The Writer's Retreat was a lovely spot to experience the wild beauty of the Riverport/ Upper Kingsburg area of Nova Scotia. The directions were patiently provided to drive to this house, which had a wonderful view of the water through the downward slope of the extensive lawn.Rabbits, deer, and even a badger were sighted while we were there! It was a comfortable house layout for 3 adults which provided 3 private bedrooms , and 2 bathrooms. A wood burning stove was an additional heating option, though we only used it a few times since the weather was Spring like through our stay in early June. The Rose Bay store was a convenient country store with a variety of foods to cook, as well as wine and cider to accompany them. There is also a restaurant on site to consider if the drive to Bridgewater,or Lunenberg for larger markets is not on the immediate schedule. We also enjoyed the views, beaches, and museums, just short drives away. There is a fun, brief ferry ride, while sitting comfortably in your own car as well. The house was clean and the pictures were accurate.A great choice to explore the region, just about an hour drive from Halifax!
