Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Porters Lake

We had a lovely weekend get away stay. The dome had all the necessities as well as a sauna. Lots of wildlife too.

We had a great stay. A beautiful location, a very nice cottage, well appointed. Jordan was proactive prior to check in, and the communications were very clear.

5 star rating, from communicating with Susan, to her accommodation’s to ensuring we had everything we needed. Very friendly host. Very comfortable accommodation’s and the place was spotless. About a 20 minute drive to downtown Halifax. Would definitely highly recommend this Air B&B.

Another great stay. The kitchen has all the amenities you would need. The place is clean and welcoming with comfortable beds, lovely big bathrooms. But the best part of the stay are the evenings out on the deck watching the ever changing views across the Minas basin over to Cape Blomidon where the setting sun provides spectacular sunsets every evening and if you’re lucky you’ll catch sight of the bald eagles that live nearby

A perfect base for exploring Halifax but away from the noise and bustle. Emma is a lovely person.

Kelly & Doris were so accommodating, and helpful. We had the absolute best time during our stay. The property is stunning, and very well kept. Our children loved having the playground across the pond to play at. Waking up there every morning was so peaceful. We will cherish the memories we made at this private little oasis.

My son had the pleasure of staying in Derek and Doreen's beautiful place for over a month. The home had everything he needed and more! It was an easy distance to the airport where he was working, yet nestled in a tranquil, woodsy area; so peaceful yet with all the amenities necessary nearby. The home inside was even better than the pictures: modern, spacious, and comfortable. We couldn't be happier with the stay. Thank you so much to this lovely couple for providing such a fantastic stay! 😊

Overall nice stay at Pete’s. His house was full of charm and character, and his artwork kept my parents amused during our stay! Plenty of kitchen and bath supplies for my family of 4, as well as very comfy beds! Only thing missing was a vent for the stove, but easily solved with opening the windows. Would recommend!

We had an amazing stay!

Awesome location. Very nice cabin -clean, quiet, comfortable. Host were awesome people - so easy to deal with, and very accommodating. Perfect getaway spot.

We had 7 people travelling together and this place had all the room and amenities we needed. Big kitchen to cook in, great common area to relax in together and a fabulous view of the lake. It was early in the season so too cold to use the pool but it looked like it would be great. Thanks for having us!

The cottage in Hubbards was ideal for our stay. My daughter loved the little playground behind. Everything was clean and it was an extremely relaxing stay. Thank you for your great place and kind discussions whenever we passed each other during the days!

PAM &J.P on été extraordinaires. Nous avons été ravis par notre séjour et sommes tombés en amour avec la Nouvelle-Ecosse. Les animaux étaient un extra inattendus. Gustave va beaucoup s’ennuyer de Maple. Petit commentaire QUI N’EST PAS UNE CRITIQUE. Le réfrigérateur n’est pas très grand alors, ne pas faire une trop grosse épicerie à chaque fois. Nous sommes arrivés avec trop de choses et tout ne rentrait pas. Mais encore une fois ce n’est pas grave. Il y une épicerie pas tres loin. Ça se fait très bien. Faut juste pas prévoir trop longtemps d’avance si vous avez une grosse famille comme la mienne. La piscine est extraordinaire!!!!! Près de pleins de belles plages . Nous avons passé un super beau moment en famille!!!

we absolutely loved our stay in the cottages! We were able to use a lot of their amenities, Kayaks, boat, pool.. it was so much fun and we made some great memories as a family! Thank you to Katelyn for the great cottage and customer service, we hope to come back again :)

Lovely space and a welcoming host. Thanks Laura

Sure! Here's a review-style version for you: "I had an incredible stay at Gary’s Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, Gary was the perfect host—fun, welcoming, and attentive. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful views of the lake that made every morning feel special. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the comforts of home. But what really set this stay apart were the activities. There were so many indoor and outdoor options—whether you wanted to kayak, hike, or just relax by the water, this place had it all. Gary went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and his energy made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a peaceful, fun-filled getaway with a fantastic host, this is the place for you. Highly recommend!"

It was a perfect quick stop over for a hockey game. It served our needs perfectly and we would definitely stay again.

Second time perfect for what we need

Sifat and Sana were such great hosts! So prompt to respond to any questions we had. They ensured that we were comfortable and the stay felt very safe! We absolutely will book again next time we’re in Halifax for a visit. Excellent accommodations!

Great location! Lots of places to walk, public transportation also close by. Very clean tidy spot that’s feels like home! 🙌🏽

Caroline’s suite was spacious and beautifully decorated with elegance and simplicity. The walls were lined with an extensive library and games/toys available for children. The bed was comfortable and kitchenette stocked with coffee/tea and snacks. The gorgeous gardens were displaying their spring gloryand viewable from the comfortable sitting area. I enjoyed the resource books on the area’s geology and the tidal bore was amazing and nearby. The trails brought us around the garden and through the woods to the river- another tidal bore viewing area and home to family of bald eagles. Caroline was a thoughtful and attentive host who left a bouquet of fresh blooms including bleeding hearts to welcome us🥰 Our one night stay was not long enough.

We stayed for 6 months and it was absolutely wonderful! There were lots of beaches and trails nearby to take our dog. The views were amazing! We even saw a seal once! The apartment was beautiful as well, especially the kitchen (as someone who loves to cook and bake it was perfect!) It's the perfect distance from Halifax if you don't like the bustle of a city but still want to do some sightseeing if you don't mind driving a bit! Overall we loved every part of our stay :)

Great helpful host and a really cool little suite. Id stay here again for sure. All the stars!

Scott and Lauren were fantastic hosts! They we incredibly helpful and friendly and went above and beyond for us during our stay. The house and the backyard are beautiful. The area is peaceful. Easy access to gorgeous beaches.
