Summer stay at Michaelmas Cottage
Michaelmas Cottage is in the little settlement called Granville Ferry, which would be a great location if there was a nearby general store or cafe. But Annapolis Royal is a short drive away and necessities can be found there. Jennifer's antique home is charmingly filled with photographs and books. I imagine it is quite cozy in the winer. We stayed there for two weeks in August. Most nights were cool enough to be comfortable, but when it is hot the bedrooms get really hot. There was only one working fan (for 3 bedrooms ) when we arrived, but we messaged Jennifer and she ordered two more from the hardware store in Annapolis Royal and we picked them up. Mosquitos were a real problem, so bring bug spray if you visit in the summer. There are easily accessible hiking trails in the area (Delaps Cove a favorite), and neighbors are friendly. Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard and grandkids were enchanted with a chipmunk in the woodpile. Arch & Po bakery in Annapolis Royal is great, as is the German Bakery. We loved the book stores and ice cream at One Scoop, Two Scoops.
