Historic Knotting Hill-A Tranquil Coastal Gem in Mahone Bay

Welcome to Knotting Hill - where time slows and the nearby ocean beckons.

Imagine waking up to the gentle rustling of trees, the scent of salt in the air, and the distant call of seabirds. At Knotting Hill, nature wraps around you like a warm embrace. Nestled on nearly two acres of pure tranquility, this is where life moves at the perfect pace - slow enough to savour every moment, yet close enough to adventure when the ocean calls.

Step outside and breathe deeply. Wild roses bloom, apple trees sway in the breeze, the deer pause long enough to share the morning with you, and birdsong has you reaching for the binoculars. A short walk leads you to the water's edge, where the sea stretches before you, its waves whispering stories of sailors and the tides. Stroll a little further to Westhavers Beach, where the world feels wonderfully simple.

When you're ready to explore, Lunenburg - with its vibrant waterfront and the legendary Bluenose II, is just a short drive away. Feel the history beneath your feet, taste the salt in the air, and if adventure calls, set sail aboard a piece of maritime history.

Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a long overdue girls' weekend away, our home is designed to welcome you with open arms.

Our spacious Captain's Quarters is a sanctuary of comfort, featuring a sumptuous King size bed, plus a double futon - perfect for kids or extra guests. The second bedroom - the Lobster Loft, offers another lavish Queen bed and a unique lobster stained glass window that catches the sunlight in a dance of maritime charm. With both rooms, Knotting Hill comfortably sleeps up to six guests, ensuring everyone has a space to unwind.

We've thought of every little detail, from cell phone chargers in each bedroom to a fully stocked kitchen with all the cookware, spices and essentials you need to create delicious meals. Start your mornings at our dedicated coffee bar, where complimentary coffee and tea await to help you ease into the day. Gather around the dining room table, sharing laughter, stories and the simple joy of togetherness as you enjoy your home cooked meals.

Step outside onto the spacious deck, where nature surrounds you. Fire up the barbeque and enjoy a meal under the open sky, or toast marshmallows under a canopy of stars, the crackling fire warming you as you share stories of days gone by. If you are feeling adventurous, rent a a kayak for a paddle along the the sparkling shores of Blue Rocks, where the rhythm of the waves sets the perfect pace, or perhaps rent a bicycle and enjoy the beauty and nature of one of the main South Shore trails, not far from the house.  Stay home and challenge each other to a game of badminton on the lawn, or simply take in the tranquility of this place.

Knotting Hill isn't just a place to stay, it's a feeling you'll take home with you. The deep breath of fresh air, the peaceful moments by the fire, the sound of laughter echoing through the trees. It's a the kind of peace you didn't know you needed, but won't soon forget.
