Escape to the Lake House

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews3 months ago

What a little gem! We booked late the night before, and arrived early afternoon to Cheryl's beautifully appointed walk out basement suite. She was quick to tend to our needs and friendly. The bed was super comfy and view was peaceful and relaxing. It was easy to kick back and settle in her space, & had lots of room for two adults. There were many thoughtful touches and we felt very well taken care of. Check out was delayed several hours as per Cheryl's generosity, and we took her up on it! Nice and close to Halifax, so if needing an escape, check it out.

Private Lakefront Guest Suite -2 bd Walk out

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 78 reviews7 months ago

The suite was open concept and beautiful inside. The boat dock on the lake was a wonderful place to sit in the morning with coffee. The bathroom was very nice. I would have liked a non slip rubber mat in the tub and grab bar on the side as the tub was a high sided tub. Over all we made out fine but my wife had to be very careful getting in and out of the shower as she has balance issues and walk with a cane. The master bedroom king bed was extremely comfortable. The 2nd bedroom has twin beds the were very firm but ok Galen was very pleasant to visit with and came twice to check on us. Much appreciated the attention. The nearest store(Sobeys) is about 5km away. The end culdasac and area is very quiet

Amazing lakefront house in golf course with Houtub

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews4 days ago

Doris’ place was excellent. The house and yard were beautiful, quiet and private with access to the lake. The place offered Something for everyone in our group (7 of us between the ages of 11 and 75 years) to keep entertained and relaxed. We had the best time and would love to stay again. The amenities were as described in the listing and she was a very responsive host!

Serene modern Lakehouse on Golf Course

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviews2 weeks ago

Absolutely loved our 12 nights stay at this stunning Airbnb in Halifax! We came as a group of 10 for my brother’s wedding and the house was beyond perfect. The place is massive, clean, elegant, and super private—ideal for a big family gathering. The ground floor living area became our favorite hangout spot, giving us unforgettable family moments. With 5 spacious bedrooms and a driveway that easily fit over 10 cars, we never felt crowded even when we hosted a dinner with friends. The host was outstanding—very responsive and helpful. We had a minor issue with a shower, and they quickly sent over a video to guide us through, which was incredibly thoughtful. Also, when we reported a small accidental damage, the host graciously waived it. That kind of support is rare. Advice for future guests: If you're planning a trip with family or friends, this is hands-down the best place to stay in Halifax. Gorgeous views, amazing walking paths, and everything you need—restaurants, groceries nearby

Jennifer is a SUPERB host. She was Sooo nice, always recommending things we could do to keep our family occupied, she’s a very pleasant person. We felt right at home in her spot, very clean clutter free and NOT to mention her going out the way putting up holiday decorations and a Christmas Tree for my 5 year old to enjoy her annual Canadian Christmas. It was like we had a fairy godmother always watching out for us. We appreciate that soo much.
