Serenity Cottage is a little corner of Heaven
Sandra and Bill are fantastic hosts, who have built and outfitted this tiny home with such thoughtfulness and intention, that it was very difficult to bid it goodbye. The Southern Shore of Nova Scotia is one of the most beautiful- and friendliest - places I have ever been. Im counting down the days until I can visit next. Or retire here.

Absolutely amazing property! The pictures do not do it justice. It is far larger than it appears and is beautifully crafted and well appointed. It is well situated to explore the south shore and is delightful to just hang out in. The hosts are very helpful and readily accessible. A total winner!!

Awesome time
We had an awesome time here, despite sharing it with Hurricane Lee. Our hosts, Sandy & Bill, made sure we were safe and that we had power throughout the storm. The house itself was pristine and met all of our needs and more. The hosts were fabulous people and we shared a fun bonfire evening with them plus many enjoyable conversations.

An Unforgettable Stay with Beyond Outstanding Hospitality in Chester, Nova Scotia
Our recent stay in Chester, Nova Scotia was an absolute delight, all thanks to the exceptional rental tiny house and the warm hospitality of Bill and Sandy. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the immaculate cleanliness of the place. It was, without a doubt, the cleanest accommodation we've ever experienced. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the tiny house. Everything was flawlessly organized and well-maintained, reflecting the hard work and dedication of the hosts. Bill and Sandy were incredibly classy, gracious and friendly, making us feel right at home. They were always prompt in responding to any queries, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. The property itself was a haven of tranquility. We enjoyed spending time in the well-tended vegetable garden, and the fresh eggs provided for us were a treat. Bill and Sandy's two dogs were well-mannered and added a homely atmosphere to the surroundings. For the adventurous souls, the availability of kayaks was a great bonus. A simple text away, and we could venture out for some fun on the water. It truly made our stay even more special. Our experience at this rental tiny house in Chester, Nova Scotia, was nothing short of exceptional. Bill and Sandy's warm personalities, along with the pristine cleanliness of the place, made it a memorable stay. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a rejuvenating retreat in beautiful Nova Scotia.

Not too tiny. Modern and comfortable!
The tiny house was not too tiny! Beds very comfortable with superior linens. All fixtures & furnishings were modern & top-notch. Dishes supplied, Keurig & coffee too. Beautiful soaker tub, but not enough hot water to fill it. Ladder to loft could use some safety features (non-slip pads, something to hold into) and a coat rack and towel bars would have been handy. The hosts were awesome and the grounds were beautiful. We will definitely come back here on our next trip.

A small piece of paradise on the outskirts of Chester
What a wonderful vacation we had thanks to Sandra and Bill and their beautiful home! They went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. Only a short 4 minute drive to downtown Chester, the house was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. Upon arriving we couldn’t help but be in awww of the beautifully manicured gardens all around the property. The house itself is beautifully decorated and offers all of the amenities one could ask for. The kitchen was clearly designed by someone who loves to cook and entertain. A beautiful dining room table seating 8, was the perfect venue for family dinners. Both bedrooms were beautifully arranged, spacious and offered very comfortable beds. The private balcony off the master bedroom was a wonderful touch as well. The outdoor seating area was perfect for relaxing and having a nice outdoor meal. We had a wonderful stay and hope to come back again! Thanks for such great hospitality.

👍👍👍👍👍 This "BEAUTIFUL" home was beyond expectations. When we arrived and got out of our truck, the first thing we noticed was the beautiful landscaping. It kept getting better as we entered the home. This home looked fresh out of a home interior magazine BUT it was as comfortable as it was beautiful. Great little town with a ferry within a short drive, good restaurants as well. Rent boats and enjoy the water, go hiking, scenic drives. Halifax is a great place to visit and spend the day. You can't go wrong staying here. The owners are very gracious and their garden made me so envious.
