10/10 Excellent

Easy to get to and friendly owners And cozy to sleep in
Jatin, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This spot is beautiful, clean, and just what you need for a camping experience. We stayed in the A-frame cabin, which was lovely! You may want to bring your own bedding and pillows (although they did provide linens, pillows, and blankets), for extra comfort. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the location is gorgeous! Thanks for a relaxing stay!
Suman, 1-night trip

Bathrooms were not the best but it worked for what was required.
Russ, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

We did not get the cottage we booked via Expedia. The owner explained the she didn’t get notice. She was really nice and gave us one obviously not ready for living yet: the door cannot lock and with holes, worms on the bed … The owner did provide sheet etc. that was really good since we didn’t know. Not sure who to blame? Expedia?
Wenming, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We arrived after a long day and were turned away due to the power being turned off. No one was at the office - we had to shout around for 20 mins before someone helped us and then we were told we couldn’t stay unless we payed cash.
Tristan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really enjoyed the Bear River area and Mill Yard was really convenient for visiting both Digby and Annapolis Royal.
2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

When we arrived for the check in we’ve been informed that the cabin had no running water nor toilet.Once in the cabin which is a hunting shack basically we notice many cracks in the walls and floor where we could see outside. There was no bedding except old blankets in very poor condition «  the kind you use to cover the floor when you paint « We checked the mattress to see for bed bugs and found some. After asking the owners to come and see which they both did. The man brushed em off saying it was only dust and asking us if we were really that picky. We asked to be reimbursed but they refused and told us it was whether what we had or to leave. We also have been downgraded because it wasn’t what we rented for our two days stay. Long story short. Very poor customer service and bad sanitary condition of the cabin, especially where it really matters. El: general cleanliness or good sanitary condition
Vanessa, 2-night trip

It is a nice and cozy place. You’ll love it if you want to be near to the nature.
