This unique property is located on a small island connected by a causeway, situated near a fishing reserve and surrounded by excellent surfing, hiking trails, rock climbing, kayaking, and many beautiful beaches. It’s also a favourite spot for birdwatchers.
I’m located about 40 minutes from downtown Halifax, with convenient shopping just ten minutes away. Guests will need a car, as local bus transportation is not nearby.
Please note: it would be appreciated if guests could bring their own sleeping bags if possible.
Sharing my studio and home over the years has been an amazing experience, welcoming world travellers like myself. I’ve made wonderful connections, exchanged experiences, and shared many memorable meals with guests who enjoy a more communal holiday.

1 night at Porters Peak
My husband and I had a fantastic time at the chalet. Our first night in NV at Porter's land was a thrilling adventure in nature, with the delightful chorus of birds. I even had a refreshing dip in the lake, and we were up before sunrise to witness the stunning sight of the sun rising over the misty lake. It was an exhilarating experience in Porter's land, and we're already counting down the days until our next visit!

We spent three nights in the Eager Beaver cabin. The cabin was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed . The shower in the cabin was not hooked up yet, but the near by outdoor shower was a very unique experience which we enjoyed. We were surrounded by beautiful scenery and the sounds of nature. We Paddleboarded on the lake and my husband went for a refreshing swim, i was not as adventurous as him. My favorite thing about this place is the unobstructed view of the sky from the peak which was an amazing place to view the stars and look at the sky at night.
We had a relaxing stay and plan to return in the fall.
