About this house rental
4 Bedroom 4 Bath lakefront retreat right in the center of Nova Scotia and the Maritimes available for weekly or longer term rental.
Our cottage is twelve minutes from a general store in Greenfield and within three quarters of an hour to Kejimkujik National Park, Bridgewater, Liverpool, or Mahone Bay. Annapolis Royal, Digby, Peggy's Cove and Halifax are likewise day trips just a bit further afield.
That said why leave the house?
Our cottage has everything you could possibly need from a wood stove and air conditioning, to plush linens and whirlpool bath, from an air fryer and full spice cabinet; to three kayaks, three canoes, and a pair of stand up paddle boards to boot. Stroll among the many rock gardens on the property or just relax in the sunshine on either of the two decks. There is fiber internet with mesh WiFi, a smart TV and surround sound receiver for your media device, and game consoles for kids, but better to forgo all that and rather spend the day fishing on the lake and then pluck one of the many good reads available on the shelves.
There is no smoking in the cottage and there can be no loud noise after 10 pm outside on the deck. The next door neighbor is our caretaker and friend. Please be respectful of him and everyone else on Salmon Bay.
By renting the cottage, tenants agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owner for any liability or damages that occur with respect to the property and the watercraft thereon.
19.2 KW Level 2 NACS EV Charger available per request.
14% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST/GST) & 3% South Shore Tourist Tax will be assessed during booking.
Please message host with any questions in advance.

Paradise on Ponhook was a beautiful, clean place for excellent family time with our family of eight. Everyone had enough space to stretch out and be alone when they needed, and plenty of space to all be together. The house is a few steps from the lake, and we used the paddle boards and the kayaks almost every day. Scott, our host, communicated well, and left a comprehensive house booklet. The kitchen was well stocked with no separation from the living area. We even saw a parade of chickens in the yard! It is a magical place!

What an amazing property and location! We alternated between "stay at home" days and all-day "excursions" to the far reaches of lower Nova Scotia. Lunenburg, Liverpool, Wolfville, Annapolis Royal, Digby, and Long Island are all within 2.5 hours drive on mostly-empty roads. Only saw two RCMPs in 13 days, so very little speed limit enforcement. Hit the NSLC Signature stores in Bridgewater, Liverpool, or Lunenburg for the best wines. The house is well equipped for cooking and we did just that on most days. We found the butcher shop and Soeby's in Bridgewater had the meats, fish, and produce that we needed. The house has a brand-new set of 12 steak knives from Canadian Tire.

In the run up to hurricane Dorian Scott was very proactive and suggested we might like to go to the cottage a day early to avoid travelling during the storm. We were very pleased to accept his offer. We also filled the bath with water prior to the storm as he suggested, which was to work well for us. On the morning of the storm power to the cottage was lost and remained out for the rest of our stay. Unfortunately this also meant no running water and access to the bedrooms in the basement was pretty much out of the question as they were very dark. We were able to repair a generator we found in the garage and managed to keep the refrigerator going for the 6 days of our stay. We were disappointed that the generator could not be plugged into the main electricity consumer unit for the property as this would have solved most of our problems and we would strongly recommend this be provisioned going forward.
Whilst we enjoyed the location, bathing in the lake and heating water on the wood burning stove ceased to be a novelty after 6 days and we retreated to a hotel in Halifax where we could enjoy more modern conveniences.
