Guest Testimonials

Arrived 1 day late in the wake of Hurricane Earl but our cottage was certanily worth the wait. What a lovely, well equipped cottage and gorgeous view! Thank you Helen and John for your concern about our safe arrival.

This location is exceptional and the cottage itself was immaculate!

The morning coffee in the dining room or the back yard has to be enjoyed in person to fully understand the exceptional scenery and peace of the location.

Absolutely no regrets on this stay and will be looking forward to another trip to Rising Sun

Great place and location for privacy.

The cottage is bright and cheery.

Fishing, biking, hiking and even golf not too far away.

Best of all, dog friendly so our 4 legged buddies had fun too.

We have had a very enjoyable and relaxing time in Nova Scotia. We explored numerous beaches; ate at Charlotte Lane; got out on the water; poked around Shelburne; watched a meteor shower and spied deer as they crept across the lawn. Our cottage was well equipped for entertaining and cooking and especially relaxing! In fact, many hours were spent simply reading on the porch. We even managed to forget which day it was for a while!
