Mallard on Church Lake Accessible Lakefront AFrame

Les TylerRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Our stay at Mallard at Church Lake was fantastic! The A-frame design is stunning with beautiful decor throughout. The kitchen setup was perfect, and we loved using the outdoor grill for lakeside meals. As birding enthusiasts, we added many new species to our Life List and learned fascinating details about mallard duck behavior and life cycles. The location is a nature lover's dream. What really set this property apart were the excellent accessibility features (wheelchair ramp, no-threshold shower, seamless floor transitions, etc., which accommodated our disabilities. The hosts were communicative before and during our stay, making everything seamless. We enjoyed canoeing and paddleboarding during the day and incredible stargazing at night under clear skies. This property offers the perfect blend of comfort, accessibility, and natural beauty. We'd absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to other travellers, especially those needing accessible accommodations!

A panoramic view of the shoreline showcases a calm ocean under a clear blue sky. Smooth stones line the edge, leading down to the water, which reflects the sunlight. Small islands can be seen in the distance, creating a serene coastal landscape.

The Boathouse on Scotch Cove

DerekRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Absolutely perfect is how I would describe Kristine's place. Nestled in an ocean cove, the boathouse is clean, bright and extremely cozy. The woodstove was nice for the cool nights. Amazing views and access to the water. I didn't use the kayaks but I walked the beautiful trail at Graves Island Park which is a one minute drive from the boathouse. Grocery shopping is a few minutes drive to Chester. Easy driving distance to Lunenburg, Bridgewater and South Shore beaches. I let Kristine know ahead of time that I was towing a utility trailer and she made arrangements for me to park it at a nearby property. Thank you Kristine! Great host, great stay, great area. I did not want to leave but I will be back!

My favorite airbnb ever! So clean and comfortable and well-stocked, also really beautifully decorated. Private but also a convenient location. I loved greeting the animals at the farm next door every morning and hanging out on the beach or in the garden. Angie & Scott were super helpful and welcoming. I hope I can stay again!

Squatter Otter Inn

ColleenRating, 5 stars10 months ago

What a fun, cozy stay. The houseboat is just as described and perfect for two people. The shuttle taxi service from the marina is very helpful, but we found kayaking to and from the house much more adventurous. The views are outstanding, and the floor to ceiling windows makes you feel like you’re floating on the water. Beautiful. The bathroom facilities are very clean and easy to use. We were able to cook full meals in the small kitchen and patio BBQ. Would definitely recommend!
