#EndlessSummer Husband and sons swimming in the lake at my brothers cabin in Nova Scotia. Both sons favorite movie is Stand By Me...youngest son got out after messing in the reeds by the shore...only to find a leech on his belly...classic Stand By Me moment. Beautiful place...freshwater lake, perfect for swimming, perfect for relaxing, quite and serene.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,153 reviews)
Staff were good. Rooms were clean amd had all the facilities needed. Could use some black out type curtains as a lot of street light did come in. Sheets on bed did create a lot of static shocks. Location was excellent. Parking lots were small but did find a space without any trouble.
