Best kept secret in Nova Scotia

Amazing getaway in an authentic fishing village on the south shore of Nova Scotia. South Side Road is at the far end of Stonehurst South, minutes from the town of Lunenburg. Well protected from the wind, situated on one of many sheltered coves, this is an ideal location for kayakers, walkers, and cyclists. Direct ocean access means you are within steps of launching your kayaks, setting off to explore different nooks and crannies of the coastline, in a different direction each day. This is a traditional fisherman's house pre 1920, restored with charm and colorful, artistic atmosphere.

The house comfortably sleeps 5. It is child and pet friendly. A gorgeous bathroom with a claw foot tub, on the 2nd floor, invites a personal spa experience at home. A sheltered, outdoor hot water shower in the Cape Cod tradition, with south facing sunshine, awakens in you a celebration of embracing the great outdoors.

The house is filled with books, art, music, and the comforts of the soul. FIne linens and kitchen essentials are provided. A complimentary basket of locally roasted Laughing Whale coffee beans and delicious jams from the Lunenburg Farmers' Market await each guest.The kitchen is simple but extremely comfortable and cheerful. All the basics are there. Plus, we provide supplies of flour, sugar, oil, vinegar, spices, and tea. Free wireless internet access is available throughout the house.

This house was built by a fisherman who loved his charming community, and here you too will thrive in the intoxicating rustic charm of Stonehurst South. On the water is the original two story fish shack where the fishermen would clean and sell their catch. Unplugged, it is now an ideal spot for painting, reading, writing, relaxing, dining, all the pleasure in life. Two kayaks and a row boat are available for your enjoyment.
