Springfield Lake Retreat

The retreat is great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families, and their furry friends. We are situated on the SE side of the lake and the sunsets, across the lake, are beautiful. Enjoy the paddle boat or kayak - Lifejackets are available. Fishing requires a provincial licence. BBQ on your private deck. In the evening sit around a relaxing fire at the waters edge. We are only 20 minutes from the International Airport and 25 minutes to Downtown Halifax/Dartmouth. The retreat is fully furnished with comfortable beds and great views. On your private deck is a retractable awning that will shade you from the sun or rain. You will find resin wicker furniture and a propane BBQ on the deck also. You will have full access to the waterfront which includes a dock, swimming area, lawn furniture, fire pit and non-motorized watercraft. Watercraft are to be used at guests risk. The host book, which includes emergency phone numbers, also includes safe boating and kayak booklets. These should be thoroughly read and adhered to. We do have some approved life jackets but we recommend you also bring your own, if practical. We will always try to be available. If we are not home please call us. Our cell numbers can be found in the house manual. The lake is in HRM (Halifax Regional Municipality) making it close to the Airport, Downtown Halifax/Dartmouth, nature parks, an amusement park, walking trails, golf courses, restaurants, churches, movie theaters, shopping and much more but feels like you are in cottage country. We are one km from city buses. Taxis are a call away.
