We first chose this cottage on Hill’s Bay for a trip in 2022 because of its solitude and private beach, in addition we could bring our dogs, which was a top priority for us. Because of how wonderfully that trip went, we booked our second visit in April, 2023 and could not have been more pleased. The host, Cheri, pays so much attention to detail, a stay in her charming cottage is restful, invigorating, and fun, no matter what the weather. Besides a beautifully decorated and outfitted living environment, the view of the bay provides a never-ending waterscape to observe. Cheri stocks the cottage with books, games, internet access and more, if you choose to stay inside. Outside, a shed full of water equipment provides recreational opportunities on the bay. We tried out the kayaks and paddleboard with our pups and had so much fun! Communications with Cheri were excellent and I was amazed with how easy check in and out went. A small parcel of woods at one side of the cottage provided us with nature-viewing opportunities and a place to walk the dogs. We loved every minute of our stay, from the cottage life to visits to local beaches such as Aaron and Haven Beaches. Local restaurants in the town of Matthew’s have awesome food, no matter what your cravings and small shops throughout the area make shopping fun. The local history also plays a prominent role in this area. If you visit, be sure to bring a camera to capture images of wildlife, nautical scenery, and the most amazing sunsets! We’ll be back again most certainly and would recommend this spot to families as well as couples and individuals. Make your memories here!
