ABOUT 1&ONLY

Riverside Accommodations An all-year-round cottage escape destination

OUR PLACE

The property sits on the bank of the Sable River, a river that feeds into the Atlantic Ocean’s tides. It is a haven to the tens of thousands of migrating Brant and local wildlife and is surrounded by a mixed forest of maple, birch, spruce, and pine trees. The property has been servicing Nova Scotia’s South Shore tourists since February 1993 under Sable River View Cottages. The first generation of the business owners were a lovely German couple, that had left every guest wanting to stay longer and come back. Since August 2019, the business has changed ownership. It is now operating under 1 & Only Riverside Accommodations and is managed by the GHD Hospitality Group Inc.

We are open and enjoyable in all four seasons. But of course, this is Nova Scotia, and we do have weather variations. Each season has its ups and downs and it’s best to know what to expect so you can plan accordingly.

In any season, you’ll have access to not only your own hot tub, but our firepits, dry sauna, and mini gym.

Winter

In winter, expect limited restaurant access and different outdoor activities; winter is often best for cooking your own favourite meal and planning intimate hot tub escapes.

Spring & Fall

Spring and fall are referred to as the “shoulder season” and you’ll usually find cool, clean temperatures, muddy ground, and many festivals - blossoms in the spring, harvest in the fall!

Summer

In summer, expect to find more mosquitos and a greater variety of options - we recommend heading out from 11am-4pm as adventure time in summer, and using our cottages as an evening relaxation haven. We recommend staying inside your screened-in patio or screened-in gazebo to enjoy the sunset and sunrise hours without any mother nature interruptions.
