The cabin is a parcel of an entire coastal ecosystem itself - 55 acres of beach and forest facing the Atlantic Ocean to explore. That being said, there is plenty of space to get lost in. Standing a few meters from the shore, secluded in the hollow of the little Chezzetcook inlet, the cabin is a nest to many birds, marine species and native plants. Birdwatchers, photographers and outdoors lovers will be served.

We have two stand up paddle + life jackets available for rental during your stay. We are not renting them by hour or by day, as the weather changes all the time in Nova Scotia. Instead, we’re offering a pretty good deal for the entire stay, regardless of its length, so you can use them whenever you want. You can easily add them to your reservation at check out. One SUP for 60$, two for 120$. Beginners and intermediates, we highly recommend doing SUP on the lake next to the cabin and not on the ocean. Wetsuits are recommended but not mandatory during summer.
