Ketch Harbour Cottage
The property is spacious and comfortable. It is rustic and interesting. The owner was thoughtful about provisions and necessities which was great considering it is rather remote. We were there during the horrific NS floods and the little house held her own during days of thunder storms! The power was out for eight hours but we found candles and a flashlight.We would book this unit again.
