Blue Cottage Vacations
The Blue Cottage is one of five concrete cottages sculpted in the 1930’s by Charles Macdonald on Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy. It is owned by the Charles Macdonald Society and is operated as a fund-raiser for the charitable organization. The Blue Cottage is available only to members for unique holidays in a provincially recognized heritage property. Reserving the Blue Cottage for Summer 2023 will begin on February 15th.
To stay at the cottage, members (those who have renewed their membership status for 2022) are asked for $500 per week for an occupancy of 2 people. Each additional person is $50 per week (i.e., 3 people $550, 4 people $600). There is a $50 pet cleaning fee. Week-long stays begin June 19th and end September 25th.

The Blue Cottage has two bedrooms upstairs each with a double bed. Running water is gravity-fed from a spring in the woods. We recommend bottled water for drinking. The cottage is situated on a two-acre oceanfront lot at Huntington Point, two miles west of Halls Harbour, NS. Reception can be limited, and no wifi provided. It's like camping, but better.
