What a unique place! Breakfast was fantastic, the decor is gorgeous, the little extras were very thoughtful and kind. We found it because we needed a room to sleep 3, which dramatically reduced the options for us, but what a gem we uncovered because of it! We had a great time playing trivia games and listening to your excellent vinyl collection in the lounge in the evening. Definitely would stay again if we’re ever back in town!

We booked the Best King Room which had a private sunroom with a kitchenette. Every detail was thought of when designing this room as well as the common areas of the house. Our short stay was perfect. We wouldn’t change a thing (but maybe to stay longer if we visit again).

The August House is a must stay!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the charming August House, and I can confidently say it was one of most enjoyable accommodation experiences I have ever had. This family/friend -run gem truly stands out for its warm hospitality, cozy atmosphere, and attention to detail. The rooms are beautifully decorated, blending modern comfort with a touch of rustic charm. Everything was impeccably clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the peaceful ambiance, which made it easy to unwind and relax after a long road trip. The staff are warm and incredibly friendly. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay. We were treated to a delicious variety of items including fresh coffee, yogurt, granola, bread from the local bakery and more.. it was also a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow guests and share interesting stories. The August House is a special spot located in the Annapolis Valley (Windsor, NS). A highly recommended stay!

Extremely clean, which I loved. The rooms were lovely and the fact that they were so clean made me feel very comfortable. We rented the suite (double rooms) to accommodate my two teenage children and it was perfect. Lots of room for everyone! I’ll recommend the August House to my friends and colleagues.

I nice quiet accommodation. Large spacious rooms. The breakfast looked amazing but we didn’t eat any. Service is only from 8:30-10 even on weekends. No staff on site for the most part… but they were a quick text away. We would definitely stay again.
