Ninestone Retreat

3 sites · Tents90 acres · Princeport, NS

Discover 90 acres of secluded heaven nestled high above the Shubenacadie River. Wander along our 2 km of groomed trails or forge your own path through the enchanting woods. Witness the ebb and flow of the tide every 12 hours and marvel at the river rafters as they glide by. Befriend our two majestic horses and, during the seasonal apple harvest, indulge in picking ripe fruits straight from the trees. Delight in the spectacle of bald eagles gracefully soaring above the cliffside, or lose yourself in the mesmerizing expanse of stars overhead. For the adventurous spirits, set off on your bike or ATV to explore the rugged terrain. Just 15 minutes away lies the historical town of Maitland, waiting to be explored. This is an experience unlike any other in Nova Scotia — secluded, private, and simply stunning. With several different sites available, some equipped with wifi while others offer greater seclusion, riverfront access, or tranquil wooded areas, there's something to suit every preference. Surrounded on three sides by the river, immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of our secluded sanctuary.
