Cottage vacation rentals in Yarmouth

Beautiful location, private, pristine, peaceful. Lots of space, well set up for water activities, fireside chats, and relaxing the day away. The sauna is a wonderful addition. Well stocked with lots of towels and firewood, great layout with an open kitchen and comfortable living room.

We enjoyed our time at Castaway Ocean Lodge. The location is very peaceful and scenic. We wanted to escape from the city and relax while taking in the ocean views- the deck was a perfect place to hangout. We had already been to the area before, so we knew that most of our time would be spent at the cottage. It had everything we needed. Loads of board games, all cooking necessities and even some kayaks! We explored Crescent beach in Lockeport and drove down to Carter’s Beach for the day (well worth it). Thanks for having us!

awesome view of the lake, had a wicked time with family and friends enjoying the great outdoors and lakeside cottage lifestyle. the deck was basically right on the water which was very cool

I highly recommend this short-term rental property! The location is private and tranquil, set against stunning oceanfront and surrounded by lush forest. It’s conveniently situated near Lockport, Shelburne, and several beautiful beaches and parks, providing the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. The open-concept design, featuring a loft and a cozy wood-burning stove, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, the standout feature is undoubtedly the incredibly relaxing wood-fired hot tub, which is right off the deck and overlooks the ocean—an ideal spot to unplug and unwind. For the warmer months, kayaks and canoes are available for your enjoyment. There’s a big BBQ too! The hosts are very responsive and provide plenty of dry, split firewood for your convenience. This is the perfect place to completely relax and recharge. Thanks to the process of discovery, for the opportunity to experience such a wonderful getaway!

Very clean property and Beautiful views across the bay. Very quiet and restful.

Thank you so much for opening your camp to our family! it was a wonderful time. We hope to book again in the future!

It was a lovely little place. Had everything you would ever want.

This was the exact space I needed for a break with my dogs. Absolutely decadent to just open the door and relax while the dogs enjoyed huge fenced area. Lots of space to explore and play, but with few neighbours, so not much to bark at. I never saw another person on the shoreline, so the dogs were a minute from free running and sniffing and swimming. I was amazed how well equiped the house was. I can only think of one thing I wished for that I didnt find with enough poking around. I needed a space away from things and this was it, while also being a reasonable drive from a variety of stores, should I need them. The bed was comfortable, the internet was quick and our only set back was quickly resolved. My perfect week. Several friends seeing my FB pics have their sights on it for their own dog getaways and I hope to get back there with my husband. If you are bringing dogs I do suggest bringing along some rubber-backed mats to put around so they have islands of nonslip surfface.

We very much enjoyed our getaway at Tracey’s charming little cottage. Comfortable and clean with lovely eclectic decor, this spot was a cozy place to spend the week. The cottage is nestled in the trees for privacy with a nice outdoor deck looking out to the ocean and lighthouse. Tracey was a responsive, generous, and accommodating host. Our favourite activity was walking the beaches. Nearby Crows Neck Beach and the stunning beaches on Cape Sable Island are must-sees. Even though our weather wasn’t perfect, exploring the beaches was uplifting even on grey, drizzly days. Another enjoyable activity was driving through rural communities to see some wonderful historic homes. There were quite a few restaurants within 20-30 minutes. Our favourite for lunch was The Salt Banker in Clark’s Harbour. Lots of options around for fried seafood and burgers, as well as some bistro-type dining in Shelburne. We absolutely recommend Witsend Cottage for a peaceful, relaxing visit.

We felt like we had a break from the world. It was peaceful, very cozy, charming, and comfortable. We slept like babies, even though it was cooler weather and we had to put wood in the stove for heat (something we enjoyed immensely). Kitchen was reasonably equipped, so we just cooked our own meals. If you’re ok with a few bugs and spiders here and there (nothing dangerous), you’ll love it. We plan to be back.

The place was nicely decorated and peaceful, the fireplace was awesome, the full kitchen easy to use, the directions for the place and local recommendations was wonderful, and the host communicates promptly and with great effort to make sure to get the information needed. The washer and dryer are such a nice feature and work well! Control of the indoor temperature took some time to figure out for each floor and the outside fluctuating temperature didn't help, and you can hear each other's rooms at times, these are very minor things and can be dealt with. the local stores and restaurants do close by 8pm local time so factor that into your trip. The place overall was just what was needed for the weekend trip! the place is sweet and I would recommend others to stay there!

A lovely large cabin in a beautiful setting, perfect for our annual family get together. Even though it was the end of September, our 10 year old spent several hours each day swimming in the lake and using the many watercraft options (paddle boat, kayaks, paddle board, canoe, etc). Mornings were spent sitting at the end of the dock with a coffee in hand watching the sun rise, and evenings were spent sitting around the cozy firepit. This place is serenity at its finest, and we can't wait to book again.

I am not going to give away their secret but they went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. You will have to book to see how they look after you. Their home was exceptional roomy and extremely clean. Very well stocked for everything you need.

Beautiful spot nestled in the woods on a gorgeous lake. Plenty of outdoor activities and two large cabins for those rainy days. Can’t recommend enough if you are looking for a secluded get away.

Sarah was a great host. She promptly resolved an issue and was very responsive. The location was really beautiful.

My family had such a great time! They had so many games, and activities to do while we were there. It was definitely way more than we expected. They are very responsive/friendly and have such a gorgeous property. Well worth the stay. Also huge shout out to their neighbor Steve and his family for such a warm welcome and providing access to their dock/slide and floaties. We would love to go back and will definitely be in contact. Thank you for such a great Vacation Joshua Speight

Private, beautiful spot overlooking the ocean. Lots of room to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. Well equipped kitchen. Would happily return to this lovely retreat.

We had the most wonderful stay in this spacious and clean house . Beautiful views of the water watching the boats coming in and out . I would definitely stay again ! Thanks for the memories ❤️
