*Rare* Luxury Lakefront: Mins from Downtown Bliss
Perfect location! We were in Halifax for a family wedding, and were able to get around so easily from here. Any free time was spent gazing out at the lake.. a very peaceful and serene retreat

The Creation Lounge Retreat - A Unique Gem!
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.

Gorgeous Oceanfront Estate in Peggy’s Cove
We were celebrating a 50th birthday with a spa day nearby. The 4 bedrooms was a dream! The house had all we needed and then some. The host was amazing from beginning to end. Responsive. Proactive. Friendly. We spent 2 stormy nights and we're cozy the whole time. Thanks for the great weekend.

4 Bedroom Cottage on the Lake
The spot was perfect for us, a great little cottage by the lake. The lake was gorgeous! Chris was very responsive for all of our changes in schedule and questions we had and even left us a little welcome gift of some snacks and drinks. It was incredible and we would stay there again! also it is much closer to Halifax than you think! Turn on tolls when looking because everyone uses the toll bridge and it's just 1.25$ at time of writing and it saves 20 minutes to get into Halifax!

Private Lakefront Escape|Swim, Sip Wine & Stargaze
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. :)

Dog Friendly 3 Bedroom Lake House Fenced-In Yard
Dave’s cottage was cozy, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay! We had the pleasure of seeing two different geese families and lots of ducks and loons, too. Our toddler loved all the toys and books and we enjoyed the gorgeous views and comfortable furnishings. We really appreciate Dave’s hospitality and great communication. All in all it was a visit!

Den of Zen
We have done a lot of traveling. This was our favorite AIRBNB ever. Its a bit of a trek outside the city, but if you are seeking peace and tranquility this is the ticket. The property is beautifully designed and has everything you need and more. The owners are excellent communicators. Although we try not to duplicate our trips (too much to see in this world) this would be one we'd consider. Too often you need a vacation from your vacation...not here.

The Evergreen
Absolutely gorgeous place, so peaceful and serene! Hot-tub area was honestly perfect. The weather wasn't the best during my stay but I was still able to enjoy the hot-tub with it being covered, and the lake is truly breathtaking in the rain.

A Beautiful LakeView Home for your stay
We had a wonderful stay at Jim and Heather's place. Their home was exactly as advertised and so much more. They are very kind and considerate hosts who provided us with excellent advice on where to eat and go in the area. Looking forward to visiting their home during my next stay in Halifax.

Tantallon House Tranquility Close to Amenities
What a beautiful place. It was perfect. It was clean and nicely decorated. The yard was so nice to just sit and relax. They made us feel right at home! I would go there again in a heartbeat!

Entire Rental Suite: Halifax
Great place

Lakefront 1 Bdrm Apartment
We needed space that was convenient to our relatives and this fit the bill exactly. I'm sure it would be even nicer in the spring/summer/fall with the lake views. We didn't really use any of the facilities except the bedroom/bathroom which were excellent . Good parking, good location.

Home away from home.
Beautiful basement suite with full kitchen, bathroom with toiletries, washer and dryer and a lounge room with streaming services and cable. Lovely setup with separate entrance for privacy, easy to find and easy instructions to get in. Snacks, juice and bottled water also provided. Would recommend. Only thing that would’ve been nice to have on hand would be a fan for the bedroom and a hair dryer, otherwise everything was great.

Scandi Coastal-Cozy 2BdRm. walkout basement
We stayed for a week at Treena’s place in Lakeview while visiting relatives in nearby Bedford, NS. We found the accommodations very nicely furnished, clean, modern, and well-equipped. The kitchen is small but functional and has most equipment one would need. The situation is very private and quiet, and we were able to use the wood stove, firepit, and gas grill. We found enough supplies like coffee pods, paper products, and dishwasher detergent to easily get us through the week. There are some lovely walking trails in the area, which feels more remote than it really is, but keep in mind that a car is necessary to get around. We would definitely stay again next time we Visit Nova Scotia.

Waterfront Escape
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!

Exquisite apartment
We had a wonderful stay at Oludayo's place! The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my visit. I highly recommend staying here!

Wilson's Coastal Club - C4
This place was a beautiful oasis. Our own personal spa experience. It was very special and I highly recommend it for anyone. The hot tub was heaven when it hit the right temperature. A perfect place for our family of 4 to reunite. Thankyou for your help answering our questions. All the best to you. We'd love to come back sometime. 🥰

Halifax cottage getaway
I had a wonderful stay here on my first trip to Nova Scotia. Maryanne's place was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring and site-seeing. It was a bit tricky to find at night, but Maryanne sent helpful directions and was overall very helpful and communicative. The scenery was gorgeous and the cabin was very cozy.

Bright & cheery 2 bedroom lakeside house
The cottage was exactly what we were looking for. Great communication great service. We were there longer than most, but it was a very comfortable cottage.

1 -bedroom Boat House with Hot Tub & Cold Plunge
Lucinda is your perfect Airbnb host. Most important is communication, responsiveness, and honesty, and she was always available. Very kind and thoughtful too. Her boathouse is so warm and cozy, views and deck right onto the water, and catches all the afternoon sun. It is beautifully decorated and furnished, and well stocked with the essentials in the kitchen if you are cooking. The hot tub was clean and functional - what a way to end each day! On top of all this, reasonably priced. Highly recommend

Wilson's Coastal Club - C8
My best friend and I stayed here with our kids and had a wonderful time! The view is amazing and we all enjoyed the wood fired hot tub very much. Plenty of bathrooms and space to hang out especially with two young kids. We would definitely book in again!

New Lakefront Luxury Cottage w/ Hot Tub
What a wonderful stay we had at the lake house! Coming from the US where the weather is already 95F, it was a fantastic way to beat the heat and spend time with family. Such a great location on the lake with peace and quiet (we live in large cities). The lake house itself is beautiful! Amazing glass windows give everyone the lovely views of Nova Scotia. The home is modern, spacious, and accommodated us all. Jolena is amazing! She’s responsive, friendly, and all around a lovely human being. We will be back!!

The Doucette Lodge Lakefront Paradise
We had a wonderful stay at Doucette Lodge. The setting is beautiful on Lake Echo and the home is lovely. We enjoyed the comfort of the home and all the amenities it offered. It is conveniently located near the hwy to both Dartmouth and Halifax and a 10 minute drive to the ocean. We have been there before and plan to return. Nicole and Peter are very friendly and helpful and make you feel at home. We would highly recommend this home to anyone who enjoys a peaceful surrounding and beautiful scenery. Thank you Nicole and Peter.

Lawrencetown Lakefront Cottage
Our group of 8 (plus a golden retriever pup) had an incredible stay at Stephen’s place. It was easy to find and checking in and out was seamless. The space was perfect for a larger group with all of the living spaces and seating, great for games and meals. We had all we needed in the kitchen for the group and even a welcome bottle of local cider. The outdoor space was great for our dog to run around and even get in a swim, a bonfire, and relaxing on the deck. A beautiful, homey place to stay inside and out. Stephen was quick to respond and accommodating to all of our needs! A perfect host!
