Elm Tree Cottage
Contemporary Cottage
Details
Elm Tree Cottage is a comfortable, one bedroom cottage located on a quiet residential street in Shelburne. Since this is my own cottage, it is the one I am most familiar with. In 2013, we transformed it from a small dark cabin into a clean, bright and airy space.
Elm Tree Cottage has been designed for both business travelers and vacationing couples. It has all the conveniences of home. A fully equipped kitchen, living room and dining room. A queen size bedroom and a modern bathroom. Since I love Mid-Century Modern design I have incorporated elements of it into the style of the cottage. Painted in muted tones, the space complements the cottage’s retro styling.
For instance, there’s a teak side board with Mad-Men era bar ware. The dining room has a fantastic vintage dining room table with smokey lucite chairs and an extraordinary Atomic Era UFO light that I found on Etsy. It’s super cool!. The living room furniture is new. But, selected to pick up on the aesthetic. A flat screen TV with Netflix and high speed wireless internet bring the cottage into the modern age. And, consequently make Elm Tree Cottage a favourite of business travelers working in Shelburne. A heat pump heats the space in the winter, and cools it in the summer.
Outside, there is a deck that overlooks a woodland with a babbling brook. So, there is a private outdoor space perfect for barbecuing and relaxing.
Location
Elm Tree Cottage is located on a leafy side street in the historic town of Shelburne. This quiet residential neighbourhood is walking distance to center of town where you will find shops, restaurants and museums. Moreover, the Boxing Rock Tap room is less than a 5 minute walk.
Shelburne is about half way between Bridgewater and Yarmouth on Nova Scotia’s South Shore. Because of this, there are so many beautiful beaches, historic towns and charming fishing villages to explore. Elm Tree Cottage an hour’s drive to the Ferry Terminal in Yarmouth. While, Lunenburg, Chester and Mahone Bay are all about 90 minutes away. Closer to home is the historically significant community of Birchtown. Once home to the largest free Black community in North America. The newly opened Black Loyalist Heritage Center tells the compelling story of these early settlers.

Reviews
“Wonderful”
We stayed at Elm Tree Cottage while buying a house in Shelburne. Perfect. We’d recommend for anyone. No space for kids or guests but for a couple it’s perfect! Great host.
“Simply Wonderful”
We had a wonderful time staying at the Elm Tree Cottage. The outside is deceptive as the inside is spacious with plenty of amenities for the traveling couple. The master bedroom was large with queen bed, Bureau, an armoire for clothes storage. The bathroom was equally large with an updated walk in shower, toilet and sink. The kitchen was complete with dishwasher, washer / dryer, pots pans dishes and everything else you need. The living room was especially nice due to the pull-out Queen sofa bed which came in handy because I snore. The eating kitchen sits four comfortably as well as the walk out deck with screened in porch with seating for 4. We had a pleasant week and look forward to coming back to stay. The location of the cottage is on a quiet street just off 103 and perfect for taking day trips in the surrounding Nova Scotia area.
“Cozy Little Cottage”
Elm Tree Cottage has all the comforts that one would need for a decent stay. I was there for nearly 3 weeks and enjoyed coming back in the evening to this cozy little cottage. It is nicely decorated, great shower, comfortable bed, good kitchen and good internet. The owners live nearby such that if anything is needed (like losing the key) they are there to provide it.
