Beautiful off grid cabin in the woods. Such a perfect spot to get away, with fire pit and running water! Very welcoming hosts. I would definitely book again if we have the chance! Thanks for a great stay Dawn and Terry!

Beautiful and cozy!

Absolutely loved our stay and our hosts were amazing. Definitely coming back next time we are in NS. Being tucked away and with the wood stove, could not ask for anything better.

Would recommend!

Had the best time at Dawn and Terry's off grid experience! This lovely, tucked away cabin is possibly the best value you can get. Close to many attractions and great places to eat. Can't wait to return and see future updates that will be added over time!
