Wildrose Cottage is everything you could ask for and more for a home away from home. It is extremely well stocked, has wonderful amenities like a hot tub and sauna and beautiful outdoor set-up, cosily decorated inside and the bed and furniture were very comfortable. The location is perfect....half way between Halifax and Lunnenburg with Peggy's Cove and Chester/Mahone Bay in between. The hosts were very responsive and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back so we can watch those amazing sunsets again!

Nice family vacation house

We had a great time at Wildrose Cottage. It is located in a beautiful spot on a lake and is close to the highway. Grocery stores and restaurants are only 15 minutes away. The kitchen was well stocked. There was a large deck with a hot tub which was great. There was not many mosquitoes while we were there. It was so nice to be able to bring our 2 dogs with us on vacation. The gate on the deck was great to keep them enclosed.

Fabulous Retreat Cottage In Great Location

I really enjoyed the cottage. It was clean, light and well decorated. The hot tub and dry sauna and modern laundry machines were all added bonuses. The location was very peaceful and beautiful. Close to Halifax and several nice beaches and attractions. The hosts were wonderful too. I would love to visit again. Highly recommend this short term rental.

Ingramport Autumn 2023

We were very impressed with this lovely cottage in all respects. It was comfortable and clean, nicely set up with everything we needed. It is in a beautiful location, backing on a pretty lake where we enjoyed watching a blue heron fishing. The hot tub and backyard fire pit were much enjoyed by our group. Our hosts were very responsive and quick to answer our questions. A wonderful place for a holiday!

Second Home

This was our second visit to this lovely cottage. We found once again that it was well equipped and maintained. One of the best features is a large deck which made a great place to sit, read, play games, have a hot tub, or just sun yourself. Every night (when no rain), we had a nice fire in the firepit, with the wood provided. The area around is a beautiful part of Nova Scotia, no matter which direction you go. Thanks Andrea & Steve for another great vacation location.

Absolutely loved our stay. The house and property are well-maintained and well stocked. The location is beautiful and close to the highway. The property managers left easy to follow instructions and suggestions for places to see and go. The lake is great to swim in and you're a jump, skip or hop away from the ocean.
