Guest TestimonialsGreat vacation rental, excellent location for a cabin getaway I stayed at Castaway Ocean Lodge over the Remembrance Day long weekend in November 2011 (Nov 11-13). The location on the lake is terrific! The view from the decks that wrap around the cabin are amazing and tranquil. The added nicety of having a hot tub with access to the same views was also terrific! The cabin has an open concept inside which made hanging out with friends while cooking, eating, watching a movie, etc very easy. Definitely a great spot and we would go back for sure!
Maybe we are the first Sandy Lane cottage renters to write about this beautiful cottage, if so, I'll write some things I'm sure will become redundent soon. What a breathless perfect place. The building, views, breeze, wildlife and BEACH! WOW! It is humbling to experience a place where such care and passion has been placed to create a sanctuary in a rare and delicate envrionment. Thanks to the owners and Sandy Lane for the wonderful opportunity to experience it!

DescriptionPort Medway is a picturesque fishing village overlooking the Medway Harbour. Originally called “Port Moltare” by French pioneers. In 1760, English speaking fishermen settled in the area; changed the name to Port Medway and helped to develop the village into a thriving shipping community. Cargoes of salted and dried fish were shipped to the United States, Caribbean and South America. Lumber from the sawmills of Greenfield, Charleston and Mill Village were loaded on ships and sailed to foreign ports. There were approximately twenty families resident in the settlement who erected a Baptist Meeting House and a schoolhouse. Both of these buildings have been preserved and serve important functions in the village. Today the town is a vibrant community that supports a local fishing industry and plays host to an annual Literary festival. The Port Medway Readers’ Festival was founded in 2002 by Cynthia Wine and Philip Slayton continuing the tradition of the “Tennysonian Reading Circle”, started by the ladies of Port Medway in 1903. Past authors include Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Linden McIntyre, Donna Morrissey and many other award-winning writers reading from their latest works. The festival takes place during the months of July and August with a variety of readings all held at the Old Meeting House – the original Baptist Meeting House. The original Medway Head Lighthouse has been preserved and is now a charming Lighthouse Park with a picnic area, walking paths and an exhibit space. AddressPort Medway, Nova ScotiaGoogle Map |

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.
