Writer's Retreat: Privacy within sight and sound of the sea

Writer's Retreat is a rustic cottage on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Set well back from a narrow road, it offers privacy combined with sea views, a two-kilometer sand beach, and a walking trail around one of the headlands that protect the beach. The rustic exterior belies the comforts within--a kitchen with all modern conveniences (except a dishwasher), two full bathrooms, and three bedrooms. There is also a screened porch with table and chairs for meals al fresco but without bugs, and an open deck as well.To walk to the beach you have a choice of two well marked paths. It takes about ten minutes. There is also a lake back of the seafront with a small sand beach suitable for young children or swimmers who do not like the bracing North Atlantic waves.

Nearby is the beautiful town of Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It also boasts a good number of excellent restaurants, ranging from fish and chips to fine dining. For supplies, there is a small grocery store about five km from the cottage, and larger grocery stores in the towns of Lunenburg and Bridgewater.

My own family have been coming here from childhood. The cottage is not available in late July or August because it will be filled with our children and grandchildren.

A wonderful getaway location located above one of the most beautiful beaches in Nova Scotia. The tree framed view of Gaff Point and West Ironbound Island was gorgeous and churn of the waves were a constant companion in a soundscape devoid of urban noise. The property is an authentic cabin, warm and welcoming, with everything we needed for our stay. Rosalie was a great host, responsive and helpful.

Two lovely weeks in July, a pefect location, and a cozy, well equipped cottage to come home to after days spent out and about in the area, including nearby Hirtle's Beach. We love the area so much, and Rosalie's cottage was the perfect combination of easy beach access and quiet R&R. Gorgeous views on clear days, and nicely screened from the nearby road. We miss it already.

We had a lovely time at this well-appointed home. We were close to a great hike at Gaff Point and could walk to Hirtle’s Beach as well. Everything was very clean and as it was very chilly the night we arrived, it was wonderful to be able to sit in front of a fire and warm up. The rest of the week was warmer and we especially loved sitting out in the screened porch. We would definitely stay here again.

The Writer's Retreat was a lovely spot to experience the wild beauty of the Riverport/ Upper Kingsburg area of Nova Scotia. The directions were patiently provided to drive to this house, which had a wonderful view of the water through the downward slope of the extensive lawn.Rabbits, deer, and even a badger were sighted while we were there! It was a comfortable house layout for 3 adults which provided 3 private bedrooms , and 2 bathrooms. A wood burning stove was an additional heating option, though we only used it a few times since the weather was Spring like through our stay in early June. The Rose Bay store was a convenient country store with a variety of foods to cook, as well as wine and cider to accompany them. There is also a restaurant on site to consider if the drive to Bridgewater,or Lunenberg for larger markets is not on the immediate schedule. We also enjoyed the views, beaches, and museums, just short drives away. There is a fun, brief ferry ride, while sitting comfortably in your own car as well. The house was clean and the pictures were accurate.A great choice to explore the region, just about an hour drive from Halifax!

Great Stay At Writer's Retreat

My wife and I had a wonderful week at this rustic and well appointed cottage in Upper Kingsburg. The place was clean, comfortable, and has a completely outfitted kitchen. Most importantly, the bed in the master bedroom slept well. The location is gorgeous. The sound of the surf on Hirtle's Beach was a constant companion. The hike around Gaff Point is a must. The scenery is fantastic and the trail is moderate with some sections crisscrossed by tree roots. Stay safely back from the eroding cliff edges - if you're sensible you'll be fine. If the fates allow it, we'll be back some day for another stay, without question! PS. Don't miss having a meal at the Rosebay General Store. The lobster roll there is the best I've had anywhere.

Charming quiet cottage

Set in rolling hills with views and sounds of the sea and surf, this cozy, clean, well-equipped cottage deserves its many 5-star reviews . The master bedroom and the loft, each with a full bathroom, were perfect for two couples. There are two interesting paths to the beach. We delighted in the outdoor warm water shower for salt and sand removal and the spectacular dark sky views of stars and the Milky Way. Rosalie, a writer and university educator, was a pleasure to work with (her books are now on our reading list). We look forward to our next visit to Writer's Retreat. Thanks, Rosalie.

Wonderful Family Vacation!

We had a wonderful family vacation here! It was a great home base which allowed us to discover Nova Scotia's South Shore and location allowed day trips to Halifax and Peggy's Cove. Hirtle's Beach and Sand Dollar Beach were both convenient and lovely. It was clean and had lots of space for everyone! Owners were easy to communicate with and responsive to questions throughout our stay. It had everything we wanted and more!

Beautiful Rustic Cottage

Overall, this rustic cottage was a great place to stay. Daily walks to the beach were fabulous as was the beach itself. The walking paths to the beach might be challenging for some and it took a bit to find the access points. The screened in porch was nice and the southern exposure deck has a lovely view of the ocean. One of the bedrooms is an open loft area. It was definitely very private and relaxing with the sound of waves in the distance. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Spring break in upper KIngsberg

Authentic family holiday cottage. The house is very comfortable and full of character and personal touches. The view of the waves crashing against the rocks on Goff Point is spectacular. Hirtles Bay beach is a joy to walk along. Lots of wildlife -deer, porcupines, ospreys plunging into the bay to take fish! A wonderful place!

Great spot, as advertised

A wonderful place to get away from it all. The cottage came as advertised; very clean and well-stocked (a new vegetable peeler in the kitchen would be nice!). Location is wonderful for solitude and relaxation. Look out for deer - they are everywhere, and we came inches from hitting one in the fog one night. Rosalie (and Oliver) was very attentive to our needs, and responded very quickly whenever we had a query, like finding the key to get in.
