Cottage holiday rentals in Guysborough

We booked super last minute so we could stay longer in town to visit my grandparents - we were beyond pleased with our stay! We had asked the host if there was any stores near by as we weren’t familiar with the area just to grab the kids some hot dogs but nothing was close nor near by and the host actually came down with hot dogs, buns and ketchup for my kids! Such a sweet gesture!!! The cabin was adorable - above expectation! Will definitely book again!

Simona and Sorin's place is a real gem. The pictures don't do it justice. It's such a beautiful open space and was absolutely immaculately clean. The views were beautiful and the surroundings are so peaceful. The house is very well appointed with everything you would need and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here. The details in the house were very much appreciated, like really nice linens and a well stocked kitchen. The hot tub is also a bonus. We enjoyed sitting in there in the evening and soaking in all of the surroundings.

Kirk and Kelley were very welcoming and lovely. The cottage was easy to locate and had some stunning views of the mountains and the lake. Thank you for hosting us and would indeed return for another get away in the future.

Last Min visit after our first place we had booked had to cancel due to waether and no power !!!! Place was cozy, and the hot tub and sauna was a nice added touch :) It had e everything needed and was close to restaurants and the beach.

This by far was the most perfect getaway for my husband and I. The one thing we could not stop talking about is how this place was equipped with everything you could think of and I truly appreciated that. From things like condiments readily available in the fridge to toothpaste to even an air fryer, things you would normally have to bring yourself. Outside of that Jennifer and her husband were the most kindest, lovely and fun hosts. We had an impromptu boat ride with them and what a special time it was. My husband and I often do getaways to disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other and this place really elevated our getaway.

Overall a great stay at a lovely cottage. Kristy was extremely responsive to questions during our stay. We had an early spring visit so the road in was a little messy, but that is no fault of the hosts/cottage. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

The location of this property is a quick drive to all amenities and the beach. Place is beautiful and very clean. The host was very quick to respond when I needed to change our arrival date and very thoughtful in the touches around the place.

Amazing place, everything you need is there, the view is just amazing Matthew is a great host, visited him at the pub, good drinks and good food will be coming back for sure

We returned for a second visit and it was so great to be back! Views of the ocean/bay were magnificent. Cottage was cozy especially when wood stove was on. Relaxing time for sure! Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise!

We really enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed! Thanks Rochelle!

The location was exactly as described and pictured. It even had a trampoline - which wasn't listed but was a surprise hit with the children. There was a lovely welcome package when we arrived with the satellite radio playing softly. We felt immediately at home. The location is stunning. We went kayaking, fishing, hiking, and enjoyed evening fires. The beach was gorgeous and the house was well equipped. The kitchen literally had everything you might need. We did have a question regarding the water quality and testing (notes stated it was spring fed and I wanted to be sure the water was potable as there was bottled water provided in the fridge) but did not receive a reply from the host when we enquired. Lots of towels, bedding was nice, and dogs were welcomed. For an active family with young children it was a wonderful place to spend a fall weekend.

This is our third stay. We love it here!

Lisa and Jared’s place is amazing. We felt right at home. The space was beautiful inside and out and had all the amenities needed for a cottage stay. It was also setup perfectly for our two dogs who had a great vacation too, thanks to all the little touches (dog bed and toys, fenced yard, lots of sticks to chew). The view was breathtaking and the beach was wonderful to walk - lots of treasures to find. The house was also welcoming to our six year old with puzzles, games, and plastic plates/cups. We would recommend this stay to anyone and hope to get back again someday!

This cottage is a true PEI gem! The location was private and beautiful - that view from the porch! - and cottage had everything we needed for a family vacation. Close to stunning beaches (Panmure Island was our fav) and the charming town of Montague. Being able to use the new sea kayaks to explore the river/harbour was an added bonus! Steve and Lori were excellent hosts - very communicative and welcoming, they made the cottage feel like home away from home. We'd highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

The feeling of coming into this cozy cottage on a rainy, cold October afternoon was amazing - Jody had a crackling fire going in the wood stove and it was as if we were coming home. The dogs loved the wooded trails around the large, private property and the highlight was the adorable bridge crossing a wide brook. The area was peaceful and quiet and we highly recommend it.

Barbara’s cottage is pristine, relaxing, and beautiful. It is private, cozy, the perfect retreat. Barbara goes above and beyond with special touches around the cabin. I recommend the cottage to anyone looking for some peaceful tranquility!

This is a great place to stay. We were lucky to stay here for work last week and we’ve booked again for next week. We always stay in a nice place when we are away for work, but it’s rare you get a place that you can’t wait to go back to every night!!

Super laid back area, lots of room in the backyard if you were to travel with kids or pets! Super open concept and was super homey

What an amazing place! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sawyer's Retreat. The pictures don't do it justice. It's clean, cozy, beautiful, and very well-stocked. The whole property felt relaxing and peaceful. Cindy and Marvyn put in many thoughtful touches that made our stay comfortable. Marvyn also took us clam digging on the beach, which was a delightful surprise for the kids (and adults too). And then Cindy showed us how to cook the clams, which was a delicious addition to our lunch. Wish we had stayed longer. We'd recommend this place to anyone looking for some relaxing time on the island.

We loved the place. It was as exactly as described. The hosts were always proactive at communicating and very friendly.

A wonderful spot to relax and enjoy nature, with stunning views and close to some incredible beaches (I highly recommend the St. Peters Harbour Lighthouse). One small note—perhaps it's seasonal, but we noticed fishing boats in front of the property every weekday, with motors running (and occasionally music), which did interrupt the peaceful atmosphere. Aside from that, it’s a great place to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Loved everything about the cabin - may need an update for hot plate in kitchen but barbecue worked great. Attention to every detail including farmers matches, little flash lights, & rechargeable night light. We had 2 fabulous campfires, did stargazing & even had a full moon. We also enjoyed several Celtic Colours Festival events!

Super cozy place! Very responsive and helpful with recommendations and tips for things to do. Was everything I needed!

We booked with Theresa as overflow for my daughter’s wedding and my adult children were so happy for the calm space! Theresa was accommodating and very responsive! Great experience!
