About this property

Apple Orchard Cottage Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada

  • Stunning Ocean views overlooking the entrance to Historic UNESCO World Heritage Site "Lunenburg" Watch as Blue Nose II sail in and out of the harbour.

This renovated 1900s cottage has 3 queen bedrooms with a shared bathroom on the second floor with a kitchen, dining room, living room, and full bathroom on the ground floor. A 43' x 16' deck overlooks the water. Plenty of parking in a quiet neighborhood setting, sitting on an acre of land. Superb location to base yourself on whilst visiting all the sites of Lunenburg County and more. Wake up to deer grazing on the lawn in this beautiful nature's little secret setting.

Older property with character. A bit quirky. Comfy beds and nice sheets etc. Good parking. Very clean. Modern appliances. Couldn't see how to access the 'beach'. A bit of TLC ..Fly screens, windows, doors could do with repair. Toilet flush flap not closing every time

Perfectly peaceful spot

This house in Apple Orchard Lane is spacious and well equipped. We saw the sun rise over the water each morning which was just magical and we enjoyed seeing lots of birds and deer in the garden. Lunenburg is a fantastic town to visit, so picturesque and accessible. Everyone we met was pleasant and polite and so very helpful. Great holiday all round. .

Favorite location on the south shore!

This is our second stay here and we loved it again! Corkums Island is so quiet and peaceful, while still being close to everything you'd need in Lunenburg. The cottage has everything you need. Bedrooms are big (and there are really 4, the extra one is small but very usable), it's dog friendly and the heat pump makes a huge difference. It's not an Instagram star or anything, but it feels lived in and cozy in a way that the black-metal Ikea-filled places can't match.

Quiet beauty

We stayed for 2 nights. It was a nice quiet place with beautiful views and privacy. It was close to Lunenburg so we visited that twice. There was a nice quiet private beach just footsteps from the cottage. My children enjoyed looked for treasures like shells and sea glass. We saw a few deer walking around. The host was very quick to respond to questions and gave good suggestions about places to see and do :). We enjoyed our stay on Corkums island.

Tidy and conveniently located for all areas we visited near by. Beautiful property. The house was older and taken care of. There must have been lots of rain previous to our stay as the home felt very damp. No AC upstairs however fans were provided. We saw deer and the locals were very friendly. View was fantastic and it was close to a beach that we could walk to and enjoy with the kids.

Great private spot on the south shore

We had a great time on apple orchard lane. The location can't be beat, just minutes outside of town but on a very private road, and only a oen minute walk to a public beach. The cottage has some quirks but was great for us - it's rare to find a place that is both pet friendly and has a heat pump, so getting both was a real treat. Three good size bedrooms (and a 4th you can use in a pinch) and two bathrooms makes it great for a family, and the deck gets afternoon shade so it's great for family dinner. I should tank this review so none of you take it and we can get our reservation next year, but that doesn't seem fair to the owners.

Another great stay on Corkum's Island! We made great use of the little beach this time, exploring around the island with our canoe. The house tolerated the heat pretty well, and we look forward to our next visit.

The owner should complete more preventative maintenance so guests do not have issues. Better cooling system in the upstairs bedrooms would be beneficial as it can get very hot even with fans.We enjoyed being near the water.

We enjoyed our stay at the apple orchard cottage. The house was spacious and had lots of character. Natasha was quick to respond to any questions I had. Only comment as others have mentioned was that we did find it hot upstairs while sleeping. Thankfully Natasha has a big standing fan in each room which helped somewhat. The location was fantastic being just a short drive into Lunenburg and other south shore locations including the Lahave ferry to enjoy the shops and bakery there. We also enjoyed watching the deer roam the property at their leisure.
