Summary: Overall so pleased with the week. If I had to say a negative it would be that the bunkie had no screens on the windows and just fans for cooling. I also didn’t realize that the bedrooms would be so warm…not unbearable though and nothing the owner could do about that. The owner was so generous with kitchen supplies,towels,bathroom supplies and water. We used the kayaks etc and really enjoyed the lake between running around to the sights of Nova Scotia.Thank you Lyndy for a marvellous vacation.
