My husband and I took our grandchildren down for the weekend while we were visiting NS and we had an amazing time. The weather wasn’t great but we made s’mores in the wood stove and played board games that were provided and we took a few walks on the boardwalk. We will definitely be going back.

Inside the cabin was well maintained. Outside grounds need more attention. I expected to have spectacular outside setting… even some part was under construction with some noise as a result. The

Room was clean. Everything was there for a 2 night stay with our 2 small dogs. Although we didn't use the wood stove, plenty warm in cottage.

Nice place to stay near a river and lake. Enjoyed using the free canoes and the PFDs were top notch.

Refreshingly simple and immaculate. Felt very Scandinavian. Beautiful boardwalk along the river. Bring food! Small microwave, frig, kettle and keurig (with pods :) in the room.I stayed in April and the entrance road had lots of potholes- probably will be filled soon but be patient and just take it slow.
