Hill Top Retreat sits high on top a hill overlooking the majestic Atlantic ocean. Just minutes away from the UNESCO World Heritage town of Lunenburg.
Sit outside with a glass of wine under the pergola and watch the famous Bluenose II sail into port, or cozy up around the outdoor fire pit in the evening and roast marshmallows... or do some stargazing. If you feel adventurous you could walk or take one of the bicycles into town. Grab one of our 2 kayaks and go for a paddle.
Lunenburg is host to many festivals and street fairs, including the Nova Scotia Folk Art and Folk Harbour Festival. This property is only 4.3 kms to the town itself and the Lunenburg Golf Course. Lunenburg has many attractions, from the Bluenose II and the Atlantic Museum of Fisheries to several boat tours (deep sea fishing and whale watching) to ghost walks. There is so much to see! Don't forget the fantastic restaurants and coffee shops to dine in or take out.
HillTop is an hours drive away from Halifax. If you are attending a wedding at The Farm at South Cove, Hilltop is a close neighbour. We are roughly a 30 minute drive to Nordic Spa, 20 mins to Oak Island, 15 mins to the picturesque town of Mahone Bay, or minutes to the Ovens Sea Caves. Explore all of the nearby beaches. Walk Masons Beach just a 2 minute ride on your way into Lunenburg and look for sea glass, or spend an afternoon at nearby Hirtles Beach in Kingsburg and hike the popular Gaff Point trail. Rissors, Crescent and Carters beaches are definitely worth a mention.
Spend a couple hours at any of the great wineries or breweries around. Stay local and visit Gaspereau, Lunenburg or Petite Riviere Vineyards or make a day of it and travel to Luckett's, Grand Pre, Lightfoot, or Benjamin Bridge vineyards in the Annapolis Valley. Most of which have excellent restaurants (Luckett's worth a stop and get a photo taken at their famous phonebooth box). Salt Box Brewery is just in the nearby town of Mahone Bay (known for their famous 3 churches..good shopping). After you have sampled a few, make your way over to The Barn for a great cup of coffee.
If it is more relaxation you are looking for, why not book a day at the nearby Nordic Spa in Chester, or book a massage at the Spa@Ninety4 right in Lunenburg.
Hill Top Retreat is a 1750 square foot post and beam farmhouse that was originally built in 1864 just outside of Yarmouth County in the southern part of Nova Scotia. In 2000 it was disassembled and moved to its present location, high on top a hill (thus the name), on 8.5 acres of land. There are 2 other houses that share the hill. This house was reconstructed on a poured concrete slab with in floor radiant heat. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 living areas. It boasts all the rustic charm of an older home, but with modern amenities.
This property has deeded access to the ocean ...great for launching kayaks or small boats. This home also makes an excellent winters retreat with a large toboggan hill only a two minute walk away. Make sure to stop at The Boulangerie La Vendeenne bakery just off exit 11 on your way before you check in.
We are committed to making your stay a safe and enjoyable one. New in the spring of 2025 is a second heat pump (air conditioner) in the upstairs bedroom. The first one is on the main floor in the dining area.
*We do recommend guests take their shoes off at the door. Please feel free to bring indoor shoes however.

Summary: The hilltop retreat was perfect for us. We were looking for a place big enough and fully equipped to host a family gathering pre-Christmas. This was just right. The kitchen is fully equipped. The hosts have thought of everything. The house is cozy and beautiful. Great distance from town and beautiful views. We may make it an annual tradition.

Summary: What a charming farmhouse overlooking the sea! It’s so cozy and welcoming. Feels like a small farmhouse museum with so much to see in the decorating. It was immaculate! As far as hosts Chrissy and Marcel are our all time favorite. They went above and beyond. Lunenburg is quaint with the friendliest of residents. It was a trip we want to repeat.

Summary: This house is not only beautiful but it is also incredibly comfortable. The spacious layout and design is visually attractive. Attention to detail-unsurpassed. Well appointed with everything one would need, and then some! We were fortunate to meet both Chrissy and Marcel. We had a wonderful conversation regarding the history of the house. Fascinating to see pictures of the original framework that was then disassembled and moved to another location. The remodeling and vision created the most perfect retreat - complete with an amazing view. Peaceful and relaxing. We certainly would love to return. Thank you Chrissy and Marcel for your vision. Great memories.

Summary: This is a quiet, unique property up a quarter mile dirt road, best accessed in daylight. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is fully functional. We enjoyed our stay, but found the second floor hot, as the air conditioning unit onky seemed to serve the first floor.
