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!

Luxury, Location & Stunning Views! A perfect spot for a getaway. Starting off with the location—it's under an hour from Halifax, and we were able to stop into Chester for a gorgeous lunch and some shopping before heading to the Airbnb (only 20 minutes from awesome restaurants and cafes). We booked a day at Sensea Spa, which was also only 20 minutes away. The property is easy to find, and we had no confusion with directions. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the most thoughtful welcome basket with snacks, sparkling water, and local beverages to enjoy. Immediately, we experienced a 5-star stay. All of the appliances are high-end and were a joy to use. There is a view of the ocean from basically every window, and you *must* watch the sunrise from the soaker tub (there are actually two!). We loved the cozy touches: the in-ground hot tub, the picture frame TV, automatic blinds, personalized bathrobes, nespresso machines.. the list goes on! Thank you AirGNV for the luxurious stay!

We stayed at Keith's lodge for a Stag party with 14 guys from out of Province and it was phenomenal. Keith was great to deal with, the place looked even better in person than it did in the photos, and it was perfect for our event. Great space outside for yard games, well-maintained hot tub, so many spots to hang out, a killer bar setup, an ice machine, and an industrial kitchen - which was huge with our number of guests. I am already trying to dream up my next reason to go back - just excellent all around! You should be proud of this spot, Keith!

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.

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.

Absolutely magical place! The cabin is super cozy, and the peaceful surroundings make it perfect for a soulful getaway. Everything is thoughtfully arranged — you can feel the care from the hosts in every detail. My husband and I completely fell in love with this spot and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Our stay at the Eagle House in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, was truly memorable. The property offers stunning lake views, and the serene surroundings made for a perfect getaway. We were captivated by the beauty of the location and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

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!
