If you love the water, you’ll love Ketch Cottage. Located in Pleasantville, NS. Ketch Cottage is a unique floating house experience with modern décor and amenities. The La Have River runs from the heart of Bridgewater to the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean (roughly 15 kms). From Bridgewater, travel down the west side of the river 5 kms to find the cottage. From there you are 15 minutes from Fort Point Museum, artisans, distilleries, wineries, and one of our favourite places to eat, the La Have Bakery. From the Bakery, hop on the cable ferry toward the East side where you will find yourself closer to Oven’s Provincial Park, Lunenburg (a world UNESCO Heritage site), and the charm of the Lunenburg’s surrounding areas. On either side of the river, you’re on Nova Scotia’s Lighthouse Route where you’ll find Nova Scotia’s most popular and sandy beaches. Drive 20 minutes along the river’s west side to find Risser’s Beach, our largest lifeguarded family friendly beach, Crescent Beach, a drive-on beach with sprawling sand, and Green Bay Beach, a rustic coastline with charming places to explore. Drive 20 minutes along the river’s east side to find Hirtle’s Beach, a sandy and surfing haven, and Gaff Point, the best hiking adventure in the area. In Bridgewater you'll find the Centennial trail, an 8 km long hiking / biking trail running through the town. If staying closer to home is more your speed, enjoy the fire pit, kayaks (2), SUP (2) or sit on the cottage’s deck and watch the river activities, fish or just soak up the sun. Ketch Cottage is a 420 plus square foot floating cottage with a dormered loft bedroom and a secondary reading loft. The cottage includes one ¾ bathroom with shower, sink, and an electric marine toilet. The open concept main floor has a basic kitchen including a full-size fridge, sink, microwave, and 2 induction burners, and the living room has seating for four, a sofa bed, air conditioning, and a TV equipped with Bell FibreOp and movie channels. Outside, you can BBQ under the covered porch or relax on the attached 380 square foot deck. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

It is 'different' enough to excite and offers plenty of gentle water based recreation. Booking was a breeze and communication 1st rate. ##### Caroline L. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ---
