About this cabin rental
Our cabin is located directly on the water on Bell Island in the beautiful La Have Islands. It is easily reached by bridge and causeway from the mainland. The cabin is an ideal place for a quiet, tranquil escape from civilization. You can explore the islands in our row boat & two kayaks, or you can relax with a book on our wharf and enjoy the sunset view. We do not have Wi-fi, so be prepared for an away-from-work, off-the-grid experience.
The cabin is two stories (16 ft x 24 ft) with an open floor plan on both floors. There is an 8 x 12 kitchen addition on the first floor.
The upstairs has four double size spool beds.
A separate bedroom building about 200 feet from the cabin has a queen bed.
It is a 200 foot walk to the bathhouse where there is a toilet, hot water shower, sink, and washer-dryer. We also have an electric composting toilet in a small outhouse that is closer to the house about 30 feet away. The kitchen has cold water only, but hot water is available in the bathhouse. There is no central heat. We use electric space heaters and a wood stove.
This adds a camping feel to staying with us, so please be careful to reserve only if you are willing to rough it a bit. Hotel-level amenities should not be expected. However, cell phone reception is excellent.
WiFi is available at the nearby La Have Bakery, which is a 10 minute drive in the easterly direction, or in Bridgewater (25 minute drive) at the public library.
We are a mile from Crescent Beach and Rissers Provincial Park. Within easy reach is the famous La Have Bakery and the Petite Riviere Vineyards, as well as Green Bay which has MacLeod's Canteen, a great place for ice cream and a walk along the shore after a dinner of local fish and chips.
Petite Riviere has a small grocery store and a liquor store. The Osprey Restaurant is a few minutes away. The town of Bridgewater has two large grocery stores, a movie theater, and a shopping mall.
Picturesque Lunenburg can be reached in half an hour via the La Have River ferry. There you will find the Bluenose schooner and the Marine Museum of the Atlantic, along with many fine restaurants. Blue Rocks is a short drive from there. You will also find an 18 hole golf course nearby as well as other attractions,
We do not recommend our property for families with children six years of age or younger. The wharf extends out over rocks and water (see photos).
Check-in at 3:30 PM and check-out by 10:30 AM.
Dogs allowed for a fee of $100. Limit one dog.

Best place to just get away from busy everyday life

Initially difficult to find, even using gps. Very much off the beaten path. But once we found it, we loved it.
No air conditioning, no problem. Most windows have screens and no matter how hot the day is, the harbour breeze keeps the cottage temperature very comfortable. In fact, bring warm clothing even during the hottest season as the evenings get very cool.
There are books and games for entertainment but I suggest bringing a device (laptop, tablet or radio) if you enjoy music or watching shows. Wifi and cell reception are excellent.
A barbecue would have been nice as I love grilling. But we managed using the gas stove top and oven. The oven pilot light needs to be lit manually. You need to lie down on the floor to do so.
No hot running water in the kitchen wasn’t a problem. Using the basin beneath the counter, in the sink and boiling water on the stove made dishwasing possible.
There is a very cute but small general store 10 minutes away in Petite Riviere. It has the basics and a small corner dedicated to beer, wine and spirits. But it is quite expensive compared to regular grocery stores, the nearest one being close to one hour away. Same with gas for your vehicle. So I would recommend filling up with gas and a good supply of groceries before arriving at the cottage.
If you like beaches, Crescent Beach is only 5 minutes away and very nice and clean. Parking roadside or right on the beach is permitted and free of charge.

Stylish and secluded cabin surrounded by breathtaking scenery complete with the perfect sunset view. Close enough to several site seeing spots without feeling too out of touch. Beautiful walks from the cabin and many other walking options a short drive away. If we didn’t live so far away I would make this a yearly trip.
