Quiet seaside cottage, close to Historic Sherbrooke Village. Pet Friendly

The Ledge is a little slice of paradise up on a hill above the stunning coastline of Nova Scotia. The Ledge Cottage is located on our property, The Ledge Cottage is perfect for a couple or individual looking for a quiet seaside getaway. Take in the 180 degree waterview from the covered deck, tranquil Indian Harbour Lake flows from the right hand side into the Port Hilford Bay (across the road) stretching as far as the eye can see on the left.

The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay, a queen sized bed, a sofa bed that sleeps two, fully equipped kitchen, and full bathroom. Read a book or take a nap in the loft as you listen to the sounds of the waves from the bay below. Sit on the covered deck to take in a stunning sunset. And spend the evening by the bonfire or enjoy some stargazing far away from the city lights. (*Dog friendly, $10 a day!)

The cottage is centrally located to several beautiful beaches including Port Hilford Beach which is just a few steps down the hill and across the road for long strolls and Wine Harbour Beach, a hidden gem among Nova Scotians. We are just a 15 minute drive from the Historic Sherbrooke Village and scenic St. Mary’s River and 20 minutes from "the can’t miss" Port Bickerton Lighthouse and walking trails. The Liscomb River Trail is an awesome 9.6 km trek that takes hikers through a loop along both sides of the Liscomb River (hence the hike’s name). This trail is relatively easy in terms of inclines and declines but rated moderate due to the length and terrain.

The trail offers plenty of access points to take in the river’s beauty and see the massive boulders left by the ancient glaciers, which are staples of the Nova Scotian wilderness. The trail includes a suspension bridge overlooking a wonderful waterfall and runs along a nearby fish ladder, which helps restock Atlantic salmon. (25 minute drive)

Join us at The Ledge Cottage and experience the eastern shore ofm Nova Scotia, one of the most beautiful hidden gems of our province.

Peace and tranquility
We enjoyed our stay at The Ledge Cottage. It's very comfortable and very quiet. The kichen is very well equipped. We loved the porch!! We loved sitting on the porch in the morning enjoying our coffee and listening to the water and enjoying an evening cocktail listening to the water and hearing the loons call while watching the sun go down. Absolute peace and tranquility!. Thank you for sharing the cottage with us!

Ledge Cottage
We had a wonderful stay. The views are amazing and the sounds from the ocean waves were soothing. The beach across the road is a sandy beach great for swimming our golden retriever spent most of the day in the water. The cottage is well equipped, the bed is very comfortable and the entire area was beautiful. We will be back.
