Guest Testimonials

Ocean Vista Cottage is a very comfortable, easy to "be at home" in! The view is breathtaking and an easy stroll to the wharf and beach. It's great!

We are delighted by the cottage! You thought of everything for our comfort and enjoyment. Thank you. The marsh view is gorgeous. The light on the water and the grasses were every changing. We have enjoyed watching a marsh hawk hunt for his supper. Cape Sable Island and Bird's I View cottage has been a delightful place.

We have enjoyed a very relaxing week in Moose Harbour Cottage. It was a great base for us to explore Nova Scotia and we have got lots of good memiories and photos to take home with us.  You have managed to make our first trip to Canada amazing and we are already planning when we might be able to come back.

Sai Beach House is a beautiful property! We decided this was going to be our anniversary spot each and every year! It was a little chilly here mid-October but the fall leaves were unbelievable!

Description

Originally built in 1850 by Captain George McLean, as a carriage house for the neighbouring property, this attractive cottage has been completely renovated and restored, retaining its original charm and character, with wide pine floorboards and tall baseboards.

A traditional floor plan, the house features two bedrooms and a 4-piece bathroom upstairs. The large master bedroom has a queen size bed, while the second bedroom has two twin beds. Both rooms have plenty of closet space, antique dressers and views of the garden and the harbour.

Downstairs is comprised of a large fully equipped, eat-in kitchen, living room and separate dining room. A curio cupboard in the dining room displays beautiful Asian inspired dishes. While in the kitchen, another traditional built-in hutch has glassware and other decorative items. Simply decorated with antiques, hooked rugs, wall hangings, and other traditional Nova Scotia handiwork the house is a delightful tribute to Nova Scotia’s rich history. It is easy to imagine what it was like when its original owner – the one legged Sea Captain lived there.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I have been to the cottage and I am quite familiar with the property.

Location

Captain McLean’s Carriage House is located in the picturesque harbour town of Shelburne on Nova Scotia’s famous Lighthouse Coast. It is exactly 100 of my steps from the front door of this delightful carriage house to the Shelburne Harbour waterfront.

Shelburne Harbour is perhaps the most picturesque harbour in all of Nova Scotia. Over 16 kms long, this large, natural deep-water harbour is undeveloped and unspoiled by industry or shipping. The harbour supports a few small fishing villages, the town of Shelburne, some lobster fishing wharfs, a yacht club and a number of beautiful beaches. Across the harbour from the Carriage House is Islands Provincial Park – a protected park land of that is well treed and a favourite walk for locals. Because the cottage is located on this quiet harbour, the waterfront is suitable for launching a kayak.

Guestbook

"Thank you for a comfortable home for our stay while visiting family and friends."
E. Gosline, Portland, USA, August 2009

"What a charming, well-appointed little home is the Captain McLean's Carriage House! We have been so comfortable and content in this historic and lovely setting, it will be very difficult to drive away. Shelburne is a delight for 'land-lubbers' seeking fresh seafood, good (super) accommodations and sightseeing - beaches, museums, period costumes, pleasant faces and helpful info everywhere. Farewell Nova Scotia. We'll miss you and not forget what we've learned about the folks who make this province great nor those who went before to build its fabulous towns."
C. Clarke, Ontario, September 2009
