Beautiful views
This is an older style house (three levels) with two different units (one @ ground level and one up a set of stairs). The view out to Blomidon is amazing. This is a typical older rural home (not every corner is square), but the kitchen is upgraded and great for cooking for a larger group. Outside deck is nice to sit out on. Location to Grande Pre and Wolfville is convenient. One improvement would be a working bbq. In general, worked well for two families (combined 8 adults).

Shows a lot of promise and capacity, but some key details need work.
We were impressed with the size of the property and especially the modern kitchens and bucolic view of the countryside. There were a few things that took away from being able to get all the value out of the rental. 1) the article (3rd floor) was incredibly hot and the one fan to cool it down was broken. We no one could sleep up here. Essentially beds for 12 didn't pan out and we had to out sheets on couches. 2) AC on the second floor - it started dripping and pooled water all over the floor by the time we noticed. We turned it off and the owner did arrangement a fix. But it meant going without AC on the 2nd floor for ~a day. 3) water pressure - for the first 36 hours there was no water pressure. Literally impossible to shower until the property manager came out and corrected it. 4) debris around - I found and swept up glass and metal screws from them mudroom which was alarming since we had kids with us and I was concerned about them cutting their feet. Overall the owner was very responsive and eventually helped fix most of these issues, but not all of them and only part way through our rental. I suspect that each subsequent renter will have a better experience as the kinks get worked out. But it was a little frustrating being the guinea pig and for a not insignificant fee.

Fabulous view, loved our stay
Absolutely loved our stay. The view of the Bay of Fundy from the deck was amazing. The place was spacious with updated facilities and beautiful views. The owner was extremely responsive and answered every question immediately and offered information about all the local "must do's." I would rent from Catherine anytime!
