Cottage vacation rentals in Hants County

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time. The cabin is very private and yet only a five minute drive to the town of Alma and some great restaurants (we highly recommend the Muddy Rudder). Great hiking trails nearby in the national park as well. It was paradise. Completely surrounded by trees and the sounds of all the little birds. The cabin has absolutely everything you would need and more and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub. Would highly recommend the cabin.

The cabin was delightful and very well equipped- it had everything we needed and more! The hot tub was great way to start and end the day. No complaints.

We had a lovely stay at Melanie's cottage. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had absolutely everything that we needed. (bottle of wine was a nice touch) Melanie was very responsive to our questions and responded right away. The cottage is on a busy street but is relatively quiet when you are on the beautiful front deck. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area.

As described. Lovely spot. Quiet. Beautiful view and peepers lovely to fall asleep too

the cottage was perfect. clean and comfortable. the area and views were beautiful. the hot tub was excellent. The hosts were superb. They were very proactive, checking to see if we arrived and if we needed anything. the instructions for everything were in a binder and very clear and easy to understand. we are already talking about returning next year.

Joseph’s place is a charming cottage situated a short drive from downtown Halifax, extremely close to grocery stores. It sits on a picturesque cove with unobstructed views of the rugged landscape and water. The cottage has every amenity one could want, including a hot tub. My husband and I enjoyed sharing a glass of wine under the stars while listening to the waves crashing on the rocks. Our family enjoyed sharing time together in the living areas and preparing a meal together in the well equipped kitchen. The beds were incredibly comfortable! We wish we had stayed longer to enjoy all the hiking trails and sightseeing in the area.

This adorable and extremely well laid out cottage was fantastic. Lots of room, beautifully decorated and very comfortable and inviting. Also a beautiful location and very relaxing. Cant wait to go back

Herring Hole was a beautiful choice! You can’t go wrong! From spacious surroundings, to cozy decor and an inviting deck overlooking the bay, to a genuine experience of a small coastal fishing village, this place checked all the boxes!! It’s about a 25 minute drive to Halifax but the scenery is beautiful so time travels by quickly! We would book this place again without any further thought! Kim even had freshly ground coffee available for our morning coffees on the deck!

Jennie's place was fantastic! it was well stocked, very clean, beautiful and really felt like a retreat. we don't often return to the same rental but would definitely come back again! recommend for a family get away or a group of friends.

It's a beautiful cottage and well equipped. It was absolutely spotless with some very nice touches, e.g. spare slippers, plenty of dog blankets and towels, an outside hose, loads of towels available, laundry detergent, outside laundry lines....There's plenty of green areas around so our dog could freely chase her ball. Myrtle quickly addressed all questions and issues. The local beach is only a couple of kilometres down the road, but with a stroller and a dog it was more convenient to drive rather than walk. We initially struggled to find the place, but it's at the far end of the village when coming from Parrsboro. Overall, it's a lovely place and we would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay, the place is special. We had deer come right into the yard and the fireflies, at night, in the back field, was an unexpected and fantastic experience! Thank you so much, we cant wait to come back!!

We had an excellent stay. Close to all the amenities, clean, great view of the river. Chis and Jen were great to deal with. Hopefully we’ll be back next year ;)

This was the perfect rustic get-away! The kids had so much to do, and mom and dad had lots of space to relax. The diving dock was a hit (even in the cold) and kayaks were awesome! The boat washroom at the beach was such a nice touch and was super clean, the beach toys and kids toys in the cabin were great. I’m so thankful to have had an affordable place to unplug with my family- Thank you Keith and Sarah!!

If you like peace and quiet and are also into hiking & biking this location has it all. The Cape Split trailhead is walking distance and Blomidon Provincial park and its lookouts are not far away. Walk can I say about the cycling. In the daytime the roads are dead quiet with traffic (everything ends at Cape Split) and it's serious hill climbs in the area. There are also wineries to visit for those who like the "sip & cycle" rides. And of course the Scots Bay tide was a marvel to behold. Head down to the water's edge via Wharf Rd. for a walk at low tide. As someone else commented, the prices for meat & seafood at Sam's groceries in Canning are very reasonable. Our accommodation was spotless and well appointed. It was true to it's pictures and description. The hot tub really helps with the rejuvenation after hiking & biking. We would definitely stay again and further explore the area.

One of the best, probably the very best, Airbnb we stayed in. -Fantastic location and views -Nicely furnished -The best equipped place we've ever stayed in (aside from the lack of laundry facilities which we did not need). The kitchen was especially impressive in this regard. -One of the few hosts who shares our view (we are hosts ourselves) that food does not all have to be thrown away after each guest so there were lots of staples and such in the kitchen. -Janette as a pleasure to communicate with and responded almost immediately. Highly recommended.

Ian's place was exactly as described. Everything was wonderful. Was peaceful and relaxing and they communicated when we had one small.ossur and came out and fixed the problem with a hour. The house was in easy driving from a lot of tourist places which was great. Thanks so much for sharing your place with us.

I stayed at Lauren's place for 7 months and it felt like home the whole time. Whether I was swimming in the lake in the summer, enjoying a cozy fire during the fall or skating on the frozen lake in the wintertime, Lauren's place was a warm, inviting and welcoming spot for my daughter and I to have called home. Lauren was always proactive and responsive with communication, and the neighbors are super nice. I would absolutely stay there again.

We had an awesome stay — it is a beautiful home, very clean, with everything you need for the stay. It is a beautiful private location on a lake, very peaceful and relaxing. Danny and Lynn were super responsive to all my messages, and everything was as stated in the listing. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cabin with plenty of room, a stunning view, and decent amenities. Absolutely no complaints.

This place was incredible! Close enough to Halifax to enjoy the city but remote and quaint to enjoy the seaside life. The accommodation was very well stocked with coffee, milk, bread, treats! Highly recommend!

I have stayed at many Airbnbs.. This surpassed all of them ! what an amazing experience. Extremely great hosts and we look forward to coming back !

We planed a last minute trip to visit Nova Scotia. Originally from surrounding areas, but moved to Ontario and haven’t been back for many years. This cottage was perfect for all our needs. Had everything we needed and then some. The host was extremely responsive. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your cottage.

Very well planned out two story cottage with all the amenities. Property is ocean facing with incredible views and easy access to the beach at low tide. Depending on the time of year it can be quite blustery - pack a sweater and you are all good. You’re a 15 minute walk into Hall’s Harbour and the best lobster dinner for miles. Sonia was very responsive.

Rob’s lakeside cottage was beautiful! The cottage was well equipped and very clean. The outdoor space included a stunning stone patio, a fire pit and water equipment ( paddle board and floats) to enjoy the beautiful lake.
