Oceanfront Cottage on a Quiet Cove Just Outside Lunenburg

Welcome to The Cottage on the Cove. This charming cottage has been completely renovated top to bottom in 2021. It is located right on the water on an in-shore inlet of the Atlantic ocean about 10 minutes from the town centre of Lunenburg. It has gorgeous water views from all of the main living areas. A new heat pump allows climate control (heat and air conditioning) for all weather conditions and guest preferences. The cottage can sleep six comfortably with two bedrooms (one queen, one double) and a queen-sized sofa bed in the living room. Linens are provided for all seasons and sleeping preferences (sheets, blankets, quilts & duvets). A full bath includes toilet, sink with vanity and tub/shower combo. Hair dryer & towels for the bath as well as beach towels for the shore are provided. The living room has ample seating with two sofas and two club chairs. An electric fireplace provides a nice ambiance for the occasional rainy evening. The entertainment system permits watching of DVDs (200+ provided for use) and listening to music. Bell FibreOp high-speed internet service including wifi is now available at the cottage for guest use. The indoor dining table (seats six) overlooks the water. The chef’s kitchen is well equipped for cooking and baking to your heart’s content. Full size refrigerator, electric range, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, electric kettle, pots, pans, cooking utensils, dishes, flatware, glassware, wine glasses, baking pans and even a large lobster/mussel/clam pot are all provided. A full-size washer & dryer are also located in the kitchen. A clothes drying rack for outdoor use (for bathing suits and beach towels) has been installed near the cottage entrance. An expansive deck over-looking the cove includes areas for cocktails/lounging (with sofa, club chairs and a coffee table), grilling on the brand new Napoleon BBQ, al fresco dining and star gazing from the porch swing. Two patio umbrellas (with stands) are provided to permit shade in the heat of the day. A stone pathway links the deck to a firepit patio with six colourful Adirondack chairs where you can lounge waterside in the daytime or have a campfire in the evening. Firewood and kindling are supplied. A stone pathway also connects the designated parking area to the cottage for easy transport of luggage. Two kayaks, two paddles and two lifejackets are provided for guest use. The waterways surrounding the peninsula on which the cottage is located are calm and perfect for paddling. When the tide is right, swimming/floating in the cove is a pleasant respite. The Cottage on the Cove is the perfect tranquil escape from the business of everyday life. Our guests tell us they are sad to leave on check-out day but that they will be back to see us again.

Amazing property
Great weekend with friends. Frank & Val pull out all the stops for their guests. This is by far the best place for anyone with allergies to scented products. The cottage is supplied with everything you need and all scent free. The kitchen is a dream, well-stocked and spacious. The deck and fire pit area were an added bonus. We loved our stay and will visit again.

Stunning views
Stunning views of the cove from inside the house and on the deck. We saw great blue herons and cormorants. It was a very comfortable and spacious house. Excellent kitchen! Just a 10 minute drive to get to Ludenburg thru a very scenic countryside.

Lovely Spot
This is such a lovely place to stay! The location is beautiful and quiet, with plenty of outdoor and indoor space. Everything was well cared for and had everything we needed. It was very convenient to Lunenburg (less than 15 minutes to downtown). We would certainly stay again.

A Seven Day Road Tour
After a stressful summer and a two day drive we were astonished by this little bungalow! Every single thing you could possibly need is provided and the cleanliness is remarkable! Frank and Val provide so many little extra touches to make the stay not only cozy, but a time of refreshment. The location is ideal for visiting Halifax for the day of traveling down the coast towards Yarmouth.

We must return
This beautiful cottage has everything you could want for a weeks getaway. The beds are comfortable, you feel like you are in a five star resort with a view to die for. Peace and quiet yet 10 minute drive to Lunenburg for pubs and delicious food and site seeing. Also a wonderful gold course. We can’t say enough good things about our stay. We hope to return for a proper cottage getaway. Thank you! Maureen and Rob from Mississauga, ON

Paradise on the cove
We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful cottage on the cove Aug. 05-10, 2023. The cottage was well stocked, very clean and tastefully decorated. This is a real gem, birdwatchers paradise. We enjoyed watching all the activities on the cove including the herons, gulls, ducks, robins, bluejays, flickers, deer, fox, finches, boats and even saw a sea otter. A trip on the kayak was fun and refreshing. The large deck provides beautiful views to sit back and relax. The owners were readily available and a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend this beautiful, peaceful, relaxing cottage. Donna, Terry and furkid Oreo.
