Private Coastal Waterfall Escape, for Couples- Tides, Sauna, 55' Ocean Falls

Canning, Nova Scotia, Canada

Escape your hustle & bustle for a romantic journey designed specifically for couples. The Hideaway at Baxters Harbour is a tranquil haven truly like no other, nestled in the heart of Baxters Harbour and its 55’ oceanfront waterfall. This enchanting retreat is tailor-made to rekindle your connection with both nature and your partner, promising a unique, unforgettable experience. Promising solitude within reach of dining and wineries, local hikes, and evenings of sunsets, tides, and starry nights.brbr“I didn’t know a place like this could exist”; “It’s so much better than the pictures”; and “It’s like a playground for grownups”, are just some of the statements shared by our guests. Both indoors and out, this property is bound to leave a lasting impression. brbrThe outdoor setting is one of a kind, perched over a harbour waterfall, complete with a glassed sauna overlooking it all. It’s not uncommon to see eagles soaring at eye level, or breaching sea creatures beyond the harbour entrance. The steady rhythms of the tides create an ever-changing snapshot of the coast, which some guests declare as their favourite part of living in the space. The outdoors features a patio, outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, fire pit and sauna with outdoor shower. Between the seabird calls, the rush of the waterfall, or the lapping of the waves, the background soundtrack only adds to the ambience. Both sunrise and sunset play out spectacularly, with perfectly dark skies, while some lucky guests get the northern lights directly on the horizon out front. brbrThe house has been transformed from the charming coastal lore of a bootlegger’s harbour home to a couples retreat designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings. The open-concept living space features floor-to-ceiling windows, providing a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoors. Priority was granted to a spa-like bathroom, with a glass shower for two. While the house is small, it has been opened up from 4 original rooms to one large living space, transforming into the Queen sized bedroom at night with a hideaway murphy bed. It works much like a studio apartment, with epic views.brbrThe site is not shared with other houses and guests will enjoy complete use of the property to themselves. Access to the shore is a few steps further into the harbour, at the public wharf access.brbrIt’s time to wow your favourite person with a romantic getaway!Guest AccessbrThis home, sauna, and property are for the full enjoyment of the guests, and guests alone. Any areas of the yard which are maintained (grass cut, etc.) are viable for guest use. Those areas which are not maintained designate areas that guests are not safe to enjoy. Mostly those are areas near the cliff edge, on the lower terrace, and the rear of the property.brAccess to the shore is a few steps further into the harbour, at the public wharf access.brbrbrThis residence is positioned with a picturesque view of Baxters Harbour, which occasionally draws tourists to its shores. While staying on the premises, guests should be mindful that they may be visible to passersby, and thus, all interactions and conduct should be discreet. To maintain privacy, it's advisable to keep curtains closed when necessary, and guests must wear appropriate clothing at all times while in the sauna.brbrWe make our home available to others when we're not occupying it. It's not primarily our vacation rental; instead, it holds a special significance to us. We designed and built it ourselves, and it is our forever home which we are temporarily offering out. We kindly ask that you treat it as you would your own.brbrOnly about a dozen houses are located in the harbour, and we cherish our connections within this community. Please represent our home as outstanding ambassadors.brbrInstructions on using the appliances, including the pizza oven and sauna, as well as guidelines for operating the house, will be provided to you. Please acquaint yourself with these instructions if you decide to utilize these features.brbrTo make use of the small footprint, the Queen bed offered is a Murphy bed, and the living area converts into a sleeping space at night. The large glass walls become covered with curtains to ensure privacy.brbrFibre internet is provided at the house, however there is no TV. If you need screen time, please remember to bring your own device.brbrThe harbour provides opportunities to bring kayaks and stand-up paddle boards, enjoy picnics on the ocean floor, hike along the shoreline to Black Hole Harbour, venture to the base of the waterfall, and capture numerous iconic photographic moments. The surrounding region is renowned for lobster, hiking, fishing, waterfalls, wineries, artistic culture, and a plethora of exceptional dining establishments.brbrGuests wishing to honour a special occasion or wedding proposal may reach out in advance for guidance on those preparations. We would love to help you coordinate such excitement.
