Mersey River Chalets a nature retreat

Mersey River Chalets a nature retreat

10/10 Excellent
"Exceeded our expectations. Minutes from Keji. Stayed in the lodge but felt like a cabin. Clean room with comfy bed, grills out the back patio doors, microwave and coffee maker. We could hear the family next door loud & clear (thin walls) other than that it was incredible. The boardwalk on property along the river was beautiful. Saw a river otter (twice) and used their kayaks for an evening paddle which was wonderful. Stocked up on groceries on Liverpool. Make sure you have a full tank of gas on your way!"

Lake Front Paradise on Ponhook in the Heart of Nova Scotia

Lake Front Paradise on Ponhook in the Heart of Nova Scotia

10/10 Excellent
"Paradise on Ponhook was a beautiful, clean place for excellent family time with our family of eight. Everyone had enough space to stretch out and be alone when they needed, and plenty of space to all be together. The house is a few steps from the lake, and we used the paddle boards and the kayaks almost every day. Scott, our host, communicated well, and left a comprehensive house booklet. The kitchen was well stocked with no separation from the living area. We even saw a parade of chickens in the yard! It is a magical place!"
