Lake Front Paradise on Ponhook in the Heart of Nova Scotia

Spacious and comfortable. Beautiful lake views from large deck livingroom and dining room.Kitchen has everything we needed to cook and serve 8 of us.We loved being on the lake in kayaks, canoe, and paddle board. Glad we wore our river shoes.House allows for gathering together as weell as having private time iin lovely spaces.

What an amazing property and location! We alternated between "stay at home" days and all-day "excursions" to the far reaches of lower Nova Scotia. Lunenburg, Liverpool, Wolfville, Annapolis Royal, Digby, and Long Island are all within 2.5 hours drive on mostly-empty roads. Only saw two RCMPs in 13 days, so very little speed limit enforcement. Hit the NSLC Signature stores in Bridgewater, Liverpool, or Lunenburg for the best wines. The house is well equipped for cooking and we did just that on most days. We found the butcher shop and Soeby's in Bridgewater had the meats, fish, and produce that we needed. The house has a brand-new set of 12 steak knives from Canadian Tire.

Our family of 6 stayed here for a week. We used the house as both a place to relax and as a jumping off point to do other activities in Nova Scotia. We loved it here. We enjoyed numerous outings on Ponhook Lake in the canoes, kayaks and stand up paddleboard provided by the owner. The house is beautiful, clean and very well kept up. The location is stunning, with the beautiful Ponhook lake in a wilderness setting with endless opportunities for exploration. A perfect place to stay if you want to enjoy the wild beauty of the Nova Scotia country as well make day trips to other places such as Halifax, Lunenburg, or Kejimkujik. Scott, the owner, sent us a very thorough document with all the information we needed to get into the house and enjoy ourselves. He also included information about the area, which was very helpful to planning our trip. Lovely house, wonderful hosts-we can’t recommend this house enough!

Our family of 9 (including an infant who arrived after the reservation was made!) had a most wonderful week at Ponhook Lake. Scott is a wonderful host who patiently answered all our questions and provided lots of valuable information about the area along with great suggestions for places to explore. But then we chose to spend a lot of our time at the house...our 6 year old granddaughter learned to paddle board and our 9 year old grandson learned to kayak and spent many hours hunting for tadpoles and frogs. Our youngest appreciated the hammock and running on the spacious deck. The adults thoroughly enjoyed leisure time listening to loons and trying every means of floating on the water...canoes, kayaks and paddle board. This beautiful, well equipped home supported all our needs and more! Thank you for sharing your little bit of paradise with us, Scott!
