We had a wonderful time. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly. They send suggestions of places to visit that we followed up on and they met our needs for exploring the area. We felt right at home and were very comfortable in this beautiful house. We would strongly recommend The August House to all our friends and family.

The August House is a gem! Beautifully redone centennial building with perfect modern touches. Several common livingrooms, record player, long dining table for eating or work, large common dining room with homemade quick breakfast. Extra large parking lot beside the house, easy entrance access, front steps were decorated for fall, our room was cozy and perfect for our needs. I loved that there was a small kitchen area with fridge, coffee maker, dishes for our use. Intamite touches upon arrival made us feel special (personalized note and delicious shortbread cookies). Any questions we had were answered right away. I will be staying here every time I come to the area (we were visiting Wolfville). It is worth every penny ❤️
