Halifax County House | Private Lakefront Escape | Swim, Sip Wine & Stargaze | 25 Mins to Halifax

1 Bedroom House in Halifax County, Brookside

Swim. Sip Wine. Stargaze. Repeat.
Escape to an exclusive, private lakefront retreat just 25 minutes from Halifax. Swim in glassy waters, sip cocktails on a sun-drenched dock, and stargaze by the fire. Inside, curated furnishings, a wood-burning fireplace, a luxurious Queen bed, and a chef-ready kitchen await. Fibre-optic Wi-Fi availableโ€”if you ever want it.
The space
Perched right on the water, our Lakehouse is pure magic โ€” especially in the early morning, when mist rolls across the glassy surface, wrapping the world in quiet. (Fresh lake breezes and full A/C keep the cabin cool and comfortable year-round.)
Inside, youโ€™ll find a cozy, thoughtfully designed retreat โ€” featuring Scandinavian-style interiors with clean lines, natural textures, and cozy details that invite you to relax and unwind. (We believe the best spaces are simple, beautiful, and deeply comfortable.)
Unplug with a stack of classic board games, curl up with a good book, or simply sink into the serene surroundings and watch the lake shimmer outside your window.
To reach the house, youโ€™ll descend natureโ€™s staircase โ€” a rustic set of steps winding down through the trees. (We recommend booking only if you're comfortable with a little adventure โ€” and your pet is too!)
Outside, the real magic begins:
๐Ÿšฃโ€โ™‚๏ธ Glide across the lake in the canoe (lifejackets provided).
๐ŸŽฃ Cast a line from the dock or grab a fishing rod from the boathouse.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Gather around the firepit as the stars spill across the night sky.
๐Ÿช‘ Lounge in deck chairs with a cocktail and the fresh scent of the woods in the air.
๐Ÿฅฉ Fire up the Traeger BBQ and grill a lakeside feast as the sun dips below the trees.
All this, just 15 minutes from the shops and restaurants at Bayerโ€™s Lake โ€” close enough for convenience yet tucked away in a world of your own.
Guest access
Dreamy Lakefront View Retreat House has a lot to offer โ€” and it's all designed for your comfort and relaxation.
Start your day with breathtaking views and luxurious touches, including plush robes and slippers for cozy mornings and quiet moments in our spa house. Take a refreshing dip in the lake for a natural cold plunge experience, or simply lounge on the deck and let the world slow down.
Feel like fishing? Head to the boathouse, where you'll find fishing rods ready to go โ€” just bring your bait and you're set.
In the winter months, we shovel the snow on cleaning days. If thereโ€™s fresh snowfall between visits, you'll find a snow shovel and pet-friendly salt available to keep everything easy and safe.
Please note there are 59 rustic stairs leading down to the secluded property. If you or your pet have mobility concerns, we recommend booking only if you're comfortable navigating nature's staircase.
We also have a maintenance team who help care for the property year-round, including yard work, grass cutting, garden care, and garbage management.
You may occasionally see our groundskeeper, Daniel, during your stay.
Heโ€™ll always do his best to keep visits quick and discreet to respect your privacy.
If you have any concerns about scheduled maintenance, feel free to reach out to us before booking โ€” we're happy to answer any questions.
Other things to note
The key will be left for you and you'll be able to check in whenever you please.
Please be advised that there will be an additional $75 animal cleaning fee if animal hair requires additional cleaning time or if there is an odor left. These cases are very unusual but it is our preference to mention this.
If you have additional people on the property, you will be charged $40 per person. We expect to know when additional people are brought onto the property.
If anything is damaged, you will be charged for that item in addition to cleaning time if the cottage is left in a state of array. We expect you to treat it as your home.
There is no smoking inside the cottage. If you do not respect this rule, you will be charged a $250 fee.
Weโ€™re here for you whenever you need us โ€” just a message away.
While weโ€™ll most likely be in Ontario during your stay, weโ€™re always available to help with anything you need to make your visit seamless, special, and stress-free.
Your journey is important to us, and we're happy to support you every step of the way.
P.S. Want to make your stay extra special?
Weโ€™re happy to arrange for champagne, wine, flowers, or curated amenities to be waiting for you at the cabin.
Just message us before your arrival โ€” small additional fees apply based on your selections.
P.P.S. We love welcoming guests back!
If you fall in love with the lake (and we think you will), ask us about our special returning guest discount. We'd be thrilled to host you again.
