Our family home is located in the Village of Chester, with an abundance of charm and comfort.

We bought this house in 2011 after the birth or our first child. Here we had 2 more. WE love to entertain and our home has always been open door policy to friends and family. As work and school now requires our time to be divided, we are happy to open our home to like minded guests looking to enjoy the quiet of the village, the sky uninhibited by city lights which is often full of stars, the sea air, and to gather and share time, space, laughter and love as we still do to this day :)

A spacious open main floor with expansive windows, fireplace, lends itself to entertaining.

Fully equipped open kitchen with all new stainless steel appliances including a double oven. Dining room table with 2 extensions available with seating for 10 plus more, plus a charming, comfortable living room with sitting area and a propane fireplace overlooking the private backyard including outdoor seating, outdoor dining, Propane BBQ, and a chiminea . This home has a relaxing atmosphere and is ready for you to enjoy a fabulous Chester holiday.

Well suited to accommodate large families and friends as the house can sleep to 10-14 adults or more.

The property was large and very spacious. It was clean and comfortable. The house is near the water and close to town. We stayed here for a work conference, and it was nice for everyone to have their own space.
