A Quiet Riverside Retreat with 2 Fireplaces

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and embrace the tranquility of nature in your very own 1-bedroom tiny home nestled on 2 acres of pristine land along a picturesque riverbank. This is not just a home; it's a lifestyle!

Heron's Rest year round cottage located on just over two acres of land beside one of the largest set of rapids of the Petite River. This quiet and private rental is just off the main road giving quick access to the wide range of local interest and activities. Its the perfect location for a romantic get away for two or a personal retreat. The house is fully equipped with a fridge, stove, dishwasher and laundry facilities. It will sleep 2 in the main bedroom queen sized bed. The large deck which overlooks the river is accessed off the kitchen and includes a BBQ and outdoor dining facilities. Guests can enjoy a quiet evening on the deck listening to the river and watching the stars or build a bonfire in the riverside fire pit.

This is a charming cottage with a large deck overlooking the rapids. You will enjoy the sound of the river from the house. It is cozy and comfortable.

Located just 1.5 hours from Halifax, this is a wonderful community close to local beaches, steeped with history and full of charm. Petite Riviere is just a few minutes away and has a general store (complete with liquor store). Have one of their wonderful cups of coffee and enjoy a few minutes on the deck.

Please note that there is no public transit here. I prefer to send an information package out to my guests rather than use the site information system. The package comes about a week before their stay and covers all the information needed for their stay.

Pocket of peace
Heron’s Rest was the most lovely getaway and we cannot recommend it enough. The cottage has everything you need and some very unique pieces. The sound of the river lulls you to sleep and the fire pit chairs is such a relaxing space. The whole property is so beautiful. Sherry was communicative throughout and made the experience so smooth. We can’t wait to get back!

Beautiful location
The location of the cottage was exactly as we hoped. The rapids were audible and soothing. Unfortunately, the firepit was closed and that was something we were really looking forward to enjoying. We encountered the host when we first arrived and the next day while they worked around the property. All in all, it was a nice stay but it wasn't exactly as we had hoped based on the listing.

Perfect couples getaway
The cottage is quaint, clean and has a very comfortable bed. Kitchen has all the essentials. Grill is nice and the knives are sharp! Garden is delightful. We were lucky enough to meet the owners and they are lovely humans. Rissers beach is nearby for quiet walks. Other sights are within 30-60 minutes drive. Weather was delightfully cool in August. Highly recommend!!!

Stunning Property
What a beautiful and completly private property !!! such love and care has gone into this place, it was immediatly apparent from the moment we arrived. The weather was gloomy and rainy during our stay but what a lovely place to be hunkered down in the rain. The cottage is clean, cozy, warm and inviting, with everything you would ever need. Again... the love, attention to detail and care of this space is obvious. The gardens ... just wow !!! Strolling through the pathways when the rain was light was medicine for my soul. Lovely flora in a perfectly natural setting. Stunning ! The pathways and rest areas at the river were amazing and well thought out with several viewpoints to enjoy. The flow of the water was exhilarating with lots of bird activity to watch; swallows, ducks, massive bald eagles and we were lucky to see the inredible Heron, all thriving from the river. We will absolutly return, our next stay will definitely be a longer one so we can have more time to enjoy this wonderful space. Next time I hope to have great weather so we can enjoy that comfy looking hammock.
