About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
The Hilltop Cabin
About this space There are 3 wilderness cabins and a large cottage on the property, all nestled among a network of trails through the forest and down to the waterfront.
The cabin sleeps two people, with a personal fire pit (firewood included), propane bbq, kitchenette, and drinking water (although no running water).
The shared outdoor bathroom is a walk down the hill but has been hand crafted with lots of natural light, a composting toilet (i.e. non-flushing), hot water shower and two sinks. The space Enjoy the beauty of both the forest and the ocean on this 4 acre property off the Cabot Trail. The space is perfect for those who love nature and rustic vibes. Think glamping - but not luxury geodome glamping.
The whole property is essentially on a hill. The Hilltop cabin is at the top of the hill - closest to the road with parking available directly in front of the cabin. The shared washroom requires walking down a steep hill, and the waterfront is a few minutes further down. The paths are not suitable for people with mobility issues and potentially seniors.
There is a path down to a look off, where you can enjoy incredible views of the sunset overlooking the bay. Be prepared to get that heart rate up on the walk back to the cabin!
From the look-off there is a narrow rocky trail that brings you right down to the water with two kayaks. Guests can paddle at their own risk but it is only advisable when the water is calm which is usually early in the morning or before sunset. Guest access The property is shared with guests in the cabins and cottage. You have private access to your cabin. You share the outdoor bathroom with up to 4 guests from the other cabins. All guests (up to 10 other) have access to the trails, hammock area, and the waterfront. Other things to note The location is ideal for kickstarting your Cabot Trail journey!
