This waterfront 4 seasons home is designed to accommodate a large family, two families or two couples but is just as suited to welcome anyone who seeks an escape from the city. Our home is perfect for both a summer or winter gateway.

The home has two very large master bedrooms situated on opposite end of the cottage. It also has a third bedroom with bunk beds and a 4th smaller bedroom with a double bed.

The picture you see is of the entire home. It is one building and both sides of the home are connected with a hallway. You get the entire building/home to yourself.

-Bedroom #2:(situated next to Master bedroom #1): bunk beds

-Bedroom #3: A second large master suite is situated at the opposite end of the house above the garage and features a queen bed, bunk beds, a sofa bed, walk-in closet, and an 3-piece ensuite with a shower.

- Bedroom#4: The fourth bedroom is a small room located on the main level and features a double bed.

There is a laundry room for your convenience.

The kitchen is fully equipped and opens up to the living room with a wood burning fireplace. There is a large dining table to seat all guests.

The jewel of this property is the outdoor living space. The deck features a lounge area, a large dining table (seats 12), a dock, private beach and plenty of room for fun lawn games!

We are thrilled to offer our guests access to two brand new kayaks for them to explore the beauty of the Mira River. Use kayaks at your own risk. Life jackets must be worn while kayaking. Life jackets are provided but for your comfort and safety we recommend bringing your own.

We are pleased to also provide indoor and outdoor toys for the children and lawn games for adults.

Our home is also a great winter gateway! We have a large fire pit next to the deck perfect for outdoor winter fires. We supply board games, an air hockey table, a Nintendo, DVD, and two 50 inch TVs. Of course, you can also cozy up and relax by our indoor wood burning fire pit.

We are located a short drive away from downtown Sydney/ Port of Sydney, Two Rivers Wildlife Park, Mira Gut beach, Louisbourg Fortress and Lighthouse, Kennington Cove Beach, Ben Eoin gold course and Ski Resort, and many more attractions.

Black Line and Spoon Cottage is the perfect home base for all of your adventures and an experience in itself!

Amazing property!
This home is not only beautiful, but it is kept immaculate. We were so comfortable and happy here. The host, Catherine, answered any question that I had, fast to communicate back, and gave us a great list of info and any instructions we needed. I would stay here again and again if I were to visit this area again. Perfect stay, well, except that it wasn't long enough. Thank you so much for having us Catherine!
