About this property

Apple Orchard Cottage Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada

  • Tucked into a peaceful island setting just outside historic Lunenburg, Apple Orchard Cottage is a warm and welcoming coastal getaway with sweeping ocean views. Watch the famous Bluenose II as it sails through the harbour, and enjoy the natural beauty of Corkums Island, connected by causeway and only minutes from town.
    This charming renovated 1900s cottage offers a comfortable and relaxed stay, with three queen bedrooms upstairs, a shared bathroom, and a cozy main floor with kitchen, dining room, living room, and full bathroom. Step out onto the spacious deck to enjoy the sea air, or wander down to the private beach just a minute from the house. Surrounded by an acre of land, quiet neighbours, and the occasional deer on the lawn, this is a true hidden gem for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy Nova Scotia’s coast.

    Nov 1 to April 30 WINTER LONGE TERM RENTALS Power or wood for a wood stove is not included in the price per 30-day rental.

This property was close to Lunenburg but felt very remote. We found the main floor shower very small for a taller person. Also the toilets took a long time to refill so we found ourselves having to fill it manually to make it ready for use between people sharing the bathroom. We were not a good fit for the old world charm this property provides. But I think if you were looking for quiet setting you will love this place.

We loved the location. Driving onto Corkums Island is a special and unique experience. There was a lot of space for our family, and we enjoyed the deck. You can walk to a quiet, small beach. It is an older property, so be warned that the stairs are quite steep. The upstairs bedrooms were VERY warm. Also, there is a large dining room table, but there are only 4 chairs (2 folding chairs are provided).

The home was clean but everything from the window coverings to pots and pans were of thrift store quality. The kitchen is very badly in need of an update. The cabinets are old and in poor condition. None of the Venetian blinds opened or closed properly. The teflon fry pans were scratched (very unhealthy) and preparing a meal with pots provided was difficult. There is a lovely outdoor patio but without an umbrella it was too hot to sit on in the morning. None of the outdoor furniture was wiped down prior to our arrival and the furniture cushions are dirty and need to be replaced. The home is spacious and provides plenty of room to spread out but I think more could be done to enhance your guests stay.

Older property with character. A bit quirky. Comfy beds and nice sheets etc. Good parking. Very clean. Modern appliances. Couldn't see how to access the 'beach'. A bit of TLC ..Fly screens, windows, doors could do with repair. Toilet flush flap not closing every time

Perfectly peaceful spot

This house in Apple Orchard Lane is spacious and well equipped. We saw the sun rise over the water each morning which was just magical and we enjoyed seeing lots of birds and deer in the garden. Lunenburg is a fantastic town to visit, so picturesque and accessible. Everyone we met was pleasant and polite and so very helpful. Great holiday all round. .

Favorite location on the south shore!

This is our second stay here and we loved it again! Corkums Island is so quiet and peaceful, while still being close to everything you'd need in Lunenburg. The cottage has everything you need. Bedrooms are big (and there are really 4, the extra one is small but very usable), it's dog friendly and the heat pump makes a huge difference. It's not an Instagram star or anything, but it feels lived in and cozy in a way that the black-metal Ikea-filled places can't match.

Quiet beauty

We stayed for 2 nights. It was a nice quiet place with beautiful views and privacy. It was close to Lunenburg so we visited that twice. There was a nice quiet private beach just footsteps from the cottage. My children enjoyed looked for treasures like shells and sea glass. We saw a few deer walking around. The host was very quick to respond to questions and gave good suggestions about places to see and do :). We enjoyed our stay on Corkums island.

Tidy and conveniently located for all areas we visited near by. Beautiful property. The house was older and taken care of. There must have been lots of rain previous to our stay as the home felt very damp. No AC upstairs however fans were provided. We saw deer and the locals were very friendly. View was fantastic and it was close to a beach that we could walk to and enjoy with the kids.

Great private spot on the south shore

We had a great time on apple orchard lane. The location can't be beat, just minutes outside of town but on a very private road, and only a oen minute walk to a public beach. The cottage has some quirks but was great for us - it's rare to find a place that is both pet friendly and has a heat pump, so getting both was a real treat. Three good size bedrooms (and a 4th you can use in a pinch) and two bathrooms makes it great for a family, and the deck gets afternoon shade so it's great for family dinner. I should tank this review so none of you take it and we can get our reservation next year, but that doesn't seem fair to the owners.

Wonderful property and amazing location. Rooms were a great size and comfortable. I wish I had the main bathroom at home! Toilets were tall which I love and have at home but for littles may be worth bringing a folding stool. We struggled with the AC but I’m sure they would’ve helped if we reached out as they were so helpful and responsive. Overall we realized we enjoyed the ocean breeze even more though and even on the hottest day (38 Celsius with humidex), the breeze was incredible and even sometimes cool enough for the youngest to want a blanket! Loved the location on the island, wish we went down to the beach more but had a busy couple days. Really close to Lunenburg and an independent. Some challenges with restaurants and pharmacies closing earlier than we are used to but we planned ahead so were aware and fine with it. Just worth being aware if anyone is visiting from a larger city and not an advance planner. We would absolutely go back with the only difference being to stay for longer!
