Feel the warmth radiate from the all-wood construction, expertly insulated to keep you snug and content.

A Symphony of Nature: Nestled amidst the sprawling Spruce Trees, our campsite is a haven of natural beauty. As twilight descends, solar lamps illuminate the pathways, guiding your footsteps through this enchanting landscape. Embrace the serenade of the wind rustling through the trees and let the tranquility wash over you.

Discover Hidden Treasures: While parking may not be immediately adjacent to your pod, it's conveniently located nearby, ensuring effortless access. And there's more to explore just footsteps away! Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Salty Roses & The Periwinkle Café, nestled within the same property. Lose yourself in their delightful craft shop, showcasing the talents of local Maritime artists. Treat your taste buds to heavenly coffee, delectable baked goods, and mouthwatering dishes crafted with locally sourced ingredients. Indulge in the true essence of the region.

My son and I had an excellent stay at The Spruces. Very convenient location in Ingonish- close to many restaurants and attractions. We used it as a base to explore the east side of the Cabot Trail. The pod was super comfortable with all the amenities we needed nearby. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Great stay!

My husband and I really enjoyed our time! The cabin itself was cozy and well equipped with a heater, fan, broom, chairs and comfy beds. The property itself is super well located, but also felt quiet and peaceful. The staff was hugely helpful - we left a wallet behind and they reached out to help. We would love to be back soon!

Magical

We stayed for only one night, which was far too short, but our stay was magical. The Yellow Birch pod was a perfect place to rest our weary bones for the night. We were surprised at how roomy the pod was and how absolutely comfortable the beds were. A very quick walk to Salty Rose's capped off the Ingonish chapter in our Maritime Province vacation. We would absolutely stay here again!

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The Pod was great - clean and comfortable - so much potential. If it had a few chairs and a table for an outdoor spot as well as basic amenities - like towels. But - we were prepared to be glamping not camping. The washroom facilities were primitive. Better communication about the property would be helpful. We booked 2 nights but stayed only one because we were not prepared.
