Modernized Waterfront Farmhouse with Wood Stove on 9 Acres of Land

This beautiful four-season farmhouse on 9 acres of land has been completely updated and modernized to comfortably house multiple families. In the winter, enjoy cozying up by the wood stove and the record collection after skiing at Wentworth Ski hill, only 25 minutes away. In the summer, enjoy exploring the brook, forest stands and waterfront, or simply sit and watch the ever-changing tides and shorebirds. Only minutes away you can explore beaches, waterfalls, and golf courses.

Great North Shore getaway
Really lovely house and view, great hosts. Pugwash is very charming. As someone who likes to cook, I particularly appreciated having cast iron pans, a sharp, high quality chef’s knife, etc. Often my complaint about these short term rentals is cheap kitchen equipment, but not here! Only downside, which is not specific to the property, is that the Pugwash area turns out to be very mosquito-ridden in late August, so we couldn’t really enjoy the back yard and had to travel a bit to find good walking environments. Nothing the hosts could do about that, just something to be aware of. Would be perfect in fall or if you just plan to go between the house and beach and back.

Spectacular week at Shell Cottage
My family had a spectacular week at Shell Cottage in August. Lots of space for gathering both indoors and out. We particularly loved the sunroom and its amazing view. The owners provided lots of good information on their web site, and were very responsive to our questions as well. Can't wait to go back!

Seaview Sanctuary
This roomy and clean farmhouse features a sunroom that is great for morning coffee or for afternoon book reading. Although the place is on the highway, no road or other house can been seen out back -- just fields, birds, and the rising and falling tides.

Memorable stay in Pugwash
The whole family & extended family thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The place was big enough to easily accommodate 10 people comfortably. The solarium was beautiful. The location provided easy access to fresh seafood, beaches, and sightseeing. The vast array of books for all ages and the presence of board games & puzzles was such a nice bonus and so appreciated by everyone. Cate was a wonderful and efficient host! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable week!

Perfect Getaway
This home was even more amazing than expected. The sunroom sealed the deal for us and when we walked in we knew we made the right call. It is a little slice of heaven and so good for all ages. Our toddler had the time of her life running laps around the main floor. It was hard to leave that view behind. We'll definitely be back!

Summer family get away
We had a lovely time at Shell cottage. The addition of the sunroom is amazing. Our days started slow in there with a cup of coffee and a good book. The days ended in the sunroom recapping the fun we had at the nearby beaches. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and we enjoyed cooking great family meals. The house was clean and spacious with lots of clean linens and towels for everyone. House is close to the road so you hear some road traffic. However the proximity to various beaches, stores, shops etc is fantastic! Shell cottage is definitely a gem and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.
