Beautiful House

Our group of friends had an excellent stay! Five beds and separate bedrooms upstairs were perfect for our group as well as a big open concept kitchen, large dining room table and comfortable living room. I would definitely come here again and recommend it to others.

Northumberland Strait Vacation

We really loved our stay at this farmhouse in Pictou. The property is beautiful and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. It’s a great home base close to all the nearby beaches and the host was a great communicator. Our family is hoping to stay again in the near future, highly recommend.

Fabulous Family Time

We just loved The Little Dutch House. It was central to so many sites, and in and of itself it is a beautiful location, lovingly maintained and equipped. We are a family group of 8, with some of us living in New Scotsburn and the rest from various parts of Ontario We spent a wonderful week exploring and reconnecting. Would not hesitate to stay here again. My thanks to Dawn who could not have been kinder!

Wonderful vacation at the Dutch house

This house takes you back to a time when things were simpler and nature closer. Our kids were curious to discover old objects and learn how life used to be in our grandparents time. Every detail of the decor is meant to make you feel welcome and pampered. Thank you!

Dutch house

It was a great place to stay at with my family. There were 10 of us that stayed and the size of the house was great. 2 full bathrooms would have been better for sure. Dawn was amazing and very helpful and thoughtful ❤️ i would definitely come back

Weekend Away

Little Dutch house is a perfect spot to get away for a couple days with a few friends. The outside property is perfect for washer toss, croquet, bocci ball etc.... tons of space. Inside the house you will find everything you need. Kitchen island is always the main hangout space at any Maritime gathering and this was no exception. Multiple bedrooms allow for many guests to be comfortable. This was our second year booking at the Little Dutch House and will be booking again for next year.

Beautiful vintage home

This older farmhouse is as beautifully redone while still retaining its classic charm. A great location along the water with a variety of outdoor seating. The host was friendly and very responsive to any questions we had. I would highly recommend it for adults or a family.

Best family vacation!

We had a lovely family vacation at the Little Dutch House! It was incredible. The decor and style of the home was stunning. Can’t wait to show off the pictures. It accommodates a large group without anyone having to bring an air mattress or sleep on a couch. We will definitely be coming back!

The Little Dutch House is charming, airy and spacious and situated on a lovely large landscaped property. The house was generously outfitted with kitchen essentials, books, games and toys for children. Dawn and Jason are gracious, accommodating hosts.
