About this property

Lakefront Retreat With Sandy Beach, Perfect For Kids

This bright 3 bedroom, newly renovated cottage is the ideal location for a relaxing lakeside holiday (Space available in barn apartment too). Located on Trout Lake, a family-friendly cottage community, this property enjoys a large deck, fenced-in garden and private sandy beach. Relax on the back deck and take in the elevated view of Trout Lake, and the sights and sounds of nature.

The living room, open-plan kitchen and dining area are great for entertaining, with the dining table seating 10. The modern kitchen, with generous island and all new appliances, is equipped with everything needed to cook up a feast. Large windows and sliding doors lead on to the back deck where you will find patio furniture and a gas barbeque and there are laundry facilities in the basement.

The living room is tastefully furnished and provides access to a sunroom, which is a perfect place to enjoy the views in warmer weather, or for the kids to play games or watch a DVD in the evening. One of the bedrooms is on the main floor, with a double bed and a large closet. It is next to the bathroom that has a shower stall.

The master bedroom, with queen sized bed, is on the upper level and it enjoys lake views from a large sliding door, which leads to it's own private balcony. The ensuite bathroom has a tub/shower combination. Across the hall is another bedroom which is perfect for the kids, with a set of bunk beds and an additional twin bed, it sleeps three. This bedroom also has it's own bathroom complete with a shower stall.

The house has approximately 150 feet of shoreline and enjoys a serene view of forests, islands and pristine water. The waterfront is perfect for swimming and is especially good for children as there is a large area of shallow water before gradually getting deeper. There are plenty of lawn chairs and a firepit on the beach where you can take in the sunset or the stars while listening to the water lapping on the shore. The house comes equipped with a canoe, paddles and life jackets for you to explore the lake. If you're really lucky, you may get a close up view of the resident family of loons or paddle past the beaver dam.

*Please note - access to the barn space is for groups more than 7 and comes at an additional cost
** Security Cameras - The outside of the property is monitored by security cameras for security purposes.

Great vacation
Very well appointed cottage for a group. Lots of space, great wifi, excellent kitchen for cooking lots of fantastic meals! Bbq and deck area super comfortable. Lake water very clean, shallow for small kids if that’s important to you. Enclosed sunroom very relaxing. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which is super convenient! Would absolutely stay again. Grocery stores, WalMart etc about a 20 min drive away but didn’t bother us at all. Easy drive when we needed it. Super responsive host!!

A little bit of paradise
This was our second visit to Hummingbird Cove (Trout Lake). The property is well listed, clean, spacious and overlooks the most gorgeous lake. Our stay was peaceful and quiet, the perfect getaway from our busy city lives. Alex and Sam have clear, concise instructions on check-in, the garbage process, and any other questions are answered promptly. We love this rental and will be back! Bard & Erin

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
Alex lives and works in the UK with his Canadian wife and 3 daughters in a small chapel in a typical English village. Loves to travel to hidden away places and indulge in local delicacies..

Why they chose this property

We loved the people on the lake already but when we found the house was for sale, we saw the opportunity to transform this house into a home from home as we regularly visit Nova Scotia to see family and friends. My wife enjoyed renovating the property from top to toe.
Placement is ideal! We can quickly get to some of the South Shore's best ocean beaches or head north to witness some of the best whale watching we have ever experienced.

What makes this property unique

Set in one of the most beautiful lake locations with a wonderful friendly community around the lake.
The beach is an added bonus with shallow water out to at least 50 meters, the water gets warm very quickly..
