Secluded streamside retreat in wine country
Nestled privately within a hemlock forest, you will discover a peaceful hideaway a mere 7 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Wolfville. For more than two years we have lovingly restored a derelict horse barn into a beautiful guest house and multi-purpose space. The land and nearby burbling stream invite you to slow down, unwind, and recharge.
Spacious and cozy at the same time, The Barn has been designed for adaptability. The main level contains the kitchen, living room, woodstove, dining area, and bathroom, while the loft offers a queen-sized bed, a comfy reading chair, and writing desk. One corner of the downstairs space has been left “blank” to save room for rolling out a yoga mat (or 2!), setting up musical instruments, an easel, playpen, or whatever you choose to incorporate into your time with us.
The kitchen has a gas cooking range/oven and a full sized fridge. It is fully set up with everything you need to make a delicious meal…including sharp knives! Also included are the basic necessities, such as olive oil, salt and pepper, spices, and all the basic cooking tools/equipment. We will also provide local coffee and a selection of tea.
The bathroom is comfortable and spacious and has a full sized shower. It also has a very clean and simple wood shavings composting toilet. How appropriate for a barn! Clear instructions are provided so you may easily use the system. This choice has been made with environmental stewardship in mind to reduce water consumption and responsibly manage the waste generated on the property. Thank you for supporting this!
All dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. are provided to protect the environment and our gray water drainage system. We request that you do not use any toiletries that are not biodegradable or environmentally friendly.
Outside of The Barn itself, you will find a sunny sitting area on the back lawn, a fire pit in what used to be the old paddock, and several small, meandering paths that wind along the stream and past some of our favourite trees on the land. The property is part of the greater corridor of remaining hemlock habitat that runs along parts of the Gaspereau Valley, including the very large and beautiful trees at the Wolfville Watershed Park, the Gaspereau River Trail, and several other small remaining stands. Having access to forest right out your back door is a true gift and has been the main inspiration of opening our property for others to experience. The land here is gentle, yet powerful and you can relax knowing that the entire property is surrounded by forest with no other houses or neighbours nearby.
The only creatures you may encounter while you wander the woods are our family, including one very friendly dog, and the resident squirrels, chipmunks, birds, raccoons, owls...and if you're lucky, the wily fox who has been known to nonchalantly stroll right past the barn in broad day light. It is his backyard, after all....not ours!
This is a stand alone building, tucked away and separate from the house. You have the whole space with all of its amenities. It is very private and has everything you need to be comfortable. You also have access to the walking trails along the hemlock ravine, following along an active stream.
