Positives:-Very large house, suitable for our family reunion-Great location for exploring the Highlands National Park and the Cabot Trail-High speed internet was not expected and was a nice surprise-first floor has AC, which was also a nice surprise during a hot weekNegatives:-Firepit and grill are listed in amenities, but no grill was available, and no outside fires allowed despite "low" fire risk at nearby National Park. -Outside spaces had not been mowed recently, and the path to the ocean was totally overgrown and not well marked. It took us 30-45 minutes of bushwacking through the woods to find the ocean cliffs. Definitely not a 10 minute walk as described-Significant deferred maintenance, with evidence of water damage in bathrooms and kitchen, shower peeling away from wall, and hole in kitchen floor covered with a board
A very unpleasant experience. So much so that I am taking the time explain. 1. Rooms were not vacuumed when we entered. We had to do that ourselves. 2. There were garbage in the bin.2. Leftover soft drinks in the kitchen.3. The automatic door lock stopped working after getting in. We had to figure out the problem by ourselves. When we did, they were expecting us to go to their office and bring batteries to replace! The reason was their staffs were busy with a buffet and music night which they were asking us to join again and again despite us showing no interest. 4. The a part of the glass door and in a bedroom and a part of the kitchen floor were broken both of ehich are safety hazards if you bring kids5. No communication amongst staff members. Different staffs bring up different information on the same matter.Overall- old house with nearly zero maintenance! Frustrating.
The house was perfect for us. Way out in the middle of nowhere, quiet and secluded. The house was clean and and lots of room for the kids to run around.
There is a wonderful trail that leads out to a cliff Lookout.
The house is owned by a nearby (12 km away) wilderness resort. The hot tub and wifi mentioned in the ad are located there, not at this house.
Watch out with leaving food around outside, we did spot a coyote near the house while we were outside having a bonfire.
Overall we had a good time and it was located in a perfect spot along the Cabot trail.
The farmhouse is conveniently located on the southern end of the western Cabot Trail and is a good base of operations from which a larger group can explore the east side of the park and surrounding areas. The farmhouse has plenty of room and all the basic needs for housekeeping as well as access to the facilities at Cabot Shores, a few km south on the Trail. The site is very private and has plenty of parking but note that two of the amenities (WiFi and hot tub) are only located at the resort, not at the farmhouse directly. We enjoyed our stay and meeting Paul at the resort.
