Lovely place and great location.
This space was perfect for us. Nice place on a quiet Dartmouth street near lake Banook. Check in always a breeze and the place was spacious, modern and clean with a big back yard. Would definitely stay here again.

Would stay again! Peace and quiet in Dartmouth, NS.
We come to Dartmouth every summer to reconnect with friends and family. It's a long road trip (over 40 hours of driving) so we truly appreciated this chill place to call home for a few days. Super clean. Well stocked. Centrally located. Amazing for dogs. I hope to stay again next year.

Dartmouth Stay
Clean, comfortable, accessable. Comfy beds, well equiped. Just could use a couple minor things - a bath mat for tub (I found it slippery); at least one box of kleenex tissues would be nice. You should check the noise of the fridge, very loud. And the small white pail on the step was very smelly. A neighbour mentioned it was for doggie bags. We moved it to the back garden.
