About this property

A charming country home, nestled among fir trees. Close to the ocean.

This charming spot is a perfect place to put your feet up in front of the fire after a day of hiking or skiing. Nestled among tall fir trees on a quiet road, the Tudor style character home is both comfortable and stylish. The main living room is focused around a big hearth for gathering and there’s a separate lounge for games and tv.

Upstairs there is a large master bedroom with lots of space to retreat with a book, as well as two queen bedrooms- all with forest views.

Outside the kitchen doors there’s lots of deck space for outdoor dining or just to soak up a bit of sun - also a cozy patio fire pit with benches and marshmallow sticks.

We’re just a few minutes drive from beach and boat access at Kitty Coleman Provincial Park and the extensive forest trails in Seal Bay Nature Park.

Explore a little further to find the wide sandy beaches of Kye Bay or Goose Spit, or the many incredible river trails and swim spots like Nymph Falls Provincial Park.

The base at Mt Washington is easily accessible by back roads in about 15 minutes.

We’re happy to answer any questions you may have to make sure your stay is comfortable and fun.

We loved our stay at this gingerbread house nestled in the forest. There was plenty of space and the deck is huge. Little bunnies were foraging in the grass on property. Delightful!

Freya and Mark’s house is fantastic. The space both indoor and outdoor is gorgeous. The kitchen is really well equipped. The beds are comfortable, linens and towels are plentiful and high quality. The eclectic library collection was a joy to explore. The fireplace added even more to the coziness. Their generosity with tea, coffee, firewood, dishwasher detergent and an extension cord for our electric vehicle etc was very welcoming. The location is perfect for accessing the ocean, parks, hiking and snowshoeing areas. Freya and Mark were very easy to communicate with and we absolutely loved our stay. We hope to be back again!
