Cottage vacation rentals in Nova Scotia

Beautiful spot out in Cape Forchu, almost the feeling like you're at the end of the world, which makes sense for the "World Directions" marker just a little further south on the island. All around an amazing, relaxing and peaceful stay, anyone looking to spend some time out in the Yarmouth area and wants a nice private spot to spend a few nights, this is what I'd recommend.

This adorable and extremely well laid out cottage was fantastic. Lots of room, beautifully decorated and very comfortable and inviting. Also a beautiful location and very relaxing. Cant wait to go back

such an amazing place for girls trip, cute and cozy place with amazing aesthetics. The surroundings were calm, and felt safe. Had all the essential amenities. everything was set for our arrival. Sara immediately sent the adress and instructions to my friend's phone upon request cause' my phone was dead on our way. The host was responsive and friendly. They gave detailed instructions about check-in and check-out.

lovely remote place to unwind

One of the best, probably the very best, Airbnb we stayed in. -Fantastic location and views -Nicely furnished -The best equipped place we've ever stayed in (aside from the lack of laundry facilities which we did not need). The kitchen was especially impressive in this regard. -One of the few hosts who shares our view (we are hosts ourselves) that food does not all have to be thrown away after each guest so there were lots of staples and such in the kitchen. -Janette as a pleasure to communicate with and responded almost immediately. Highly recommended.

I wanted a place to unwind and chill with my dog out of the city and this is the place. I really enjoyed the calmness. I cant wait to go back!!

I can summarize our experience in two words: absolutely fantastic! Every amenity you could need was there, the cabin was clean and tidy, and our host was excellent to deal with. Brendan was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed him. A great experience and we will definitely be back!

Great place ! Will definitely be returning. Thanks Gary!

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time. The cabin is very private and yet only a five minute drive to the town of Alma and some great restaurants (we highly recommend the Muddy Rudder). Great hiking trails nearby in the national park as well. It was paradise. Completely surrounded by trees and the sounds of all the little birds. The cabin has absolutely everything you would need and more and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We loved the hot tub. Would highly recommend the cabin.

We both needed to relax and unwind and that’s exactly what we did. This spot is perfect. The cottage is beautiful. We’ve been to quite a bit of Airbnb’s and I have to say this one was the cleanest we’ve ever been too. I highly recommend it. We are already talking of going back. Marco and Savannah are great hosts.

We had a lovely stay at Melanie's cottage. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had absolutely everything that we needed. (bottle of wine was a nice touch) Melanie was very responsive to our questions and responded right away. The cottage is on a busy street but is relatively quiet when you are on the beautiful front deck. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area.

the cottage was perfect. clean and comfortable. the area and views were beautiful. the hot tub was excellent. The hosts were superb. They were very proactive, checking to see if we arrived and if we needed anything. the instructions for everything were in a binder and very clear and easy to understand. we are already talking about returning next year.

I love this cute cottage. It was such a lovely location, very private but close to so many hikes. She also had a book with everything you need to know about the area (resturants, hikes, activities etc). So helpful for non locals. I highly recommend staying here and will stay here again myself. She also responded to messages right away which was a plus. Thanks again for a great place to stay.

Joseph’s place is a charming cottage situated a short drive from downtown Halifax, extremely close to grocery stores. It sits on a picturesque cove with unobstructed views of the rugged landscape and water. The cottage has every amenity one could want, including a hot tub. My husband and I enjoyed sharing a glass of wine under the stars while listening to the waves crashing on the rocks. Our family enjoyed sharing time together in the living areas and preparing a meal together in the well equipped kitchen. The beds were incredibly comfortable! We wish we had stayed longer to enjoy all the hiking trails and sightseeing in the area.

What a beautiful place to wake up in! The views are so peaceful. The stars at night seen while lying in the hammock on the top deck were beautiful ! Devon’s attention to detail in making Steel Away is evident throughout.❤️ This is a very comfortable place to stay, and I look forward to the opportunity of returning. I don’t want to forget to mention a fabulous hot tub!

Beautiful location. The place was very clean. The beds were comfortable. Lots of supplies. Erin was very responsive and gave great instructions. Even though it rained all weekend we had a great stay. Can't control the weather.

I appreciate the flexibility. I stayed there in the offseason, and when I asked to stay a little longer, it was no problem.

Very nice spot for a cute getaway! It was very private. Close to cute spots and touristic attractions. I totally recommend!

We had an awesome stay — it is a beautiful home, very clean, with everything you need for the stay. It is a beautiful private location on a lake, very peaceful and relaxing. Danny and Lynn were super responsive to all my messages, and everything was as stated in the listing. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful long weekend! The view was amazing and the cottage felt like a home away from home. Everything there we needed and the hosts were very friendly and helpful! Truly a beautiful spot 😊

This place was incredible! Close enough to Halifax to enjoy the city but remote and quaint to enjoy the seaside life. The accommodation was very well stocked with coffee, milk, bread, treats! Highly recommend!

Beautiful location, great beach for rock collecting with low tide. Socal table restaurant was very close and delicious. Not far from Lobster Pound which we enjoyed. Cottage is rustic, initially not sure about the outdoor shower as the weather was cool but it was worth the experience. We kept the wood stove going as it was cool the first night. Not your typical Airbnb stay, but worth it!

Very well planned out two story cottage with all the amenities. Property is ocean facing with incredible views and easy access to the beach at low tide. Depending on the time of year it can be quite blustery - pack a sweater and you are all good. You’re a 15 minute walk into Hall’s Harbour and the best lobster dinner for miles. Sonia was very responsive.

Nancy and Darren’s place was a slice of paradise. Our 2 big dogs, my husband and myself loved our time at the Red Door Barn. We started our mornings at Louis Head beach, located a short 5 minutes car ride. We had the beach for ourselves and our dogs loved playing fetch on the beautiful stretch of sand. The Red Door Barn is impeccable and Nancy thought of every little detail. It’s beautifully decorated. Extremely clean. And just perfect. We loved the extra dog friendly touches such as the doggie treats, the water bowl, the blankets and the big basket near the door full of little surprises. The kitchen is fully equipped. We cooked Lobster from the Wharf several times during our 12 nights stay. I highly recommend staying at The Red Door Barn. We can’t wait to come back.
