Delin Canada

Adorable rustic cabins amongst the pine trees and private rocky beach where I spotted seals playing in the water. The owners are awesome, friendly and welcoming. Dutch pancakes were amazing!

Sherri United States of America

Fresh, clean and friendly - nice beach access would definitely recommend

Ann Canada

Such a fun overnight stay. Loved that the ocean was a short walk down the path on the property . Beautiful to sit by the ocean at moonlight. The cabins and bathrooms were great. The breakfast at the Dancing Moose was amazing !

Laurie Canada

Great location. Steps from the ocean. We spent some time wandering along the beach, and spotted two sea lions. The property has a beautiful wild flower area right by the ocean. It is beautiful.

Brenda Canada

Beautiful location with easily access to both beach and mountain. lovely style cottages.

Mona Canada

The breakfast was fantastic, they have amazing crapes!

Alexander Canada

Cool little cabins and the breakfast was delicious

Nevin Canada

Great spot along the Cabot Trail. Tom was a great host and the cabins were clean. We did not have camping gear so it was great that we could purchase packs with sheets, towels and comforter for a reasonable price. I liked that each cabin had its own designated bathroom in the comfort station steps away. This had shower, sink and toilet of your own. I stayed with my 2 kids and we really enjoyed the experience!
