Beautifully appointed floating cottage. Couldn’t ask for lovelier or more peaceful surroundings. Perfect for a couple looking to kick back & relax.

A wonderful place to find peace and tranquility.

Had a great 4 night stay at Ketch cottage and hated to leave...very relaxing on the water and also got a boat ride down the LaHave river with Gordon Thursday evening. Read our books, toured around the area and jst had a relaxing time. Will be back in the future.

It is not often that you have reality and imagination match, but this perfect floating cottage meets and exceeds all expectations. Everything that you need is there, and the host goes above and beyond to make sure the extra touches are provided (from evening boat rides to help with streaming services)!! Could NOT have had a more perfect stay at Ketch Cottage :)

Ketch Cottage is an awesome place on the LaHave River, NS. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and the river having a morning coffee, or a glass of wine on the dock in the evening. Other things to do Kayak, float, swim or have a fire. We travel so we bring everything you would when renting. We were surprised that we could have left everything at home. Gordan the owner and host has made sure Ketch Cottage has everything you need and more both inside and outside. Gordon has covered every detail and then some. All you need are your cloths and groceries and enjoy! Gordon is an awesome host and goes out of his way to make sure you feel at home and welcome. If you need anything, just ask and he will take care of your request. We drove some 900 miles from Pennsylvania to spend a week at Ketch Cottage and are planning a return trip for next year....What an Awesome place. If you want a great place and location, Ketch Cottage, Pleasantville, Nova Scotia is a great place to go ! Vytautas & Karen Hughesville, Pennsylvania USA 14 to 21 July 2023

This place is amazing. We had everything we needed. The view is amazing and Gordon is a great host. I definitely recommend:)

Gordon, is a very responsive informative and knowledgeable person . The “floating cottage” had everything you required and very clean. We so enjoyed the evening kayak trips on the estuary. Sitting on the deck drinking coffee watching the sunset and mist rolling in. Thank you for a wonderful 7 days John & Lynn

If you're thinking about booking, go ahead and book!! This property was all that it said it was and much more. So clean, so peaceful, so private but still close to everything. Available activities and house amenities means we didn't have to pack extras. The host, Gordon, was amazing to deal with and extremely hospitable. We're thrilled that we found this gem!!

Beautiful except the weather

A very different experience and very enjoyable. The owner was helpful in every way. Super clean and well stocked with essentials.

A unique and charming cottage, floating riverside. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed the peacefully calm mornings paddling on the river. It was a wonderful getaway to enjoy summer.

The saying “Life is good” captures the moment you walk on the houseboat dock and take in the views of Ketch Cottage. Gordon thought of everything that a guest might need in order to just sit back and relax. It was clear that our satisfaction was his number one priority. The cottage is clean and tastefully decorated. It was a perfect size for the two of us. We will be back!

Perfect place to relax and unwind, enjoy the sun and views. Everything you need to enjoy the river located on site.

We loved our stay! The cottage has everything you could ever need and it looked exactly like the photos. The place was also spotlessly clean. It's the perfect spot to relax and watch the river go by - so peaceful. We also swam off the deck and the water was warm. The cottage is close to Bridgewater and also not far from some great local bakeries and beaches. Gordon is a wonderful host, and took us for a boat ride to Bridgewater and back one evening. Thank you for a terrific stay, Gordon. We hope to be back in future!

We absolutely loved Gordon’s property. It was perfectly described, had everything we needed, was in a beautiful location and was probably the cleanest property we have ever rented. We look forward to visiting again in the future. Definitely a place to spend a few days while visiting Nova Scotia!

Couldn’t have been better! Ketch Cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and had lots of lovely touches, including kayaks and paddleboards. Gordon was a perfect host, greated us on our arrival and was available if needed. We enjoyed the beautiful evening and morning views of the LeHave and visited some of what the area had to offer. From Sainte Famille Winery, LaHave Bakery, Artesian shops and a local market offering fresh vegetables, baked goods and pottery. We would definitely stay there again!

We really needed this relaxing escape. The atmosphere was so peaceful and the view from the cottage was stunning. We watched the sun rise in the morning and listened to the loons and gentle nature sounds at night. We swam off the deck and kayaked. Gordon was a fantastic host and took us on a river boat ride under the harvest moon. The cottage is spotless and quaint and has all the amenities you need. No detail is overlooked. We were so sad to leave and are already planning a longer return trip next year.

Everything about the stay was excellent. Especially when the weather cooperated and the waves were good. Love the boat motion it takes on. Cottage is very clean and bright. We were impressed with how well equipped it was.

Ketch cottage is everything you hope for; thoughtfully equipped, clean, quiet and private. It is 'different' enough to excite and offers plenty of gentle water based recreation. Booking was a breeze and communication 1st rate.

The place was magical. The setting is absolutely stunning! And Gord is the best host. Everything you need is provided. Kayaking and swimming on the river is amazing. The cottage is very tastefully decorated. Definitely returning!

The cottage was immaculate, and was very well appointed. The location was great, lots to see and do on the surrounding area.

This exquisite floating cottage allows guests to enjoy the serene waters of the Le Have river first hand. It's a peaceful and serene getaway that will restore the soul. We enjoyed our morning coffee with spectacular sunrises. Very much enjoyed the option to use the kayaks and SUPs that are provided as part of the package.

Looking forward to our stay next year.

This property is unique and in a gorgeous setting. Gordon was great to deal with and has a wonderful property with lots of unique touches. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic property. Gordon was a great host and the privacy and beauty of the property can't be over-stated. Highly recommend.

Staying Afloat/Ketch Cottage is one of the best rental properties we have ever stayed at. Everything you need is available, every little detail has been thought of! We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience and cannot wait to be able to visit again!

Beautiful, quaint accommodations. Everything anyone could want or need in a tiny package.

Very special place with great amenities and fabulous location. Contact with property manager very pleasant.

This was our second visit and it was just as good as the first. A great visit to the south shore and the cottage is delightful.

From check into check out, we enjoyed our stay .

A wonderful weekend getaway. The cottage was amazing, with everything you need at your fingertips. The property is spotless, and has many amenities to make your stay enjoyable. We enjoyed kayaking, a boat tour and sitting on the dock watching the sunsets. It was a truly relaxing weekend vacation. Gordon is an excellent host and provides his guests with superb service and attention to detail. You won't be disappointed. We will be planning a return visit.

The property is bright and clean. Very well appointed with all modern fixtures. Surprisingly large interior, wonderful use of space. The host provided everything we needed and very attentive to any questions we had and even came out in the torrential rain to fix an unforeseen problem.( The stairs are a little tricky for anyone with limited mobility but a minor issue. ) Beautiful property right in the water, we hope to come back next year!!
