The cottage is in a wooded area with beaches a short drive away. The cottage is very comfortable to be in.We especially enjoyed the wood stove in the living room area and the deck out front. I would recommend this property to any future guests.
Me and my husband had a great time at Melissa’s cabin over the Easter weekend! It was clean with everything we needed and communication with her was easy and quick.
This is the second time we stayed here. It was wonderful. Perfect for the whole family and my two dogs, so much so that we just booked it again for the fall
The weather was frightful, but our stay was delightful!
We really enjoyed our May long weekend getaway here. It didn't matter that the weather was cold and rainy because we cozied up in front of the woodstove, or sat around the spacious table playing board games. There was enough room that we didn't feel crowded being cooped up together, and the cabin had all the amenities we could have wanted. When it dried up a bit, we enjoyed the short walk to the lake and the many outdoor spaces for relaxing around the cabin.
The cabin provided all the amenities for a weekend retreat though many weren’t used by us. Great for family.Indoor was nice and clean however the exterior ground needed some TLC with weeding and adding flowers.Beautiful Lester Beach nearby. Playground is only a 10 mins walk.
My family and I just stayed here and we had a great time. The cabin was clean and cozy. It rained at one point and staying inside was no issue for our kids as the cabin provided plenty of indoor activities. Often with cabins the beds tend to be an issue but not here, the beds were very comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again.
Stayed here for 2 nights with my family and 2 dogs. The place was very comfortable and roomy. We mostly just huddled around the fire and played some games. I would definitely stay here again, maybe during the summer months though
Great and well-appointed space - lots of room with open kitchen, dining and living room space. Loved the large mudroom entrance especially with a large dog. Very nice property. Very prompt and helpful replies from owner - thanks so much Melissa!
This was a lovely winter retreat. Lots of windows, bedrooms were simple and the main area was open and inviting. We couldn't enjoy the yard as it was still snowy, but the trees around the property helped it feel quite private.
The cabin is lovely and with an outdoor fire pit, south facing deck and north facing screened in porch, you can practically live outside if you want to. It was wonderful to relax and listen to the birds. The trees surrounding the property keep it private, and the neighbourhood is quite quiet.
The property was everything as advertised. Very clean, fully equipped and the owner was very easy to communicate with and very cooperative. Short walk to the lake and playground. Easy and short drive to Hillside Beach, Lester Beach, Victoria Beach and Grand Beach.
Bonus was full access to Netflix, Prime, Bell Live TV, etc when you just felt like chilling out. We plan to stay again.
This was our 2nd time renting this cabin and we loved it!
There was plenty of space for our group of 3 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. We loved the spacious mudroom, (for loading up to and from the beaches) the beautiful screen porch, and really all of the outdoor and indoor spaces and layout! It is very true to the description and photos.
As with our experience the previous year, the host was very friendly and prompt to reply!
I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a nice place to stay for a getaway close to all the beaches in the area.
My family really enjoyed our stay at this cabin! (3 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs) There was enough space for all of us comfortably and we made use of most of them, inside and out. The photos and description were accurate. We were pleasantly surprised by all that the surrounding area had to offer as well. Melissa was so friendly and quick to respond to any questions. I would recommend this place.
We really enjoyed our short stay, wished it could have been longer! My family was very comfortable and happy. The area is beautiful for exploring and walking around. We appreciated the air conditioning, large kitchen, and the screened in porch, It’s very large and tons of seating. We had just about everything we needed, just a few minor essentials were missing but overall it was a very nice stay. We will definitely rent again and refer the cottage to others. Thank you Melissa for all your help and prompt responses to my questions.
We had a great time, the sunroom was our fav, so peacefulThe cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Thanks for the coffee! I am scent sensitive and the fragrance of dryer sheets on the bedding & towels was not good for me. Have you tried dryer balls ( store buy) or vinegar in the rinse water. I think there are non perfumed dyer sheets as well. Over the door hooks and more towel racks would be an asset. The yard needs some TLC. I am a gardener and if the tools were there I would have planted the garden. We were able to access the gate lamps and clean out all the debris stuck to the bulb....much brighter.
Our group of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids (teen & tween) and 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crane’s Nest cottage in Belair. The cottage was clean and there was enough room for our group, we enjoyed spending time in the screened area at the back of the cottage. There’s lots of outdoor seating options. The cottage has everything there that you need, though we brought our own coffee maker (there’s a Keurig). It was rainy/cool during our stay but we still had a great time playing games, relaxing, and watching movies/shows. Wifi was great and there’s a firestick. There’s a park and view of the water/sunset within a short waling distance and Lester beach is a short drive away, as well as Albert and Grand beach. The welcome book from the owner has lots of useful details about the area. It’s generally very quiet area, lots of trees, birds and we saw a fox, deer and even a small bear in the area. All in all a very nice place, area and getaway. Owner was also easy, quick and pleasant to communicate with.
