Holiday rentals with lake access in Nova Scotia

Needing a home away from home to host family for our daughters graduation, Rebecca accomodated ALL our specific requests! The lake was so conveniently located and we all enjoyed, from morning walks, kayaking the hottub and even came across the house game options!

We enjoyed staying at Robert's fabulously decorated home. It is a unique home in a beautiful setting; it's not often we get to stay in a home with exotic birds, friendly ducks, and a dinosaur room. And Robert is an excellent host. It's a great location for seeing the area - many attractions within a 1-2 hour drive. We would stay here again if our travels bring us back to Nova Scotia.

Very cozy place! It was right by the water with a beautiful view. Very convenient as well. We were about a 30 minutes drive from Downtown Halifax. Ashley was very responsive and helpful. Beautiful place and amazing host! I'd stay there again. :)

If you like peacefulness, the sound of a river, beautiful surroundings, and a crackling fire in the evening, this place is for you. I came here with my son to fish the river and other nearby waters, and our only regret was that we didn't book it for a longer period. There's a General Store nearby if you need anything (including a NSLC outlet), or if you forgot to pack something (like I did) which saved me from driving any distance. Our host (Sherry) reached out to us to see if we found everything we needed, and was very helpful and informative. Would I recommend this listing, absolutely, without question.

My husband and I had a lovely time.the water was beautiful,we loved the deck swings.everything was very clean and tidy.good communication.

Our large family enjoyed a 5 night stay at the house and it is easily one of the nicest in our memory of AirBnB homes. There was lots of space for our group and the little kids loved exploring outside. We hosted some extra family one evening for dinner and found everything needed in the well appointed kitchen. The beds were very comfortable too! We loved everything about this home. It's little out of the city but that was ok for us. A memorable trip for us!

We had a fantastic weekend staying at Karen and Dan’s! This is the second time that we go as a group of friends to unwind and have a relaxing weekend together at their place. We loved having a campfire by the water and getting to use the hot tub. We look forward to being there again!

Great spot just outside the city, yet still close to amenities. House was VERY clean, clear instructions given and hot tub was perfect with the view of the lake. Kayaks were so fun and easy to set up off the dock. Definitely recommend.

Was exactly what we wanted, outside of the hub bub but close enough to the city to do everything we wanted to do.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! Everything was just wonderful - very comfy bed, delicious coffee, beautiful place and surroundings, even some sunshine showed up! We also really appreciated the bug spray, since we didn’t think of bringing any. We would definitely see if you have space, if we make it back your way!

Great location for our stay. Apartment was clean and spacious with most comfortable beds. Jin was easy to contact and responded to requests quickly. The lake was a bonus with dock for swimming and plenty of outside seating. We would definitely recommend for an enjoyable stay in Dartmouth!

Quaint place with updated furnishings and right on the water with cute swings on the deck. Jonathan was very helpful, responsive to questions and provided recommendations on local eateries and things to do. Much appreciated!

I was looking for a cozy private place close to my friends on PEI. This was my first winter visit after 50+ years of summer trips to camp. The Island is bracingly beautiful in winter, and no mosquitos or people! This place I chose to take refuge from the cold was above and beyond what I was looking for. Will and Brian are the loveliest humans. Friendly, super accommodating, respectful of your space yet responsive if you need anything. The place is spotless, tastefully appointed and the shower is the best! I was treated to a welcome package of eggs, honey, jam, syrup, bread, butter, milk and skin care products all from the Island. If you are looking for the whole Island experience this is the place. I have new lifelong friends. And if you like dogs, you will love their dog, Daisy!

I echo all other reviews - this place is a gem. Peaceful and spacious. Will be coming back soon 🌸

Victoria has created such a cozy and welcoming space with an absolutely gorgeous view. Everything is spotless and pristine, the bed was super comfortable, and she has provided all you need for a home away from home. We enjoyed meeting her very sociable chickens and were able to truly relax in between our runs into Halifax for fabulous food, and a quick trip to Peggy’s Cove. Although our stay was brief, we had a simply marvelous time. Thank you so much, Victoria!

This was the most amazing place. We spent a week here and Everything you needed or wanted was right in this place. The surroundings were peaceful, very inviting. Gillian checked in with us halfway through our stay to see if we needed anything. The beds were very comfy. The firepit is beautiful there was a fully stacked wood pile to use for the fire. There were lots of chairs all around to sit outside or out by the the dock. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Gillian and Scott for your hospitality.

Alway,s nice to be back ,relaxing on the patio with the view of the river and the quietness Makes the kw house very enjoyable,Dylan always ready to answer questions and ready to Help/

We had an excellent time at Birchwood. The cabin is cozy and clean and the property is well maintained. The location is incredible, right on a beautiful lake with lots of privacy. The owners are friendly and accomodating. Can't recommend enough.

We had a great stay, perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. Check-in was easy and all the info we needed was provided, the actual cabin had a nice covered in deck with chairs and a BBQ, inside there was lots of cups, plates and cookware provided; even some board games on top of the fridge worth checking out, along with kids books & adult books too, lots of extra blankets and a beautiful propane fireplace (and heat pump! + eclectic heat) so no worries of being cold haha. There's a nice park across the street from the Airbnb that'd be perfect for a summer picnic, plus a campfire spot with chairs next to the Airbnb, overall a nice spot and well kept.

This adorable and extremely well laid out cottage was fantastic. Lots of room, beautifully decorated and very comfortable and inviting. Also a beautiful location and very relaxing. Cant wait to go back

Beautiful location. The place was very clean. The beds were comfortable. Lots of supplies. Erin was very responsive and gave great instructions. Even though it rained all weekend we had a great stay. Can't control the weather.

We had an amazing stay! It was a beautiful house and property. Stunning views! Our host was friendly and helpful. We would recommend this lovely home! Until next time:)

Rob and Jacquie responded to our every question with professionalism and positivity. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed the lake the outdoor fire pit,the view, the kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed. We’re a mature, group of women that thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank Patty

Amazing retreat! Off the beaten path by a lot, and we loved it! Long dirt road to get there means it’s quiet and secluded. Beautiful home inside and out. Well appointed kitchen made dinners easy followed by long soaks in the pristine hot tub overlooking the lake. Could not ask for anything better!!! We didn’t need it, but there’s extras for your pets or small kids. They thought of everything.
