Great home base- mid Sept 2023

Awesome front porch to watch the world go by or the rain come in! Clean, clean, clean! Very nice “ layout”, open floor plan, updated bathroom between two bedrooms, comfy beds, great kitchen to cook some meals in, enough utensils, pots and dishes), and comfy sofa and chairs. We felt right at home for our 12 day stay. Great location for our explorations to Halifax, PEI, Cape Breton, and Digby. Close to all things Pictou. Walkable. Landlord was helpful and fully prepared to supply us with electricity in case of a power outage from the hurricane. Very comforting to know. Overall great place and great owners.

Wonderful location!

The house is across the street from the bay. It's really lovely. The home was fully equipped, and Ron was available for any questions that came up. We had a wonderful stay for the full week.

About the host

Hosted by Ron Arnold

A retired school principal and his teacher wife-and-former-sweetheart spent the last 8 years renovating this 1832 office building built by Samuel Cunard, the founder of Cunard Steamship Lines. Before that we worked in schools in three provinces, one territory and two countries.

Why they chose this property

One side of my family descended from Ship Hector settlers. We were looking for a retirement project in the Maritimes and this building needed some work, was located on the harbour and was empty. Kind of a no brainer!

What makes this property unique

Cunardhouse is a piece of classic Maritime architecture and turned out to be a piece of history as well. Looking onto the harbour on the second floor are three crooked windows that make it stand out in all the old photos of the waterfront. They present a unique 'face' and we think we know their story.
