) lake. It was a beautiful Thanksgiving, with memories to treasure! Thank you Emma!!

Beautiful property - perfect end to summer

Emma has everything covered at the beautiful home. The house is perfect with everything you need for a home from home stay. The Lake is beautiful , with great access and superb views. We stayed with another family and there was plenty of room to be together and apart. The children (8months - 12years) and the dog had a fab time in the lake, playing games and finding the best peaches on the peach each tree. We cannot wait for a return visit!

Perfect timing...and time to relax

We managed to book the cottage during a bit of a heat wave. It was wonderful to hop in the lake whenever we wanted to cool down, or just sit there in the shade and get lost in a book, or enjoy the surroundings. Emma was wonderful. She took the time to show us around and answer any questions we had. She pointed out many options in the area for activities or site seeing...but we never left the cottage...we had everything there that we needed! If we weren't outside enjoying the lake, there were plenty of spots within the home to hang out, relax and enjoy (especially since there was air conditioning). It was nice just staying cool. Also....if you like tea and enjoy birding this is the place to be. We must have seen (or heard) around 20 species of birds (the hummingbirds were a huge hit, along with the blue-headed and red-eyed vireos...not to mention the Eastern Wood-Pewee ...oh and the common loons)...and the tea selection was just as impressive:-). ..anyway...we enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. Thank you Emma!
