Vacation Rental Description

Raspberry Island Cottage in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, could be your home 
for a vacation you’ll always treasure. 
 
You can’t beat the location − on an island (reached by causeway) −  
with 270 degree ocean and bay views, stunning sunrises competing for 
your attention with breath-taking sunsets, and eagles, loons, osprey 
and other water birds galore.  
 
Best kept secret:  The fall months are fabulous!  Great weather, 
everything's still open, and there are fewer tourists.  Yes, you CAN 
get away (write that book you always thought about?) 
 
And you’re a short drive away from Lunenburg, a UNESCO Heritage town, 
with its picturesque Victorian architecture, unique shops and art 
galleries, fabulous restaurants, tall ships and Fisheries Museum. 
Across the harbor are some of the prettiest unspoiled fishing villages 
in the Province, Blue Rocks and Stonehurst (location for the movie 
Dolores Claiborne) with unimaginably beautiful kayaking opportunities. 
 
Down the road is the Ovens Natural Park, where, in addition to the 
dramatic sea caves and hiking, you can catch Steve Chapin (Harry’s 
brother), providing NY quality cabaret 5 nights a week. 
Nearby Mahone Bay offers its own charms as well, and it’s a good place 
to rent bikes and kayaks or sign up for whale watching.  
 
We're also close to Hirtles' and Kingsburg Beaches with spectacular 
hiking along the sea cliffs. 
Halifax, with its museums, music and pubs, is a little over an hour 
away, Peggy’s Cove lighthouse under an hour.  The Annapolis Valley, 
Kejimkujik National Wildlife Preserve, local wineries, and the 40’ Bay 
of Fundy tides are convenient day trips. 
 
The cottage sleeps 6 (two bedrooms - 1 queen 1 double, and a loft for 
kids reached by ladder) and a single bath.  
 
If you want a base to explore one of the prettiest, most charming 
locations in Maritime Canada (like Maine but more laid back and less 
crowded), walk along pristine beaches, or just kick back and relax on 
the 14’x26’ deck (without the US heat and congestion), this is the 
place for you. 
 
Transportation: Many direct flights to Halifax, Nova Scotia. High-speed 
car ferries from Portland and Bar Harbor, Maine.

Vacation Rental Amenities

The cottage is fully equipped with everything you’ll need (kitchen, 
coffee maker, microwave, towels and linens), and has stereo, VCR/DVD, 
and Cable TV/internet (and a good supply of books, music and classic 
videos). But with so much to see and do, why would you want to stay 
indoors?

Activities and Attractions

Nearby:  kayaking, hiking, bike rentals, museums and art galleries, 
shopping, restaurants, concerts (folk, jazz and classical), golf, sailing 
tours and whale watching, scuba diving (What most scuba divers call 
the best diving experience on Canada's east coast is a visit to HMCS 
Saguenay on the bottom of Lunenburg Bay.)
