Cottage vacation rentals in Annapolis Valley

Danny and Lynn's property was everything we hoped for and then some. Exceptionally clean and tidy with beautiful appliances and all new comfortable furnishings and accessories. We loved the view of the lake and the hot tub was a wonderful treat. We all agreed we would love to visit again. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing.

The Blue Whale gave us a perfect vacation! Becky was a very responsive and kind host, and her place has everything we needed to be comfortable and have an easy trip with 2 young kids. The kitchen is very well stocked, the beds are super comfy, and the TV's were easy to use. There are so many thoughtful touches in the clean and neat house that make it special, such as robes for the hot tub, a detailed info book, and games and activities for the kids. And bonus - we loved the view of the sea caves! We cannot wait to return.

Spent another great weekend this Easter at Kayla’s . Super weather to go for long walks on the county road . This is the perfect private hideaway with an amazing view . Super clean and comfortable. The only downside was having to leave !

Mark's place was lovely! I and a group of 7 adults came here for a getaway. The pellet stove was super nice and easy to use and the hot tub was just as relaxing. Overall we didn't have any issue with the hot tub only fitting 6 as usually we didn't all want to use it at once anyways. Some of us found that the beds were even more comfortable than our beds back home and the place felt well put together. Surroundings were beautiful, peaceful and private with lots of outdoor seating. We also made use of the outdoor games that were available! The kitchen had everything we needed.Mark was also a fantastic host and responded to us within 10 minutes when we had any questions. Overall would definitely return!

Jennifer’s place is exactly as shown in the pictures. Beautiful home and the surrounding woods and trails were amazing. Highly recommend and we will be back!

My friends and I had a wonderful stay. The host was very responsive before and during our stay, to accommodate our requests and make sure we were comfortable. Also gave us recommendations on places to visit around the area. The house was clean and tidy and just what we needed for our getaway, and the hot tub was big plus! Highly recommend.

As someone who grew up in the Valley, I’m always on the hunt for those magical little getaways that feel like home—but better. We found just that in this Scots Bay getaway! It checked every single box for our family: peaceful vibes, breathtaking ocean views, a bubbling hot tub and easy-peasy access to Cape Split—perfect for hiking with our adventurous 5-year-old and our equally energetic pup. The place was spotless, super cozy, and our hosts were absolute rock stars when it came to communication. You can tell they’ve put a lot of heart into creating a welcoming space. Only tiny suggestions from a seasoned weekender: a few board games would be a lovely touch for rainy evenings, and an air fryer would be the cherry on top (but we usually BYO for longer stays anyway🤣). The hot tub? Glorious. A pergola over it would make it even more perfect for stormy soaks or cozy winter dips. All in all, we loved every moment and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

My girlfriends and I loved Kim's place. I had been there about 3 years ago. Another friend of mine booked the spot the year my son passed away and it was the perfect spot to get away for a couple of days. We're going to try and get back there again. It is definitely a perfect spot to forget about day to day life.

The location was so beautiful and quiet! The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of seating inside and outside. The one amenity that we missed was a dryer but the portable washer worked well. The host was very communicative and we felt like we get got a great bargain. Even though I came from the west coast, I got up at sunrise each morning and it was memorable!

Beautiful location, great beach for rock collecting with low tide. Socal table restaurant was very close and delicious. Not far from Lobster Pound which we enjoyed. Cottage is rustic, initially not sure about the outdoor shower as the weather was cool but it was worth the experience. We kept the wood stove going as it was cool the first night. Not your typical Airbnb stay, but worth it!

Our stay was wonderful and the location/property is ideal for a relaxing getaway. We didn't get to use the rec room, but made ample use of the hot tub which was very nice to relax in. Quiet space and the screened in portion of the back deck is great for spending some evening time under the stars without the hassle of bugs.

This private accommodation was just as described and exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen was well equipped (ample supply of dishes, glasses pots/pans & some food provisions to start the stay), clean and comfortable to work in. The view was exceptional (we were very lucky with the weather!) and the clear, dark night sky was spectacular. The bed was comfortable and roomy, with high quality linens. The jet tub was very relaxing. The warmth from the wood stove made the whole place cosy... great for reading a good book with a glass of 🍷. Thanks for sharing Myrtle!

I had a lovely stay at David and Nancy's cottage. The cottage was roomy, spotlessly clean and fully equipped (the kitchen had a few items in it that I don't even have in my own kitchen). It was comfortable and convenient and David and Nancy were responsive, kind and generous. I would definitely stay with them again the next time I am in Hubbards. (I'd come back just for Nancy's homemade chocolate mints!)

Super clean and cozy place! Has everything that you need. Host was extremely friendly and responsive!

This was such a lovely dog friendly getaway! The cottage was perfectly cozy and with great amenities like the sauna. The daily breakfast just made it all that much better. Look forward to going back!

This was our second stay and we’ve already decided this is the place we want to go next year for our annual gathering. Beautiful views of the lake, fully stocked cottage, friendly hosts.

We were looking for a quiet place near Annapolis Royal yet out-of-town, and we found it. The trips to surrounding towns, restaurants, and tourist sites were easy and there was little traffic. Although not all the rooms in the cabin have been fully renovated yet, Patrick thoughtfully provided comfortable furnishings, and there were many 'homey' touches that we appreciated, like adequate lighting in each room, good quality linens and towels, and flowers on the table. We enjoyed the well-supplied kitchen, great shower, and deck for relaxing, outdoor breakfasts, and views of Milbury Lake from the private beach. Patrick was a responsive host and made sure we arrived safely and had everything we needed.

I arrived feeling exhausted after a long drive from the USA. But, what a great place to land in Nova Scotia! I slept like a baby in a very comfy bed. The surroundings are beautiful--tucked amidst trees and overlooking the waters of La Have river- I found a little piece of paradise here. The cottage itself is charming. A well stocked kitchen including treats from the La Have bakery. Can't resist that! Joe is such a friendly and kind host. I appreciated that he was always quick to respond to any questions. He can tell you about all the sights and restaurants in the area. My favorite was Cresent Beach about a 15 minute drive--what a place to walk your dog and experience the ocean. I highly recommend staying here!

Very clean property and Beautiful views across the bay. Very quiet and restful.

Justin was an amazing host for the extended length of time we stayed at his place. Would highly recommend!

What a gem! Has everything you need. Clean, quiet and just a perfect getaway. Will be back next season!

We honestly couldn't believe how beautiful and pristine the property was, the picture's don't do it justice! We ended up arriving later on in the evening, so seeing the water and views in the morning was breaking! The place was so cozy, and had absolutely everything you would need. We absolutely recommend this place to everyone, with a few of us already dreaming of another getaway here!

We absolutely loved our weekend getaway at the cottage. The place was spotlessly clean and cozy and had all the amenities you could possibly need. The place is very private and we got to enjoy the kayaks and a lovely bonfire under the stars. The hosts are very accommodating, friendly and responsive. This is one of the nicest AirBnBs I have stayed at and we are already planning to come again next summer. Highly recommended!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house. The property is absolutely stunning—immaculately landscaped, with a spacious lawn leading right to the lake and a lovely sandy beach. The grounds were ideal for families, with lots of room for the kids to run, play, and even ride their bikes on the hard surface areas. In the evenings, the adults enjoyed gathering around the fire pit—it was the perfect spot to unwind. Inside, the home was just right for our large family gathering. We had four couples and five little ones, and the space worked beautifully—comfortable, open, and thoughtfully laid out for both togetherness and relaxation. Caitlin was a fantastic host—so easy to communicate with, warm, and responsive. The whole experience felt more like being welcomed into someone’s home than staying in a typical rental. It was charming, cozy, and truly special. We’re already looking forward to the chance to return!
