About this cottage rental
Writer's Retreat is a rustic cottage on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Set well back from a narrow road, it offers privacy combined with sea views, a two-kilometer sand beach, and a walking trail around one of the headlands that protect the beach. The rustic exterior belies the comforts within--a kitchen with all modern conveniences (except a dishwasher), two full bathrooms, and three bedrooms. There is also a screened porch with table and chairs for meals al fresco but without bugs, and an open deck as well.To walk to the beach you have a choice of two well marked paths. It takes about ten minutes. There is also a lake back of the seafront with a small sand beach suitable for young children or swimmers who do not like the bracing North Atlantic waves.
Nearby is the beautiful town of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It also boasts a good number of excellent restaurants, ranging from fish and chips to fine dining. For supplies, there is a small grocery store about five km from the cottage, and larger grocery stores in the towns of Lunenburg and Bridgewater.
My own family have been coming here from childhood. The cottage is not available in late July or August because it will be filled with our children and grandchildren.

Another great stay! We love staying at Rosalie's cottage. Everything is well maintained, clean and cozy.

A wonderful getaway location located above one of the most beautiful beaches in Nova Scotia. The tree framed view of Gaff Point and West Ironbound Island was gorgeous and churn of the waves were a constant companion in a soundscape devoid of urban noise. The property is an authentic cabin, warm and welcoming, with everything we needed for our stay. Rosalie was a great host, responsive and helpful.

Two lovely weeks in July, a pefect location, and a cozy, well equipped cottage to come home to after days spent out and about in the area, including nearby Hirtle's Beach. We love the area so much, and Rosalie's cottage was the perfect combination of easy beach access and quiet R&R. Gorgeous views on clear days, and nicely screened from the nearby road. We miss it already.
