Open Concept

 Designed for connection, our South Shore cottage rental features a bright, open-concept kitchen and living area—the heart of the home. It’s a fabulous place to gather with family and friends while taking in expansive views of the Atlantic and the surrounding Nova Scotia forest. While this private vacation home is an intimate 1,000 sq. ft., the clever design and expansive wall of windows make it feel incredibly spacious. It’s the perfect family-friendly retreat for those seeking comfort, modern design, and a quiet escape near Lunenburg.
