Favorite location on the south shore!
This is our second stay here and we loved it again! Corkums Island is so quiet and peaceful, while still being close to everything you'd need in Lunenburg. The cottage has everything you need. Bedrooms are big (and there are really 4, the extra one is small but very usable), it's dog friendly and the heat pump makes a huge difference. It's not an Instagram star or anything, but it feels lived in and cozy in a way that the black-metal Ikea-filled places can't match.

Quiet beauty
We stayed for 2 nights. It was a nice quiet place with beautiful views and privacy. It was close to Lunenburg so we visited that twice. There was a nice quiet private beach just footsteps from the cottage. My children enjoyed looked for treasures like shells and sea glass. We saw a few deer walking around. The host was very quick to respond to questions and gave good suggestions about places to see and do :). We enjoyed our stay on Corkums island.

Perfectly peaceful spot
This house in Apple Orchard Lane is spacious and well equipped. We saw the sun rise over the water each morning which was just magical and we enjoyed seeing lots of birds and deer in the garden. Lunenburg is a fantastic town to visit, so picturesque and accessible. Everyone we met was pleasant and polite and so very helpful. Great holiday all round. .

Tidy and conveniently located for all areas we visited near by. Beautiful property. The house was older and taken care of. There must have been lots of rain previous to our stay as the home felt very damp. No AC upstairs however fans were provided. We saw deer and the locals were very friendly. View was fantastic and it was close to a beach that we could walk to and enjoy with the kids.

Great private spot on the south shore
We had a great time on apple orchard lane. The location can't be beat, just minutes outside of town but on a very private road, and only a oen minute walk to a public beach. The cottage has some quirks but was great for us - it's rare to find a place that is both pet friendly and has a heat pump, so getting both was a real treat. Three good size bedrooms (and a 4th you can use in a pinch) and two bathrooms makes it great for a family, and the deck gets afternoon shade so it's great for family dinner. I should tank this review so none of you take it and we can get our reservation next year, but that doesn't seem fair to the owners.

Could have been a lot cleaner
To say I was disappointed would wrap it up. We have stayed in many rentals. My expectations were, an old, worn farm house that was clean with cooling throughout. Not the case in this house. The Lockbox is about 16 to 20 inches off the ground, on a post under a platform. It was awkward and difficult to open. There are no hand railings on the steps to the back door or the deck. Steps were weirdly constructed; the treads were narrow and the risers high. Half of the back deck had no railings and more odd stairs. We opened the house door and a warm, musty smell was obnoxious. We aired it out for hours. Later we started the heat pump which cools only the lower floor. A musty smell lingered for days. The bedrooms were hot. Beds are low and not all of them were comfortable. The linens & towels were clean. There was litter and dirt in some corners & closets. There were A LOT of earwigs in the lower kitchen cabinets, drawers and floor, toaster or dead in bowls and cups. The fridge and counter tops were clean. Many of the dishes glasses, pots, bowls and silverware had food stuck to them. We washed all items before we used them. I didn't expect spider webs with healthy looking spiders earning a good living eating other insects. Instructions on recycling were a little confusing with both typed and handwritten information. We did the best we could based on what we do in our part of the country. Would I stay here again? No.

Perfect location
It was a great few days at the cottage. So close to the ocean. A ridiculously short drive into Lunenburg. Made it out to Keji to kayak on the lake. It was quite hot during some of our stay, but a few minutes with the AC and fans going, and windows open at night, it was just fine for the 4 of us. Thanks!

Quiet and unique
This house is a unique property and it feels like stepping back in time. The kitchen has been beautifully renovated, yet most of the rest of the house feels much older and constructed not from any standard design. That means steep stairs, dark wood and a second bathroom on the main floor that looks as if we're once a porch. Quite comfortable stay. Host has done a great job of renovation and I hope will continue

The view was amazing. Loved sitting out on the deck but only got to do that a couple of times due to sight seeing and weather. The formal dining room provided an excellent facility for 6 adults to eat and enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. The house was very clean and adequately supplied with everything we needed.

Nice Older Property but needs some attention
This is an old house and needs some TLC. The kitchen is hard to use as the sink is on the opposite side of the room from everything else, probably since it was easier to locate it there. The ice/water maker appears to have been out of order for quite some time. There are some safety issues for smaller children with the lack of railings on the deck and a large drop off the sides. The only shower is on the ground floor and is tiny and the fixtures are not functioning well. Also the step into that same ground floor bathroom is an old outdoor threshold and very high. It is super easy to smash your foot or trip and fall. There are no fires allowed in the wood stove and the shrubs have not been cut so there is presently no view of the water from the deck. This is not a waterfront property but you do get some glimpses of the bay through the neighbors yards. On the upside it is a neat old house with lots of potential. The location is great for travelling to Lunenburg and lots of surrounding towns. The neighborhood is quiet.

Apple Orchard House is a hidden gem
Our stay at Apple Orchard House in Corkum’s Island, NS was fantastic! The house has character, new appliances/electronics and had pretty much everything needed for a comfortable stay for our family reunion of 6. The Island itself is beautiful and walkable. Sunrises/sunsets over the harbour were glorious and the beach a very short walk away. Deer and Fawns are abundant around the Island, quietly feeding on flora. The Island is very walkable/cycling friendly. Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Chester are close by. A few suggestions for improvement: the floor rugs surrounding the kitchen island proved to be a tripping hazard during our stay and would best be tacked down or replaced. The oversized deck was great for hanging out day and night; however, we found the step depth to be potentially dangerous on 2 sides of the deck (need 2 steps down instead of 1). Overall though, we very much recommend Apple Orchard House for a comfortable stay.
