Our Story

Zen Lakeside Getaway Nova Scotia

Hi, we are Lisa and Andy and we are originally from Ontario Canada. Soon after falling in love with each other, we fell in love with Nova Scotia. It was love at first site, in both cases.

Nova Scotia is like no other, it is so authentic and down to earth, with it's slower paced way of life, breathtaking coastlines, oceans, scenery and nature,  and the people are truly amazing!

With all that, and much more, it became our dream to move here and enjoy all that we fell in love with. Our dream has come true, and now we would love to share that with you. 

Come unwind at the lake and share in the charm that is,

Nova Scotia


Zen Lakeside Getaway Nova Scotia

Take a little time to get away and allow yourself to unwind and explore.

Zen Lakeside Getaway is more than just a place to rest your head, here you are engulfed in nature, beauty, serenity and endless opportunities.

Just picture relaxing on the dock or the beach, swimming in the lake, or going for a paddle on the water. Maybe it's simply just taking a walk through the woods or star gazing at night.

If you would like a little adventure too, take a short drive to Digby and check out The Bay of Fundy from one of the scenic hiking trails. While in historic Digby you can enjoy the local culture, restaurants, pubs, live music, and markets. You might be considering whale watching, if so you’re in luck because the Digby area is one of the best places in North America for that. 

If wine tasting whet's your fancy, perfect...because Nova Scotia’s renowned wine county is just around the corner. Venture a short trip over to Bear River or Annapolis Valley region and visit one of the many outstanding vineyards & wineries. Craft beer breweries...? got that too!

 Could it be that lighthouses are your thing, or National Parks, scenic drives along the coastline, no problem there, all that, and so much more right here for you to choose from.

Don't hesitate, book now to ensure you get your time at Zen Lakeside Getaway Nova Scotia.

 “Live for the moments you can’t put into words.”
