1 and Only Riverside Accommodations

These cottages are super cute. Hot tub was a big plus with the screen room. Decorated nicely with still a rustic feel. Fridge, stove, coffee pot, kettle, dishes, etc all included. I felt we were short silverware and the knives were dull. Bed seemed really small for some reason but it was a Queen. Inside the cottage was clean but they could clean off the steps of all the dead bugs and cob webs Around the fire pit had a few bits of food and the ants were swarming. Mosquitos seemed better this year than last. Still around but not carry you away Not much of a view from the sable cottage. If you want the lake view book one of the others down closer to the lake. If you have any mobility issues the shower is not accessible. It so very high up and hard to get into and out of. And toilet is low. We were okay but noting for anyone with mobility difficulties would not be able to manage. My suggestion would be to add a handle to assist with getting in and out. Wifi was meh. Full signal but hardly worked in the evenings.

We enjoyed our too short stay at 1 & Only Riverside. Everything exceeded our expectations, for example, they provided bug spray (Off) and tick repellent. Everything was clean and comfortable.

Area as we were looking for, quiet and isolated. The owner made every effort to provide comfortable cottage for visitors. The area close to a river so as expected, there are a lot of mosquitoes around, many tools provided to prevent and to deal with bug bites. No one working on site so you have to call admin if you need anything, they respond immediately. What I did not like, late check in and early check out, for a cottage in isolated area means you will loose a day from your stay. I found also the roles are so tough with no change of time of check in/out also no visitor or there is fine to pay

The cottage is nice and clean. The beds are comfy with nice linens. The hot tub in the screened in porch area was great, also each cottage has their own screened in gazebo with a picnic table inside. There are a lot of mosquitoes. They provide bug spray and after bite and have many anti bug traps set up around the property. Short walk to the rivers edge where it would be easy to launch one of the provided kayaks or the canoe stored there. Theres a large screened building for a group camp fire, and lots of firewood there for your fire pit in front of your cottage (there was firewood already at the fire pit to use). They also have bicycles to borrow. There are four cottages but we felt like the only ones there. I liked the little touches, slippers and bath robes , the firewood waiting , the a/c was going so the cottage was nice and cool when we arrived. Very pleasant.

The place is really peaceful & is a little piece of paradise. There so much to do! Kayaks, Canoe, Gym, Spa, Sauna, Parc, BBQ!!! It’s amazing for a getaway. Everything was perfect and we liked our stay.

It had been a long 2 years of covid, after finally being able to freely travel again without restrictions, we found 1 and only cottages online and managed to book a weekend away. We had never traveled to this part of NS before, so we thought why not. The cottages are beautiful and very well appointed.. the hot tub was a must, as that was on our list when looking for places to stay..and it did not disappoint. So relaxing and the kids loved it as much as we did. The property was laid out very nicely and offered a little bit of everything for everyone. We will definitely be back again (the summer time or early fall would be lovely) highly recommend this place. The south shore did not disappoint.

This property is clean, well maintain and very cozy. HOWEVER the mosquitoes around the property made it impossible to enjoy the outdoors amenities. We were 2 families with 2 young boys and one of the reason we booked was to play outside. We were unfortunately not able to play outside at all due to the number of mosquitoes. We never saw something like this before. If you’re looking for a quiet cottage, to unwind, this is the place for you.
