Guest Testimonials

Our first day here we open the curtains to be greeted by the view of a Great Blue Heron standing among the rocks of your little beach area!  For our 20th anniversary what we were looking for was a place that offered quiet and seclusion away from very busy lives!  Your home was just the ticket!  Quiet relaxing days of no particular schedule made this an anniversary to remember!

We have enjoyed a very relaxing week in Moose Harbour Cottage. It was a great base for us to explore Nova Scotia and we have got lots of good memiories and photos to take home with us.  You have managed to make our first trip to Canada amazing and we are already planning when we might be able to come back.

What a great spot.  We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Castaway Ocean Lodge.  The hot tub is a nice touch.  We hope to be back someime in the near future.

What a fabulous week we've had!!!  Wonderful water - such a lovely spacious cozy home with a view to die for.  We loved Shelburne and Lockeport too.  Very quaint with lovely old houses and so quiet and unspoilt.

Swim House

Vacation home close to the beach

The setting is perfect - a large garden surrounded by mature trees only a few hundred meters from the beach.
Looking for an elegant, comfortable seaside getaway? The Swim House is for you!
This bright fully equipped kitchen includes a fridge, stove, microwave, coffee maker and kettle.
The bedrooms are decorated in true Nova Scotia style with painted hardwood floors and stylish cotton quilts
This beautiful dining room looks out on to the garden. A antique harvest table takes its place as the main feature of the room.
At low tide, The Swim house has about 1250' of sandy beach front. At high tide, the beach is a rocky walking beach.

Description

Originally built in 1865, this “Heritage House” has managed to retain its original charm and character without sacrificing modern comfort and convenience. Carefully restored and maintained this vacation home features a sunny well-equipped kitchen, an elegant dining room and a beautiful living room. A parlour off the kitchen artfully combines laundry facilities and a comfortable family room suitable for watching a movie or playing a board game.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen size bed. There is a double bed in the second bedroom and two single beds in the third bedroom. There is one four-piece bathroom on the ground floor and a two-piece powder room upstairs.

The elegance is in the details – calming paint colours, an antique harvest table in the dining room, thick towels and luxurious bed linens all add to the ambiance. The elegant nature of this home has not interfered with the family friendly feeling of the house. The large lawn and plenty of trees provide space for a game of football and some welcome shade in the summer. A wooden deck complete with charcoal BBQ and patio furniture makes a perfect spot to while away an afternoon. A few hundred meters from the beach, the Swim House is an ideal location for a family holiday.

Location

The Swim House is a charming 19th Century home located on a quiet lane on the eastern shores of Lockeport Harbour along Nova Scotia’s famous Lighthouse Route. Only 30 minutes to Shelburne, 10 minutes to Lockeport and 40 minutes to Liverpool, The Swim House is nicely situated to explore the South Shore. It is a 2-hour drive to Halifax; Yarmouth is a 1 ¼ hours away. Lunenburg, Chester, Liverpool and Digby are all pleasant day trips.
