Farmstay holiday rentals in Nova Scotia

We had a wonderful stay at Ruth’s place in Margaree Valley—a beautiful, serene location just off the Cabot Trail and close to Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Easy drives to Egypt Falls, Cheticamp, and Ingonish. The house was well-equipped for our family of four, and the 3-season room was perfect for enjoying the outdoors while staying protected from bugs and weather. There’s a short walk to the river near the bridge. No cell service, but the Starlink WiFi worked great. Ruth was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Heads up: gas stations are sparse and many close early without self-serve—when we visited, the only self-serve in Cheticamp was out of gas. Mosquitos and black flies were in full force, but bug spray (provided!) helped. Our kids loved the games and puzzles inside during rainy moments. Highly recommend to families looking to unwind in nature—we’d happily stay here again!

We had a lovely stay at Melanie's cottage. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had absolutely everything that we needed. (bottle of wine was a nice touch) Melanie was very responsive to our questions and responded right away. The cottage is on a busy street but is relatively quiet when you are on the beautiful front deck. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area.

We had an amazing time at this unique guesthouse! The home had so much character and the hosts were great! Breathtaking views, and peaceful, quiet location. Awesome walking trail to take it all in!

Our group was extremely happy to find this gem for accommodations for the Wharf Rat Rally! We had 3 1/2 couples in our group and there was plenty of room for all of us and our gear. It is located realtively close to Digby and the ride to and from was absolutely wonderful! We were happy to find plenty of rooms, a fully stocked kitchen, 2 spacious bathrooms and a diningroom large enough to fit us all. The property and views were beautiful as well. It was a great place to relax after a long day of riding. Last but not least, our hosts were amazing! They made sure our stay was the best! Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Absolutely incredible spot. Peaceful and charming house with plenty of room for plenty of guests if needed. Amazing yard space and great views. Very private and peaceful area. Wonderful time. Highly recommend

What a beautiful place to stay! Andra had clear directions laid out for us, since the service is spotty on the way, and it was very easy for us to find! Private, quiet, and just an overall wonderful stay. Andra was quick to help us with anything we needed during our stay. Nice open concept and great for the kiddos. Would definitely stay again!

Picturesque accommodations that were spacious, very clean and totally relaxing. Although it was “in the woods”; it was easy to find and had ample parking. Warm temperatures and sunny skies allowed us to take full advantage of its location - so near to Baddeck and The Cabot Trail. The owner lives on the property and was able to respond very quickly to requests.

The cabin was exactly as described, very clean and the view was absolutely stunning! The bed was comfortable and clean which is always important when we travel. The instructions on how to get to the cabin were very clearly stated and it was easy to find. The road is abit rough going right into the area but we knew that before (only about 1km so not an issue). The location can’t be beat and we took full advantage of the chairs by the ocean and the picnic table for dinner. Great place to stay!

Shonna's place was compact, very efficient and comfortable. It is exactly as shown in the pictures. We really enjoyed our short stay there and would highly recommend it. Darlene and Terry

Absolutely amazing! A truly beautiful space in an even more beautiful location. Great hosts and a great experience overall, I would recommend this airbnb and happily book again should the opportunity arise!

Wonderful spot! The vintage camper was so cute and cozy! The farm is well thoughout and newly operating. Alexa is a wonderful, friendly host. She took the time to explain all the plantings and animal care on the farm. Alexa also took the time to share"must see" spots in the area as well as tips for the rest of our sightseeing travels. This is a special place with a lovely host. We will be back on our next trip to Nova Scotia. Highly recommend

We felt like we had a break from the world. It was peaceful, very cozy, charming, and comfortable. We slept like babies, even though it was cooler weather and we had to put wood in the stove for heat (something we enjoyed immensely). Kitchen was reasonably equipped, so we just cooked our own meals. If you’re ok with a few bugs and spiders here and there (nothing dangerous), you’ll love it. We plan to be back.

We loved staying at Clarke and Shelley’s! The space was very clean and had everything you need. The VIEW from this listing is unmatched and very peaceful - huge plus! Communication with our hosts was clear and responsive and it was nice to meet them in person too. 100% would book again when I’m back in town!

We had a fantastic stay. the river water was already warm and shallow for wading. Bring water shoes if you want to go in. there is also a magical playground in a pine forest designed by children. Jessica and Allan are very friendly and excellent hosts. a vase of flowers greeted us as we walked in. space had everything we needed. the large bed was super comfortable and there were fireflies at night!!!!

Mark & Rachel’s place is a gem! This is our 2nd trip to Sunnybank Jr and we are already trying to figure out our plans to stay again next year. Our only regret this year was the shorter stay - we should have made it for 3 nights (or more)! But we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights here. The upgrades since last year are a wonderful addition. Our family feels right at home here. The beds are cozy, there’s lots of seating in the kitchen, living room, and newly added sun room, it has everything we need to cook a nice family dinner. You can’t beat the views or the proximity to the ocean. A hop, skip and a jump down the stairs, you are on the ocean floor (or in the water, depending on the tide :)). Mark & Rachel are wonderful hosts. Thanks for another great stay!

Nancy Elizabeth's cottage was absolutely perfect for what I needed. I travelled solo and it was a cozy place to rest and relax. It was only minutes from Hopewell Rocks. I felt right at home. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well in the peaceful surroundings. I would totally recommend this cottage if one is visiting the Hopewell Cape area.

We absolutely loved our stay. The home was exactly as is pictured online, but the views were better in person. The house was clean and spacious and had everything a family could need to cook and be comfortable. The hosts were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. We hope to be able to stay again someday!

A spacious place with wide window views of the Minas Basin and Cobequid Bay, beyond the late spring growth of the owners’ vineyard. It was always quiet, with a beautiful country road providing quick access to Port Williams and just five minutes to Wolfville — ideal for jogging, running, or cycling. We would have liked to have stayed longer!

We had a lovely stay! Everyone felt right at home. Emily has everything you might need. Such a beautiful property. Would definitely stay again!

We loved our time at this airbnb with the family! it was a beautiful view and the home was so cozy 😍 Our family enjoyed our stay and it was extremely well stocked. we especially enjoyed the baby swing they had for our 6 week old. Hosts are great, we highly reccomend!

We had a great time at the Point House. The house gave us panoramic views of the cove and pond. Hot tub a plus. Emma was very generous, friendly and welcoming.

We stayed at Shobac Farm with our three-year-old toddler and dog, and it was unforgettable. The property perfectly balances modern luxury with cozy, down-to-earth warmth. It's a hidden gem tucked in a stunning, remote spot. The architecture is breathtaking, and the pool, sauna, hot tubs, beaches, fire pit, and sunken dining area make it even more special. Waking up to ocean views and falling asleep to the sound of waves was magical. The historic schoolhouse is fully equipped with everything you could need to feel at home yet completely relaxed. Nearby coffee shops and stores are welcoming and convenient. As amazing as everything was, nothing beat the two beautiful Highland cows—seeing them was a bucket list moment! Our toddler loved exploring, and we felt completely at ease with both a young child and a dog. We can’t wait to come back—every season, again and again. Thank you, Shobac Farm, for such incredible memories!

We had a great time enjoying this beautiful home and everything this island had to offer. We didn't see it all but what we did see was beautiful 😍 Sea food was fantastic 😋 👌

GORGEOUS home with nice big windows making everything bright and sunny. PRISTINE, everything was so clean and tidy. 4 big bedrooms and two bathrooms made for lots of space for our group. Perfect kitchen space/table to sit around for meals or to play board games … outside space was PERFECT, lots of seating, nice clean hot tub for us to enjoy. Couldn’t have been better. Had a wonderful time and made some great memories!
