In my EXPERT opinion (meaning that I’ve stayed in In my EXPERT opinion (meaning that I’ve stayed in MANY AirBnbs 😂) this is a STUNNING property to check out in Lunenburg!

This is Unit 7 at @hookdhomes in Lunenburg just a quick 5 minute drive from town. Located right on the water it is pet friendly and has a hot tub too!! 

If you book a stay here or any of their 6 other units for dates DURING November you get 20% off your booking by using the code: NSExplorer-20 . When booking on AirBnB send the host Hay a DM, tell him the code and he’ll hook you up!!

Also head over to my Facebook page right now (link in bio) to enter a stay here too!! Good luck!!

This 78 year old church was converted into a luxur This 78 year old church was converted into a luxury Airbnb, but it still has a hint of haunted elegance. This is @sacredstays1948 

{AD}Located in South Alton just outside of Kentville in the Annapolis Valley this is the perfect AirBnB to enjoy during your fall explorations or all year round. Not only does it sleep six but its hot tub fits six as well!

There are 1.5 baths including a soaker tub, a full kitchen and dining area, there are three flat screen TVs, two cozy fireplaces, games to play, books to read and records to flip through. 

The Airbnb is only 12 minutes from Benjamin Bridge and other great vineyards, just 30 mins to the Salt Air Nordic spa and only minutes from Kentville and nearby farmers markets. Perfect for a staycation, girls getaway, family trip and more!

Would you stay here?

(No pets allowed.)

Anytime is a great time to enjoy Nova Scotian wine Anytime is a great time to enjoy Nova Scotian wine but there’s just something about the fall with the beautiful colors on the leaves, the slight chill in the air, the fresh produce over flowing at farm markets, and pumpkins everywhere that somehow just makes it better. 

Who wants to join me for a jaunt or two? Or perhaps a fall frolic through the vineyards?!?! 🍂🍷🍇
