Scenery, quiet, tranquility, quietest cottage we have ever stayed at. Went down Blanche Rd. to the end (about 10 min from cottage) and walked the beach and rocks at low tide. Saw a colony of seals barking on the rocks. Don't miss Cape Forchu outside of Yarmouth. Outstanding!
I had a very enjoyable and peaceful stay. Elm Tree Cottage has all the comforts that one would need for a decent stay. I was there for nearly 3 weeks and enjoyed coming back in the evening to this cosy little cottage. It is nicely decorated, great shower, comfortable bed, good kitchen and good internet. The owners live nearby such that if anything is needed (like losing the key) they are there to provide it. Thank you for sharing your comfortable home with us. Even on cloudy days, the house always felt bright and airy, especially the fantastic sun room. We appreciated the tide clock as going to the beach became the center of our days here. Such a lovely place.

Helen and the owners were very accommodating to our needs leading up to the stay and during as well. The location is amazing, and we loved having a spotting scope and binoculars to watch wildlife. The house is a good size and could have easily accommodated more than our family of four, beds are comfortable and the living room comes with a nicely tuned piano, which we loved playing."Jared, 2022 "Black Point Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. We thought that it was a very comfortable home that was rustic but full of character and tasteful touches. The land is really amazing. That such a large and untouched tract by the ocean even exists and can be rented is a marvel. It was beautiful in every direction with so much wildlife, and beautiful smells and sounds." J.

Wonderful
We stayed at Elm Tree Cottage while buying a house in Shelburne. Perfect. We’d recommend for anyone. No space for kids or guests but for a couple it’s perfect! Great host.
