Cottage vacation rentals in Guysborough County

We booked super last minute so we could stay longer in town to visit my grandparents - we were beyond pleased with our stay! We had asked the host if there was any stores near by as we weren’t familiar with the area just to grab the kids some hot dogs but nothing was close nor near by and the host actually came down with hot dogs, buns and ketchup for my kids! Such a sweet gesture!!! The cabin was adorable - above expectation! Will definitely book again!

Simona and Sorin's place is a real gem. The pictures don't do it justice. It's such a beautiful open space and was absolutely immaculately clean. The views were beautiful and the surroundings are so peaceful. The house is very well appointed with everything you would need and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here. The details in the house were very much appreciated, like really nice linens and a well stocked kitchen. The hot tub is also a bonus. We enjoyed sitting in there in the evening and soaking in all of the surroundings.

Beautiful location and beautiful cottage. Pristine condition and everything a person needs to settle in. We came prepared with our own items but they have provided many things. It is set up to have an experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Get some lobster and relax!

I would highly recommend. Kristy's place. It is very private with your own access to the lake. There is lots to do with canoes, lifesjackets, and washertoss games available. Or you can just relax on the back deck and enjoy the view.

Absolutely lovely place! Had a wonderful stay.

Situated meters from the water, our cabin was a perfect couples get away. Thoughtfully appointed, extremely clean and above all very private. Although there are a couple of cabins on the property, there never was a time where we felt the presence of others. The hot tub privacy and views are amazing, and our hostess was very responsive. Above all, definitely a stay we want to do again. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone wanting to experience a natural and private couples retreat.

Our stay was fantastic! The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We had to check in at their charming pub nearby, which caught my eye with its beautiful exterior. It was undergoing renovations and we couldn’t dine in, but the hosts kindly offered us takeout. The food was delicious, and they even hand-delivered it to our Airbnb, which was a nice touch! The view from the cottage was amazing, and nothing beats enjoying it from the hot tub. I have no complaints at all! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.

This place is amazing, we stayed for 5 days and we really enjoyed our time there. The cabin has everything you need both as features like the jacuzzi, the small cabin near the lake, the lake, but also in the kitchen and rooms. The cabin is also at a good location to explore cape breton and the antagonish area, which has really good hiking trails.

Cute cottage with a fabulous view of the water. We found it peaceful, clean and comfortable. The nearby beach is stunning. Our host was friendly and helpful.

Very nice and cozy place . Wish we had more time in the area. Hope to make it this way again someday.

Super laid back area, lots of room in the backyard if you were to travel with kids or pets! Super open concept and was super homey

Beautiful views steps from the shoreline, then onto a walkable path to island at low tide. Close to Tors Bay and New Harbor and many outdoor adventures. Very cozy cute cottage that is like going back in time. Bring books and pack groceries and listen to the turntable and old vinyl that Lori has provided. Go raibh mile maith agat.(Thanks a million) Le meas,(kind regards) Lawrence

Enjoyed spending time with family at the cottage-cozy, well stocked kitchen and comfortable furniture and beds. Sarah is very responsive and helpful - will no doubt return!

Loved the location and the home was very clean and tidy. All the conveniences were there and we found the home comfortable. The only negative thing I could even mention would be related to the heat of the home in the living room. Of course, my buddy and I are both seniors and perhaps we are to use to a warmer environment. It's likely an age thing but after contacting Moira, we corrected this very quickly...Overall a very great spot and I recommend it to anyone....Moira was very pleasant to deal with...

We were super comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was there and the place was so beautiful and clean. The property and the view is absolutely stunning

Jody’s place was perfect for a one night stay along our road trip. Very peaceful and quiet surroundings. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the trails on the property due to it being bug season but the quick walk to the brook at the back of the property was lovely (loved watching and listening to the resident raven family!) Jody was the most friendly and responsive host. Most Airbnbs have excessive cleaning rules but Jody really made us feel spoiled and helped us feel like we’re on a true vacation. Overall, a very clean rustic little cottage in a very quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend as a stopover spot if travelling through the area.

What a wonderful place! We had such a lovely time and did not want to leave. The property is gorgeous all around and the view is absolutely spectacular. It’s quiet and peaceful with lots of space yet still close to amenities. The cottage is beautiful inside too - it’s very clean, cozy and comfortable. The hosts and property manager are incredible with excellent communication. Every aspect of our stay was delightful and we would love to return!

Marcie is a responsible and well-communicating host. Calm and private location, amazing nature, great fishing spot. Recommend!

Super cosy, very comfortable spot! Wished the fireplace worked, but was very warm even without it

Beautiful place!! Very calming and relaxing perfect for a getaway. Went above and beyond with all the little details

Couple, 1 night, June 2025 A charming house, bright and cheerful. Very cosy, with books, DVD and LPs. Extremely quiet place, a bit out of the way; Sherbrooke (a grocery store in the village) about 15 km away. Comfortable beds. The bedrooms upstairs have a slanting roof which might be a bit awkward for tall persons. Well equipped kitchen. We did not meet Jake, alas. Would be great to stay longer!

Our stay in the house with our 2 kids and dog was wonderful. The kids loved searching for sea glass on the beach across the road and playing games in the large yard. Neighbours were friendly and helped us secure dog-sitting services for a day from a friend of theirs only 10 minutes away. Pondville Beach was a short drive and the kids were able to see large lobsters beside the pier. The quiet location, big yard, and pet-friendly beaches nearby made it an ideal spot for us. We got to meet our host, and he was able to provide info on the area and surrounding communities. Listing was as described in the ad.

We had a great stay. Very comfortable and clean. Felt right at home. Did not want to leave. Would highly recommend Gloria’s place.

Just an amazing place to honeymoon. The local kayaking was awesome. The town of Sheet Harbour was very welcoming and friendly. Will be back
