Binnenshuis je overal, muren vol met originele kunst, oosterse tapijten op de vloeren en luxe meubels overal worden begroet met warm kersenhout. Alle voorzieningen zijn er om u te verwennen tijdens uw verblijf, waaronder een draagbare wieg en kinderstoel voor de kleintjes. Als de nachten zijn koel er is niets beter dan curling in de open haard met een goed boek of film. De sfeer is warm en vriendelijk, kleurrijke en artistieke.
Het uitzicht vanuit elke kamer zijn spectaculair. Al onze gasten vertellen ons dat de foto's niet helemaal correct is. Het is echt een prachtige plek!

A fantastic place to stay
My family and I stayed for a week. The property was fantastic. He had a wonderful and relaxing time here. Tiiu was an amazing host, she went above and beyond, doing a lobster dinner for us. The dinner and location could not have been better.One of our top vacations for sure.

Delightful Vacation
The cottage was better than described and a joy to enjoy. It is in the countryside beside water but close enough to a city for the conveniences needed.

Lovely location
Great spot for a family get together. Stayed for a week while visiting family in the area and we had a great time. Ocean access and a wonderful grass yard for kids to run around in. Ocean access is rocky but they do have adult size shoes to make it easier.

I can’t say enough about this property and the owners. Hugh was most accommodating and the property is very well appointed and very comfortable. If you want a quiet relaxing place to get away. This is it!

Magical for kids!
Tiiu and Hugh were so exceptionally warm and truly made the experience more magical than just a property. We travelled with young kids - the rock beach was perfect for exploring - the kids loved finding treasures of oyster shells and crab claws. Tiiu was highly responsive to any questions and swiftly solved any problems that arose. This place will stay close in our hearts!

Beautiful house with amazing views
All 3 generations of our family enjoyed our stay in this lovely home, full of character and art. Tiiu and Hugh were very welcoming and accommodating. While the weather and mosquitos were challenging, we look forward to a return visit some day!

Perfect Home for a Family Gathering!
Tiiu’s home is the ideal place for family or friends from near and far to get together. The house itself is lovely and spacious and the setting is beautiful. We were able to take turns preparing meals and the well stocked cupboards meant that we didn’t have to bring all the basic supplies with us. Tiiu was friendly and welcoming and made sure that we had everything we needed.

Family Nova Scotia vacation
After driving 10+ hrs through a torrential rain storm, the house was warm and welcoming with lights lit. Beautifully appointed! The location is absolutely breathtaking. Tiiu could not have been more accommodating throughout our stay. The house was well stocked.
A great central location to explore the highlands of Nova Scotia.
Oh yes, those pesky mosquitoes!

The home was lovely and filled with beautiful art. The description of the property was very accurate. Due to the lack of rain in NS this summer, we had to be careful about water usage because the home has a well. There were only 4 of us but it could have been an issue if we had more people. Our hosts were lovely people. The location was more remote than I expected but it’s not far from Antigonish. The mosquitos were a problem for us, especially in the morning and at dusk. The hosts had mosquito repellents available for us to use. Overall we had a nice stay.

Not sure
5 adults, three children (11, 5 and 3)
Aug 19 - rented for two weeks
Inside:
- plenty of condiments, spices and basic staples for use in the kitchen/bath/laundry. No need to bring anything in this regard
- wifi working very well
- there is a very comprehensive "book of rules" to follow
- the owner addressed promptly the fridge light not working issue
- there are 4 bedrooms, not five; there is a windowless/doorless room with a pullout in the basement in addition to two other bedrooms there
- there is a musty smell in the basement and most rooms upstairs (especially bathroom)
- the area rugs over the carpets are better to be avoided; easy to trip
- the house is more like someone's home not a vacation property
Outside:
- nice water views
- not suitable for swimming
- relentless mosquitoes; we started a bonfire by the water but couldn't stay there; being outside equaled being bitten and attacked constantly.
- to spend time outside we needed to drive somewhere else
I recommend:
- Pomquet beach - half an hour, Cape George Point (magnificent views) - half an hour, Antigonish (nice little town with all shops and eateries needed) - 10 mins unless the only road is being repaired.

Beautiful ocean-side location in northern Nova Scotia
This property is beautiful, relaxing, and quiet. There are extensive lawns and a long stretch of private rocky beach with many shorebirds. The house itself is large, with four enclosed bedrooms and one living area downstairs that can be converted to sleeping space. As described, the house is home to an artist, who lives next door to the property during the summertime. There are many works of art and items of unique character throughout the house. There were extensive instructions in the welcome binder regarding cleaning, using the dishwasher and washing machine, recycling regulations, and conserving water in the event that the hand-dug well begins to go dry during a hot summer. (As this was a wet summer, we had no issues with water during our stay.) It is important to carefully read the detailed instructions and to adhere to them, as additional fees or charges may apply if the instructions are disregarded. The house was well-stocked with dishes and cookware, toilet paper, paper towels, pantry items, and hand soap. The heat pump that provided cool air on humid days was much appreciated. There is ample seating, and linens and towels are provided. If we could suggest one thing it would be to add a clothesline for bathing suits and towels, or for more eco-friendly drying of clothing. Our interactions with our host were positive and friendly and she was quick to welcome us to the property.

IF IT'S NOT BOOKED GRAB IT!! YOU WON'T BE SORRY.
We were fortunate enough to stay at this beautiful property for a week this summer. There are so many special things about this property that it is hard to list them all, but I will give a few of the highlights.
1. Tiiu, the owner, is fantastic. She is a kind, gentle, good soul who we instantly felt a great connection with. She is so eager to tell you about her land or about special places in and around Antigonish.
2. All over the property you will find sculptures and benches made of fallen logs.
3. The kitchen is very well equipped and a pleasure to cook in.
4. The house was very clean when we arrived.
5. The bedrooms were all comfortable and well appointed.
6. There were kayaks and canoes at our disposal. We were fortunate enough to see a couple of bald eagles on one of our excursions.
7. There is a HUGE deck that is well equipped with two tables and lots of chairs.
8. There are beautiful woods to be discovered by everyone. There are even paths carefully tended that run through the woods that make exploring that much more fun!!
It is hard to do justice to this property. It is meticulously and lovingly maintained. We chose this property based on the reviews and pictures and we were not disappointed. After reading the reviews online and in the guestbook at the house, we realize that we are just one of many who have had a very memorable vacation here. We hope to make it back more than once to this jewel.

A Must Stay
Beautiful property right on the water, beautiful home, all within 12 minutes of wherever you need to go. A "Must Stay" when you are in Antigonish or surrounding area. Truly home away from home with all the amenities. It's my #1 place to stay twice a year when I visit Antigonish. The owner (Tiiu) could not have been nicer, what a wonderful host.

We had a wonderful week in Antigonish! Tiu’s home is lovely. The location is beautiful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Nova Scotia! Tiu was very welcoming. Her home is in a beautiful spot. It is warm and relaxing. Lots of room to spend time with family and friend.s. We enjoyed the kayaks and canoe and just sitting on the decks. We also enjoyed exploring the local area. We were even lucky enough to see bald eagles fly right over the house!!

Nice quiet retreat!
We loved our family vacation at The Artists cottage. The house is very spacious and fully stocked, we had everything we needed when we were there. We especially loved using the canoe and kayaks provided. This house is the perfect distance from town, you still feel like you are away from the city but it’s only a short drive away. The host made herself easily available to us via email for any questions we had and was gracious and came to introduce herself. If we vacation in Nova Scotia again we would definitely stay here again.

A Wonderful Stay
This place was absolutely wonderful for a family visit and a graduation week. The property and views are wonderful, the surrounding area is just beautiful, the people of Antigonish are so welcoming, and the host is accommodating and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Hope to be back again some day.
