The current owners (a mother/daughter duo) have loved welcoming guests to their little piece of paradise since 2005 and reluctantly offer this wonderful property for sale. Since becoming Innkeepers, Julie (the daughter) has been married and given Andrea (the mother) a wonderful grandson (coincidentally Julie’s sister in Ottawa also contributed a grandson 8 days prior). Julie’s new family has taken her to other parts of Nova Scotia and Andrea needs to be closer to her grandchildren. We are excited to give someone else the amazing opportunity to live this lifestyle.
