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!

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.
