Guest Testimonials

Very comfortable for a family.

Our last day at the cottage how the time has flown! We know of the village of West Green Harbor, smells of the sea, cries of the sea gulls, the lobster pots drying in the sun, the bold colours of the lupins swaying along the road, the gentle breeze fades into the distance as we fly home - we leave with fond memories of the soft rhythm of life in Nova Scotia.  The house and location is tranquil, restful and easy on the soul. We end this journey with a smile and leave a little of ourselves behind.

What a perfect location for a holiday, especially for the two week quarantine. We had a wonderful stay at this cottage and in the area.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful spot with us - Moose Harbour View Cottage.  The kids loved the beaches, rock climbing/hiking, seals at Keji, rabbits in the grass and simply playing in the wide open yard.
