"We had a wonderful time at Frauke's and Mike's place in Mahone Bay. It is a perfect and tranquil oasis to either spend some time there or make nice trips to the surroundings. There are lots of things to do around, and we would have loved to spend more time there. ... The hosts are very lovely, and have lots of tips on things to do. ... This stay was definitely one of the highlights of our 3-week holiday in Canada." ~ Airbnb Review by Verena
