Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Porters Lake

We enjoyed staying at Robert's fabulously decorated home. It is a unique home in a beautiful setting; it's not often we get to stay in a home with exotic birds, friendly ducks, and a dinosaur room. And Robert is an excellent host. It's a great location for seeing the area - many attractions within a 1-2 hour drive. We would stay here again if our travels bring us back to Nova Scotia.

Our family had a lovely gathering at the Porter Lake Cottage. There was lots of room for meal preparation and eating. The house had lots of very useful amenities including kitchen wares, paddle boats, a BBQ and even games and puzzles. The deck was a great place to sit outside and the living room was also quite comfortable. The washing machine and dryer were also very good. We loved the access to the waterfront. The morning sun made this a beautiful place to sit with a cup of tea in the mornings. The only thing that would have made this better would have been a kayak or two. Porters Lake is very large and would be an interesting place to paddle.

We loved our stay here. Great location for getting to different places. Beds were super comfortable. Nice front porch to sit and relax in the evening. Owners live on the property so you will pass by eachother, they are really friendly.

Very cozy place! It was right by the water with a beautiful view. Very convenient as well. We were about a 30 minutes drive from Downtown Halifax. Ashley was very responsive and helpful. Beautiful place and amazing host! I'd stay there again. :)

This house is absolutely magical! The interior is very tasteful with all the exquisite wood, wainscoting, stained glass, wonderfully huge windows, beauteous kitchen containing everything we needed for cooking during our stay, great deck for enjoying our dinner with Benjamin Bridge bubbly, and very comfortable bedroom in the loft. Marvellous reno! We would have loved to stay longer than the one night, but had to catch a flight. Next time will be longer! Les and Kathy Vancouver BC

An absolutely dream staying here. Beautiful location and cottage, everything you need on hand. Private and peaceful. Will definitely be staying again ❤️

Nice house for fun trip with friends! Private, cozy, and well equipped with beautiful surroundings. We had wonderful night thanks to Sherry :) Definitely worth to visit

My son had the pleasure of staying in Derek and Doreen's beautiful place for over a month. The home had everything he needed and more! It was an easy distance to the airport where he was working, yet nestled in a tranquil, woodsy area; so peaceful yet with all the amenities necessary nearby. The home inside was even better than the pictures: modern, spacious, and comfortable. We couldn't be happier with the stay. Thank you so much to this lovely couple for providing such a fantastic stay! 😊

Very nice place to stay. The view from the back yard is priceless and is very relaxing .She has everything there to make for a nice evening outside ,patio lights, firepit ,lite up dock and picnic table right on the water. Inside is very clean and cozy and is not lacking for anything that you might need .This is not a place that you want to make any excessive noise as there is another residence right above you.

Fantastic and peaceful stay! The place was exactly what we needed—clean, quiet, and surrounded by nature. A perfect spot to relax and unwind. Highly recommended!

Absolutely gorgeous pristine property with a beautiful fire pit and seating area. Great little walking trail that surrounds the property and follows along a brook. The hosts had every light clearly labeled in the house for which was which this was great when your unfamiliar with the spot. The hosts had clear instructions posted on the door how to access the walking trail, how to start the BBQ, how to start the firepit. Although not beach weather during my stay the airbnb was equipped with beach chairs a cooler and beach toys and boogie boards for guest use and also was all Clearly labeled stating so. Bathroom had extra "if you forget" toiletries. Small coffee area fully stocked with small snacks and espresso machine with full stock of pods. Another great feature was the bedroom had a small rechargeable fan you could use as hand held or lay on your pillow if your a fan person I loved this. Definetly recommend this airbnb and the hosts 5*

Victoria has created such a cozy and welcoming space with an absolutely gorgeous view. Everything is spotless and pristine, the bed was super comfortable, and she has provided all you need for a home away from home. We enjoyed meeting her very sociable chickens and were able to truly relax in between our runs into Halifax for fabulous food, and a quick trip to Peggy’s Cove. Although our stay was brief, we had a simply marvelous time. Thank you so much, Victoria!

Our stay was great. There was on-street parking available, the space was clean and as described and had all the amenities listed. I would stay there again!

Marvin's place was beautiful, a nice get away for my brothers bachelor party ! he was very helpful and really nice ! went above and beyond! would highly recommend his place!

Excellent place to stay! Backyard area and hot tub is really nice. Place is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this place and staying in the north end of Halifax.

We stayed for 6 months and it was absolutely wonderful! There were lots of beaches and trails nearby to take our dog. The views were amazing! We even saw a seal once! The apartment was beautiful as well, especially the kitchen (as someone who loves to cook and bake it was perfect!) It's the perfect distance from Halifax if you don't like the bustle of a city but still want to do some sightseeing if you don't mind driving a bit! Overall we loved every part of our stay :)

Janet Lynn sets everything up with loving care and wonderful attention to detail. The gardens and view together with the cabin are an oasis nestled in a lovely neighborhood just a short drive from downtown Halifax and anything else one could need. Felt very blessed to stay at what truly is a cozy cabin. It was a joy to wake up to the ocean view and close off the day in the warmly appointed cabin interior.

The boathouse is such a beautiful location. We had most perfect, relaxing, unplugged weekend (swam, kayaked, read, napped, forest bathed, star gazed and soaked in the fresh sea air). We were the only guests on the property so it was very peaceful and private and only an hour from Halifax. Hosts were super accommodating. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a place to kick back, relax and make some memories this is the place. The sunrises from the loft were magnificent- and the short walk to enjoy coffee on the lake was well worth it. Indoor and outdoor areas were well thought out, and just added to our overall experience. We will definitely be back :)

Everything whas perfect a really peaceful place and the cedar hot tub wow 🤩

LOVED the Fish Store so much! Great views of the water, great hospitality, great fires with sounds of the ocean, cozy atmosphere. Great paradise away from home! Laura and Jeff were very welcoming and hospitable!

great place to unwind close to halifax. amazing view. Would recommend to anyone going to Nova Scotia

I just wanted to say that this place is exactly as described, very private, and would absolutely stay here again and would recommend anyone wanting a place in this area to take advantage of this very unique place!

Great spot to visit for a weekend getaway! Even though the cabin is attached to their house, the hosts made us feel secluded and welcome.
