Big ground, direktly at the lake, beautiful sunrises, nature pure

Our group of Mom, Dad, 3 kids [23,21,17] & 90 yr old Grandma had a great time hiking, kayaking, canoeing, fishing & relaxing at Dean's Lake Cottage. The property was just as described, extremely well-equipped & very clean. Having access to 3 kayaks & a canoe was awesome! Our sons loved exploring all the islands in the lake & they took their gear by canoe to camp on one of the islands. Accessing trails directly from the property was very convenient. We were pleasantly surprised to find wild blueberries, raspberries & blackberries within an arm's reach of the trails & enjoyed them with our waffles (yes - they even had a waffle maker!). The setting was very peaceful. There were so many spots to watch the wildlife & lake - the upper deck of the cottage, the dock & benches thoughtfully placed throughout the property. We heard & saw bullfrogs in the blossoming lillypads, enjoyed the steady "buzz" of hummingbirds at the feeder, watched & listened to the loons, & had daily visits from a duck family. The only wildlife that were scarce were the fish. Dad & daughter didn't have much success catching fish, but they enjoyed trying. Friendly property manager Rick stopped by & we enjoyed his visit. Owner Stefan was very responsive to questions before our trip & also called a few times during our stay to check on us. This is an fantastic place to relax & reconnect with nature. Our family had a great time enjoying the property & our time together!

We stayed one week at Dean Lake a d thoroughly enjoyed our time. The cottage is nestled into a classic Canadian scene of natural beauty. Quiet and peaceful Dean Lake is the perfect place to get away from the noise of daily living. It is also centrally located in the province which allows for easy drives to Annapolis Royal, Lunenburg Mahone Bay, the Annapolis Valley and beyond. We also want to emphasize how much we appreciated Rick , the property manager. He is attentive, warm, funny and informative. Rick is unique but we felt this same friendly welcome throughout our Nkva Scotian travels. Stefan, the property owner has created a very special experience and we hope one to return to his home on Dean Lake.

A newly constructed lakefront home with high end luxury and convenience while maintaining that cottage feeling. Stunning deck to watch sunsets and listen the the Loons. Stefan was an excellent host and was polite courteous and helpful during the entire experience. My kids caught frogs and the abundance of small fish ensured they each walked away with memories of their first catch. Lastly when you arrive you will be greeted by a wonderful fella named Rick who will show you around and be there if you should need something. It is a great spot to reconnect with family and relax. Thanks again!!! The Keegans

This stunning property delivered incredible comfort and ease in the midst of a spectacular natural setting. The house is absolutely beautiful - warm, inviting, beautifully decorated and well appointed. We had everything we needed and more! And it is nestled in the midst of the most serene and breathtaking scenery. We loved exploring the paths, which were so well explained in the detailed welcome package. And Rick was a great host, always there if we had questions - a great ambassador for Nova Scotia. Can't wait to come back in the summer!
