4 Bedroom House in Chester

Old Salt is situated on 7 scenic acres, with over 320 feet of oceanfront. Our home was built over 160 years ago by a sea captain who wanted his wife and ten children to be able to watch his ship sail in to Blandford harbour.  
 
Located on a very quiet road just off the Lighthouse Route, Old Salt is the perfect location for exploring the very scenic South Shore. Besides the stunning natural beauty of this area there are many exciting activities to experience and savour. The area is known for its hiking trails, kayaking adventures, wildlife both in the ocean and on land, golf courses, numerous beaches, restaurants from cafes to fine dining and its local craft shops featuring Nova Scotia artists. 
 
Everything you need to enjoy your stay on the south shore of Nova Scotia can be found here - linens, quilts, beach towels, a full kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and a well stocked binder listing local attractions and maps. 
 
Spend a day at Old Salt: hike down to the water at low tide to the small sand beach or walk on the rocks and look for shells. Or sit on the deck and watch the ships sail by as the deer and other wildlife come for a drink from the pond. Use the binoculars or the telescope to get a close up of the sailboats, fishing boats and the Tancook Island Ferry going by. Or walk down the road to see the 100 year old cemetary then take a look at some local quilts, paintings and wood crafts for sale. In the house you will enjoy the use of our large collection of games, books and DVD's.  
 
Or take a day trip: Bayswater beach is less than 5 minutes away, the Chester ferry (where you can take a trip out to Big Tancook Island) and the yacht club are only 20 minutes away, Hubbards is 20 minutes away and Peggy's Cove is a very scenic 50 minute drive. Lunenburg, Blue Rocks and Mahone Bay are under an hour west of Old Salt and Halifax is under an hour east. Halls Harbour with it's incredible 40 foot tide changes is only 1.5 hours drive from our front door and Kejimkujik (known as Keji to the locals), the only inland national park of Canada in the Maritimes, is about an hour and forty minutes drive. 
 
Included in your rental is contact information for a local person who can help you find activities that will make your stay more enjoyable. Before you arrive we will also provide a list of suggested day trips to help get your trip planning underway. Ask us about arranging a fishing trip for your party.
