A Quiet Riverside Cottage with 2 Fireplaces
Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and embrace the tranquility of nature in your very own 1-bedroom tiny home nestled on 2 acres of pristine land along a picturesque riverbank. This is not just a home; it's a lifestyle!
Heron's Rest year round cottage located on just over two acres of land beside one of the largest set of rapids of the Petite River. This quiet and private rental is just off the main road giving quick access to the wide range of local interest and activities. Its the perfect location for a romantic get away for two or a personal retreat. The house is fully equipped with a fridge, stove, dishwasher and laundry facilities. It will sleep 2 in the main bedroom queen sized bed. The large deck which overlooks the river is accessed off the kitchen and includes a BBQ and outdoor dining facilities. Guests can enjoy a quiet evening on the deck listening to the river and watching the stars or build a bonfire in the riverside fire pit.
This is a charming cottage with a large deck overlooking the rapids. You will enjoy the sound of the river from the house. It is cozy and comfortable.
Located just 1.5 hours from Halifax, this is a wonderful community close to local beaches, steeped with history and full of charm. Petite Riviere is just a few minutes away and has a general store (complete with liquor store). Have one of their wonderful cups of coffee and enjoy a few minutes on the deck.
Please note that there is no public transit here. I prefer to send an information package out to my guests rather than use the site information system. The package comes about a week before their stay and covers all the information needed for their stay.
