We stayed at the cottage in August 2025 (two adults, two teenagers).The cottage is tucked away in a serene corner 25 minutes beyond Halifax. The drive winds through picturesque scenery.Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with effortless access and the thoughtful touch of a meticulously prepared guidebook by the owner. Inside, every detail of the décor speaks of refined taste—an atmosphere where style meets comfort with grace. The chalet is not only generous in size but also impeccably maintained and fully equipped. The patio includes carefully curated outdoor piecesIt is, in every sense, a jewel of coastal living—sophisticated yet inviting, private yet welcoming.

Great cottage

This place was a lot bigger than we expected, great location, close to Halifax.Only thing that would have been nice, is a queen size bed in one of the rooms.

Ketch Harbour Cottage

The property is spacious and comfortable. It is rustic and interesting. The owner was thoughtful about provisions and necessities which was great considering it is rather remote. We were there during the horrific NS floods and the little house held her own during days of thunder storms! The power was out for eight hours but we found candles and a flashlight.We would book this unit again.
