Fabulous
The view from Three Sheeps is simply stunning! The cottage provided us with ample room for six adults and the owner was fantastic to deal with. There seem to be many updates that have been or are happening. Only issue that we had was water pressure but I am most certain that is just the area and was not unbearable. The deck out outside surroundings are absolutely stunning! Was such a great stay!!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Bishop

Host profile image
Andrew and I have lived in Nova Scotia our entire lives we are a young professional family with a love for sailing and the outdoors. We have sailed on the South Shore for over 10 yrs and had been keeping an eye open for the perfect family and sailboat friendly property not too far from our home in the Annapolis Valley. We purchased the property in the summer of 2015 and started welcoming guests in 2016. The rest is history.

Why they chose this property

This property is very close to the main highway yet its in a private wooded area directly on the oceanfront. We liked that were are close to everything we need yet we are 'away from it all'

What makes this property unique

Three Sheeps to the Wind Cottage Rental got it's name because its located beside a private hobby sheep farm which our children enjoy. This Nova Scotia Cottage Rental is unique because its in a protected basin so we can canoe and swim right in front of the property. There is a restaurant and drugstore that you can canoe to, how cool is that?
