Breathtaking Oceanfront Chateau

The chateau is absolutely stunning and even better than the pictures. Me and a group of 9 friends had an amazing time and there was more than enough space for all to enjoy. Very peaceful and picturesque. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and every detail throughout the house is so thoughtfully done.

What a lovely property. Just like staying in a European villa. The house is filled with antiques and has a style all its own

We recently visited Harbour Mist with our extended family. The house is quite pretty, constructed from stone and overlooking a beautiful bay. The house is thoughtfully designed with lovely rooms, reclaimed beams and antique floors. There is a fireplace on the lower part of the lawn that was a wonderful place to gather in the evenings. We did have a bit of time finding the house when we arrived- Google Maps was very confused about where it actually was located. The house is in Blanford, close to cute villages and good restaurants. If you are into hiking, there is an extensive trail system nearby. We adored Nova Scotia and found the area charming and full of history.

A group of 8 of us spent a week at this chateau. It is as stunning as it looks in the photos - beautifully appointed and on the water. Pros: beautiful space, easy to cook (large kitchen, bbq, lots of dishes), lots of cozy places to hang out (big dining room table, 4 fireplaces - 2 inside, 2 outside, games room with pool table, 2 large tvs, and more).Cons: it’s at least a 30-50 minute drive to get anywhere, the showers do not drain well so you end up standing in pooled water).In terms of the sleeping areas: there are 4 bedrooms with queen beds, 2 with en suite bathrooms (1 on main floor 1 on second floor), and in addition there is a full bathroom between the other two bathrooms on the second floor and a powder room (half bathroom) on the main floor. There is also a pull out couch on the third floor in the games room area but it is not close to a bathroom and offers no privacy. I think they would be better served to have the pull out couch(es) in the den on the main floor.

Amazing property, perfect stay! Highly recommend!

“Harbour Mist” is undoubtedly one of the best vacation rentals you could ever choose! While we visited during the off-season, and the weather wasn't always perfect, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. With many local attractions closed, we were encouraged to embrace the cozy atmosphere of our rental. Imagine this: cooking delightful dinners, snuggling up in front of the fireplace, diving into a captivating book, or tackling an intriguing puzzle—all while soaking in the breathtaking views of the Nova Scotia ocean! This unique experience allowed us to reconnect and create lasting memories. Don't miss out on the chance to escape to “Harbour Mist”—your perfect getaway awaits!

This House looks like it was plucked from an estate in the Scottish highlands. An absolutely beautiful stone building with large open living and dining area. It’s a perfect spot for a small family gathering or group of friends. The house is very well equipped with anything you’d need for a short or long stay. The location is conveniently located within an hours drive of numerous sites: Halifax, Chester, Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, Peggy’s Cove, etc.. Highly recommended!

We six friends spent a lovely several days at this house. We originally intended to visit every small town in easy driving distance. However this house and the view was so lovely and the sunsets so beautiful we spent more time relaxing and looking at the ocean.

Our family (four adult couples) totally enjoyed and appreciated this very unique property. Its location a few minutes south of Blandford is rewarded with extensive ocean frontage carved from the surrounding heath. The “chateau” is a labour of love, skillfully designed and built from stone and timber fitted out with a treasure of passionately curated antique and character finds. We have stayed in many rental properties and this is the only one that exceeded our expectations in all regards. On a practical note, it was spotless, very well kitted out and explained in the welcome book. Top recommendation for a home base while exploring the wonderful towns along the Nova Scota coast.

We travelled to Nova Scotia as a family and enjoyed a wonderful stay at Harbour Mist. Communication with the host was quick and clear. The property is stunning and we were treated to beautiful sunsets almost every night. We found the home clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Lots to explore within an hour driving from the property too, including Chester (our favourite), Lunenburg, and Peggy’s Cove.
