"This house and location were both beautiful. A split level, right on the water, it was stunning. The split level allows for privacy between guests, and the beds were very comfortable. The rooms including the kitchen were spotless. The patio/deck is very spacious too. I would recommend this location, home and host enthusiastically."

Peaceful retreat on Nova Scotia's North Shore. Come Have A Splash in Malagash!

8/10 Good
"We were looking for a quiet waterfront cottage and that is what we found. The area is peaceful. The pictures accurately reflect the cottage - although I’d say the main area is brighter and larger than I anticipated. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans for cooking. We stayed just after significant rainfall in the province and there was lots of standing water, thus an abundance of mosquitoes. Outdoors was not usable. Had a great meal at Wiley’s on the Wharf in Wallace, just a few minutes away, and a nice lunch at the Jost Winery, up the road."
