This property offers an authentic Nova Scotia experience. Kim is a natural as a hostess. She is pleasant, accommodating and informative. She is also a good cook. Make sure you have the lobster boil! The property, which is oceanside, is close to the local attractions, especially the beaches. The amenities are more than satisfactory. I had the best sleep of the 2 weeks spent in Nova Scotia. We arrived as guests and left as friends.
