No railings, so adults only. New bathroom was appreciated by all. New 2nd toilet in the laundry room looks like it belongs on the space station. New small BBQ. Dishwasher is a little puzzle as you need to attach it to the sink; some written/photo instructions might be useful for those who have never seen this before.Owners communicated quickly and even dropped something off all the way from Halifax when requested. They also said we are better to bring our own water (local store) than to drink from the tap. 5 - 7 minute drive north of Chester and about an hour from Halifax airport. Great location close to many points of interest. For the golfers: played Chester GC twice. Fantastic and vastly under appreciated (as the friendly locals prefer), with 8 holes on the water. Challenging in 50 km/hr wind. Would definitely go back - to the cottage and the course. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dae15360-e2aa-40f1-8bb0-9d4b92e3c4f6-1751401192928.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d960179a-cd11-4f08-a422-dfda4542ba2c-1751401204225.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7eececbd-5ebf-4aa7-8098-c7a226caf515-1751401220501.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d231335-8760-4391-8bf6-b0ad4d5ff2ab-1751401228031.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Arnold K.

We didn't require a lot of amenities otherwise. But we were very impressed with what we got. The hosts were very helpful in our communication. We found the place impeccably clean, and the views to the cove were very nice. We used the place as a base to get to know the surrounding area, and then could come back and relax in the evening. One can get some groceries within a few minutes as necessary, and the closest town, Chester, has some very nice dinning options. As far as parking, it is useful to be ok with backing up (a back camera in the car is very nice). Not a problem at all for us, though. ##### Emanuel Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 15 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sheer heaven We stayed four days in Yi & Kuangs beautiful cottage on Squid Bay. The cottage is spacious with two large bedrooms with comfortable hotel class beds and small but well appointed bathroon with shower and a washer and dryer which we appreciated. Also a well appointed kitchen and a cozy living-room and dining room with beautiful views. There is a lovely wrap around verandah and covered front porch to relax on as well as a large dock with an large umbrella and lounge chairs to enjoy. The cottage is centrally located and within an hour from Halifax Stanfield Airport. Yi responded to any inquiries promptly and was a very pleasant host.

The driveway was VERY steep and lose gravel....hard to turn around....finally decided to back down driveway...very scary.... This was NOT a separate house, but half of a house that was turned into a rental on half.... Washer and dryer was shared by owner and their clothes in a basket by W/D. The location was peaceful sitting and listening to the water of the lake. ##### shirley w.

There is a nice deck down near the water with 2 lounge chairs to relax on. There are no rails on the deck and a short drop below. I would not recommend this property for people with kids.The beds are comfortable,although we could have used some extra blankets. The shower unit is quiet small and a tall or large person could not fit. The bidet was a nice feature and the host supplied plenty of toiletries. The living room and dining room have great views. The living furniture was a bit of a disappointment. There was small hard sette and 2 hard chairs. The recliner was comfortable, but for only one of us. A suggestion would be to have a couple of cozy couches. Also, there were plenty of clean towels, but no washcloths. Overall, a great stay and just a few suggestions. ##### Gina D.

Nous avons trouvé Chester était assez central pour passer soit la journée dans les secteurs de Lunnenburg, Mahone Bay, Peggy's Cove, Wolfville etc... La section de la maison destinée aux locataires est très représentative des photos. Toute les commodités sont presentes. Salle de bain nouvellement rénovée. Le seul hic se retrouve à l'extérieur, l'aménagement semble super en photo, mais le deck près de l'eau est dangereux, aucune rambarde. Une installation vitrée serait parfaite. En ce moment le terrain n'est pas du tout adaptée pour une famille avec des enfants. ##### nancy b.
