We were immediately comfortable in this cottage! Loads of room and we had all we needed. All the details of what one needs in a rental place has been considered!
Stayed 3 nights with friends. The location was perfect and the host was outstanding. The house was spotless and all the little details were sorted for us. They even had a fully stocked spice rack in the kitchen. Which we loved, because my friends and I love to cook together. The house even has a path to the river with a little private beach. The host was always available to answer questions. Thank you for a lovely stay in your lovely home.

Chris, thank you much for your review. We love to host and we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay!!! We love repeat guests, come back again soon!!!
Such a relaxing place to stay. Lots of room, beautifully decorated, and everything you will ever need (and them some! I was pleasantly surprised to find an egg poacher!). Very quiet, private location. The king bed is so comfortable, we slept really well. Loved the screened in deck, the fire pit, the games, .... well everything! The hostess was wonderful and very helpful and accommodating. Could not ask for more!

Thanks so much Laura! It was a pleasure to host your family. Hope to see you again!!!
We (family of 4 + 1 puppy) stayed 6 days in the cottage of Angela. We felt at home right away. The cottage was extremely clean (best rental so far), the bedsheets and pillows were so comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the yard was perfect for fun walks.
Location was nice. We visited the national park and the beaches at Pointe Sapin, Miramichi and used several bicycle paths. We bought fresh seafood at Escuminac.
Everything was great and Angela was very responsive, respectful and so nice to interact with. Thanks for this wonderful vacation!
