Vintage Lakehouse | WIFI | Parking | Waterfront | BBQ | Games | Private Dock

You Private Lakehouse is here for you to experience the tranquility of Dartmouth, the city of lakes. Nestled on 35,000 square feet of lush gardens with sparkling views of Lake Charles, this one-of-a-kind vintage home captures the peaceful energy of a simpler time.

Step back into the 1960s–70s in this retro retreat, lovingly preserved with period charm and quiet comfort. Whether you're gathered around the outdoor dining table, enjoying sunrise swims from the private dock (with easy-in ladder), or sipping tea on the deck, this home is designed for slow living, deep connection, and total relaxation.

Beyond the property, Dartmouth invites you to explore Atlantic Canada’s finest world-renowned seafood like fresh lobster, Digby scallops, local mussels, and oysters. Take a scenic drive to Peggy’s Cove, discover coastal trails and rolling hill hikes, or dive into the city’s rich history and growing pickleball scene. Here, every day brings a new adventure or a chance to do absolutely nothing at all.

Please note: This is a TV-light home by design, featuring one in the Rec-room along with our foosball table. We want to encourage our guests to truly soak in the experience enjoy the space, the amenities, and most importantly, the time spent with the people they’re with.
