About this property

3 Bedroom Lakefront less than 1 hr from Halifax with Hot Tub, WIFI and AC

  • Dockside cottage is the perfect location! Just 10 minutes to Truro or Stewiacke and 35 to Dartmouth crossing or 45 to downtown Halifax!!

    There is a bakery in Brookfield that has the most amazing treats which is just a few minutes away!

    The lake has a public boat launch so bringing your boat is very convenient. After a day of tubing, relax in the hot tub or enjoy a fire, lakeside!

    The cottage will have everything you need! It is truly your home away from home!

The space was ideal for a family gathering (teenager and adults). The property was listed accurately and we enjoyed the privacy and hot tub! The weather didn’t work out to have a backyard fire. There are plenty of amenities near by, only a short drive from the house.

Our 100 Year Stay

The Shortt Lake cottage was the perfect home base for our family gathering for my Dad's 100th Birthday. Handy for pickups from the airport. Close to my Dad's place in Truro. And comfortable for family connections throughout the day and night.

Beautiful lake house

This house was truly amazing! It was such a relaxing place with the lake, the dock, the outside fireplace and the hot tub to sit in on the cooler evenings. The beds were comfortable, as were the sofa and chairs. We loved this rental! ❤️

Amazing stay!

The property was great and we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views and it was even decorated for the holidays. The driveway however wasn’t plowed and it was really difficult to get out. Overall, lovely.

Excellent Lake Vacay!

We stayed here for one week with extended family. There was plenty of room for everyone, lots of nooks and crannies to relax. Lots of room for time together and time alone to read a book or relax. The cottage and lake area had everything we needed! The host, Rebecca, was very responsive and answered questions immediately. Will be back for a third booking next year!

We had an excellent ‘home away from home’ experience at Dockside cottage/house. Communication with our host was efficient and quick with exceptional service during the Christmas holidays. All supplies and necessary needs were taken care of for twin babies, (playpen, baby gate, etc.), as well as hosting Christmas dinner and 2 birthday celebrations. The view is breathtaking, furniture is modern and appealing and proximity /travel to our daughter’s home was within 1/2 hour. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return again in the future.
