Spacious, garden covered and beautiful shady trees line the property, leading you down to a beautiful view of where river meets ocean.

Boasting open beam ceilings and original plank floors, the Little Dutch House (original owners came over from the Netherlands in 1953) is ready to show off all of the updates to those looking to have a relaxing vacation on the Northumberland Shore. 5 bedrooms include 2 king beds, 1 queen and 2 doubles. Full bathroom is completely updated. Laundry on site. Pets welcome with pre-approval upon discussion. Guests will be provided with a full brochure on what to see and do while in the area.

Our group had a very pleasant stay. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked and it’s very roomy for a group of friends. Overall cozy and relaxing place to hang out.
We enjoyed our stay at the Little Dutch House. Had everything we required to have a wonderful visit. Dawn was awesome to deal with and we will stay again once we return to Pictou County.
Our group of friends had an excellent stay! Five beds and separate bedrooms upstairs were perfect for our group as well as a big open concept kitchen, large dining room table and comfortable living room. I would definitely come here again and recommend it to others.
We really loved our stay at this farmhouse in Pictou. The property is beautiful and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. It’s a great home base close to all the nearby beaches and the host was a great communicator. Our family is hoping to stay again in the near future, highly recommend.
The home was clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and everything very spacious to accommodate family and visitors while were were in town for a funeral.
This place is by far one of the nicest we have ever stayed, the modern amenities with the rustic decorating was just beautiful, we all loved it as well as the outside deck, it is a perfect getaway! Thank you for sharing with us
The communication was fast and informative, Dawn was very kind and helpful. The property is as advertised and easy to find. Very peaceful and well appointed. Beds are extremely comfortable we slept very well. Love the air conditioning. I would like to go back for longer.
We just loved The Little Dutch House. It was central to so many sites, and in and of itself it is a beautiful location, lovingly maintained and equipped. We are a family group of 8, with some of us living in New Scotsburn and the rest from various parts of Ontario We spent a wonderful week exploring and reconnecting. Would not hesitate to stay here again. My thanks to Dawn who could not have been kinder!
This house takes you back to a time when things were simpler and nature closer. Our kids were curious to discover old objects and learn how life used to be in our grandparents time. Every detail of the decor is meant to make you feel welcome and pampered. Thank you!
It was a great place to stay at with my family. There were 10 of us that stayed and the size of the house was great. 2 full bathrooms would have been better for sure. Dawn was amazing and very helpful and thoughtful ❤️ i would definitely come back
well equipped, well decorated and very comfortable beds. Dawn was very responsive to our questions. A few instructions about appliances would help. Well done.
Little Dutch house is a perfect spot to get away for a couple days with a few friends. The outside property is perfect for washer toss, croquet, bocci ball etc.... tons of space. Inside the house you will find everything you need. Kitchen island is always the main hangout space at any Maritime gathering and this was no exception. Multiple bedrooms allow for many guests to be comfortable. This was our second year booking at the Little Dutch House and will be booking again for next year.
The large property worked perfectly for our family get- together in Pictou. The patio, firepit, and large kitchen were fully utilized. I don't know how you did it, but the weather was perfect too! Everyone had a wonderful time!
This older farmhouse is as beautifully redone while still retaining its classic charm. A great location along the water with a variety of outdoor seating. The host was friendly and very responsive to any questions we had. I would highly recommend it for adults or a family.
We had a lovely family vacation at the Little Dutch House! It was incredible. The decor and style of the home was stunning. Can’t wait to show off the pictures. It accommodates a large group without anyone having to bring an air mattress or sleep on a couch. We will definitely be coming back!
The Little Dutch House is charming, airy and spacious and situated on a lovely large landscaped property. The house was generously outfitted with kitchen essentials, books, games and toys for children.
Dawn and Jason are gracious, accommodating hosts.
