Chalet vacation rentals in Nova Scotia

Well furnished secluded peaceful cottage within walking distance of the gypsum quarry lake. Very nice hosts who meet you in their vehicle to guide you to the property (which is slightly tricky to find.) If you’re not a fan of rustic, bumpy gravel roads, this might not be a perfect match for you.

The little cabin on a breathtaking PE beach had absolutely everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly even though it was unseasonably cold and rainy most days. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be in the warm summer months. We walked the dunes, visited light houses (one just a 1/2 hour walk down the beach), experienced a Nor’Easter gale, golfed a world class course (10 minute drive) on a glorious sunny afternoon, visited the Green Gable historic sites and soaked in the big tub after shopping in Charlottetown (40 minutes away). A holiday to remember fondly. We have already recommended Brian’s BnB to other members of our family.

Great little cottage in a wonderful location, 2 lovely beaches within a 5 minute walk.

Great location near Cape Breton. Very cozy and clean chalet. Perfect for a family getaway and the staff are very helpful with local tips and recommended hikes.

One of those rare times when a house described as "stunning" really lives up to it. John's house near Halifax is beautiful and serene, all windows and wood and incredible views out to the water in the cove and ocean beyond. Surrounded by trees and a garden path down to the dock, it feels private but not isolated. Great house on the inside also - spotlessly clean, streamlined so there's no clutter but everything you need, simple but quite beautiful also. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and bathrooms and just full of sunlight. Can't imagine a better spot to relax and recharge, and close to lots of good hiking. John is super friendly and responsive, a great host - look forward to coming back.

So peaceful and quiet, it was just what we needed. Beautiful country side, and only 20 minutes to most things we enjoyed, The Blue Mussel and Chez Evonne's were great places to eat. The owners were never on our doorstep, but right handy when we needed anything. Thanks for one awesome vacation John, Charlene and family!

Very nice place to stay! Beautiful surroundings. Very cute and comfortable cottage.

Great spot and great host!

We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette weekend and had so much fun! The property itself is incredibly private, surrounded by beautiful views of the rolling forest hills and trees. The chalet was immaculate and well equipped with everything we needed. Wendy was a phenomenal host, who was responsive throughout our whole stay and provided us with lots of recommendations of things to do close by. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. 10/10 would recommend!

Chris's home is truly a slice of heaven! we spent a week in this beautiful chalet on a private beach. We use Airbnb a lot and this house and location was one of our favorite. SO peaceful and relaxing,SO comfortable and beautiful, really felt like home away from home for our large family. Right off the Cabot trail, we were able to take day trips around Cape Breton Island and enjoy everything the area had to offer. Chris was super helpful and communication was quick and easy. HIGHLY recommend this Airbnb!

This place is absolutely perfect. From soft towels to every kitchen amenity possible, it has everything you need for a perfect getaway. The host was gracious and inviting, and I will never rent another place in this vicinity if this location is available!

A very cozy home, beautiful nature. Definitely recommend exploring paths to get to the confederation trail nearby. It’s beautiful. Michael was extremely friendly and responsive.

We stayed here for a mini family reunion and found the home to be a fantastic place that accommodated 3 small families plus grandparents. Our kids had a fantastic disco party in the games/bar area complete with disco ball and lights. The kitchen had everything we needed; the living room was relaxing; the bathrooms had great water pressure and the kiddos loved the giant bathtub. The view was unbeatable, we would recommend this place to anyone.

Beautifully designed and well thought out. The sauna and hot tub are wonderful and the sound of the powerful waves on the shore was so relaxing. Loved the special touches like the indoor fireplace, the big comfortable couch, drink fridge, and how well stocked the kitchen was for cooking. The host was so responsive and a great communicator when we needed help. Would certainly recommend this place for a large group!

A large spacious Lodge is in a beautiful location. It was perfect for our large group. It really fit our team event . If you use GPS , it will take you to cottage next door, don't ignore the sign on the tree that says Lodge and 137 JR lane like we did . lol

We enjoyed our stay at Katja's place. It was as described and perfect for a family event - some of us hadn't seen each other in 40 years. The beds were as described - very clean.

My siblings and I booked this place for a family trip and had a wonderful time! The location was absolutely beautiful, and the outdoor amenities made it easy to soak in and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Everyone we met in the area was incredibly friendly and full of great recommendations for local spots to check out. Jean and Meg were quick to respond to any questions and were super helpful throughout our stay. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

A great private quiet haven to relax and enjoy nature. An evening by the fire with the water close by was amazing … super comfortable beds with comfortable heat/cool just a great spot , we’ll be back !

Kat goes above and beyond my expectations. We have been doing AirBnB for a number of years and this place exceeded all others. It was exactly what we were looking for...quiet, peaceful, on a lake and everything about the chalet was wonderful. From a fire in the wood stove to greet us when we got there, welcome gifts and Kat's friendly and soft spoken demeanor was great. All of the little touches to the chalet made it most welcoming, the selection of records was unreal and all kinds of board games to keep you occupied Our only regret is that we didn't go a little earlier in the year. I think September would be perfect

Terra Nova was the perfect retreat for 3 generations - me, my daughter and granddaughter. We found lots to do from walking the beach to exploring nearby attractions and just enjoying the gorgeous surroundings. Eleanor provided so many special touches. We immediately felt welcome. She was available for anything we needed or wanted to know. The Easter bunny even left some unexpected treats. It was very hard to leave. Such an idyllic Easter weekend.

A must-visit destination for stunning views, perfect for enjoying quality time with family and friends. Highly recommend staying here!

The cottage was very warm and inviting.. there were only two of us so we only used the main level. Couldn’t locate the garbage bins so we brought our garbage home. I’m sure I just wasn’t looking in the right spot. The tv has many viewing options which was great for the weekend of pjs and tv.

This is an absolute gem. We watched the sun set over the water every night. Our toddler was safe and entertained in the big yard and beach. We want to return next year!

We stayed at Riann's for 3 nights as our son was getting married at the Sunny Brook Barn. Location was perfect for us to get to the venue daily. Riann had everything we needed to make our weekend perfect. The sunrises were amazing to wake up to. Deck was very peaceful and beach was even more peaceful. Great spot to visit and relax.
