Girls getaway

4 nurses (some retired), getting away to relax. We loved the location. Hot tub was great. Had everything we needed. Stairs were slippery so a non slip product would be great. We had a great time

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Dempsey

Host profile image
We own and operate Hens & Honey Farm and Farmhouse on beautiful Cape Breton Island. We have a few different farm animals you never know what you might see depending on the season. We have free ranging chickens and Nigerian dwarf goats all year long as well as our most popular honey bees. We acquired the 200 year old homestead across the road from our farm and decided to share it with you all.
When you stay with us at the Farmhouse you are welcome to experience some of the things our farm has to offer. You'll receive complementary farm fresh eggs, our handcrafted all natural soap and even some of our amazing raw honey to enjoy. (The eggs and honey depend on the season).
