Nova Scotia cottage rental

Peace and country quiet, but near lots of interesting places for days out.

The cottage is positioned on a peninsula of land which extends nearly 40 miles into the krill rich Bay of Fundy, which is world famous for whale watching. The peninsula is approximately 2 miles wide, so the fact that it is so near the ocean on both sides is not evident, especially as it overlooks a fresh water trout lake.

Hot summers, a short warm spectacular autumn and cold winters is the typical weather in this part of Canada being as far south as Burgundy in France.

Further down the peninsula are two picturesque islands which are dotted with fishing villages and secluded coves. The fishermen fish for lobster in the winter and take people on reasonably priced whale watching and deep sea fishing trips in the summer. A trip to the islands is an exciting day out in itself on the inexpensive Goverment run car ferries. The area is a true country lovers paradise and the pace of life is perfect for a relaxing break.

It has three bedrooms, a good sized kitchen, a dining room with a dining table to seat 6, a living room and den and a separate utility room with washing machine and dryer.

Attractions
There is lots to do in Nova Scotia and every time you turn a corner as you travel along the rocky sea coast you will be met with a different vista.

The province played an important part in colonial history and the loyalists were deported to Nova Scotia after the American war of Independence. Many of the descendents of the original families still live in the area and the cottage is situated on a sub division of one of the original grants of land which were quite often 100 acres in size.
