15 min to Bent Ridge Winery, 1 hour to HRM, this secluded lakefront chalet has a private dock, kayaks & SUP, fire pit, BBQ, movie projector, record player, wifi & murder mystery games. Designed with comfort & coziness first to set the stage for an unforgettable getaway. Great for romantic getaways, kitchen parties, and family vacations.

The space
Walk down to the lake for a peaceful morning coffee over the lake. Head to Bent Ridge Winery to take in the valley views for lunch and then hit the slopes at Ski Martock. Have a hot chocolate by the lake with the propane firepit. Enjoy the romantically lit gardens and fire pit at night, stream a show on the bedroom movie projector, or tackle a murder mystery before bed (Hunt a Killer Murder Mysteries rotated each month). Designed with comfort and coziness as a number one priority, this inviting forest cabin is enjoyable in all seasons and weather. Perfect for a romantic getaway, a trip with friends, or a work retreat (wifi tested with Zoom calls and streaming Netflix!).

Bedrooms:

The main level bedroom, "The Early Bird" has a queen-sized bed and is conveniently located by the kitchen and washroom, perfect for the early riser who wants to sneak down to the lake with a cup of coffee for a sunrise kayak.

The large primary bedroom, "The Night Owl", located on the second floor doubles as a movie room featuring a projector (84” projector screen) with a Chromecast so you can enjoy all your favorite Netflix, Crave, and Prime movies and TV shows from bed! Invite your friends from across the hall to cozy up on the loveseat or pile into the queen-size bed.

The third bedroom, located on the second floor, “The Nest”, has two single beds - each nestled below a window.

Outside:

This peaceful wooded cabin has a deck with a BBQ and patio table, views of the lake, a whimsically lit pathway, and gardens leading to the fire pit, with lots of chairs to lounge in.

Follow the steps leading into the forest and take the 200 ft winding path down to the lake to your private lakeside deck with Adirondack chairs and dock. The lakefront is quiet with very few motorized boats, perfect for swimming! 2 kayaks, 1 stand-up paddle board, life jackets, and floatation tubes are provided.

*Note that the trail leading down to the lake is a steep forested path so sturdy footwear is recommended on the 90-second journey. Access to the dock also requires walking down some large rocks. Stock up the cooler with drinks so you don’t have to hike up the hill too often!


Guests must drive 6 minutes along a dirt road that can be bumpy in certain seasons (the roads are graded every spring and fall) but potholes can be an issue at times.

*Note that the trail leading down to the lake is a forested path with some large tree roots and is steep in parts so sturdy footwear is recommended on the 90-second journey (200 ft). Access to the dock is a little rocky but there is a beach and boat launch just minutes away if you prefer a sandy beach.
