To keep the cottage as a calm, quiet sanctuary, it does not have a TV or dishwasher. Pets may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis. Please inquire for more details.

Host your next family gathering at Rose Cottage where there is lots of space to spread out and where you can make great memories.

The Space

There is a queen bedroom and a twin bedroom downstairs and a closed-in sun porch with a door, double bed, and blinds all around for privacy. Upstairs there is a queen bedroom with a seating area and wood stove, and a kids bedroom with two bunk beds. Two full bathrooms, one brand new with lovely soaking tub for after beach relaxation or washing up sandy kids.

The Area

Welcome to wine country! Quick access to Wolfville and Acadia University is only 20 minutes away. Visit the plethora of wineries, cideries, breweries, and distilleries nearby. Enjoy the excellent farmer's market on Saturday mornings and find locally made crafts, organic vegetables, meats, baked goods, and prepared foods. Walk around the quaint village of Wolfville for unique shops, cosy patios, and high quality restaurants. Check out the look off for an amazing view of the valley (and for an ice cream!) or head to Hall's Harbour for the freshest lobster you've ever tasted. Tons of adventures to be had right near by.

The Beach

Kingsport Beach is just a 5 minute walk down the street. Walk as long as you want on the bottom of the ocean at low tide to see amazing formations in the red sand. Find crabs and hermit crabs. And see if the cows are grazing oceanside. So much to explore and so many secret spots to discover. At high tide, explore via canoe and cliff jump into the ocean. Make sure to check your location first at low tide to ensure your safety. Then grab an ice cream at the wharf and enjoy the views.

Day Tripping

Great central location to jump off to South Shore locations such as Lunenburg, Chester, and Peggy's Cove. There are also many other Bay of Fundy locations such as Annapolis Royal for the historical forts and quaint village, and Digby for scallops and whale watching (all about 1-1.5 hours away). Spend the day in Halifax experiencing the great restaurants, museums, and other cultural attractions in about an hour's drive. So much to do and see from this quiet and peaceful location.
