The house is a historical hunting cottage on the edge of Halifax and next to Long Lake Provincial Park
It is a 5-minute walk from Long Lake provincial park or 10 minutes by car to downtown Halifax. Do you prefer walking trails and swimming off the granite rock in lakes, streams, and ocean, 2000 hectares of forest, with a downtown core to explore? Then choose Halifax, the capital city of Nova Scotia, the undisputed start of Canada's Atlantic Coast with outstanding meals and great museums.
