Absolutely gorgeous area with multiple views. The grounds are pristine and impeccably maintained. The only downside was the extremely uncomfortable hide a bed. It made for a difficult night’s sleep. Yet even with that, I will definitely return.

I'm only disappointed that it took me so long to realize these chalets were so close to me! They're perfect for a weekend getaway, quiet, and secluded and have beautiful views from the mountain. Staff are super friendly and check-in was very easy. The cabins have a wood stove with ample free firewood provided. It comes with a stove, fridge and microwave. The drawers and cupboards are stocked with all the utencils you need for cooking and entertaining. We brought our two dogs (only $10 per pet, per night) and they loved it. There's several walking and hiking trails marked with signs along the driveway up to the cabins. We didn't pack accordingly for the hot tub, but it's open very late! There's a sweet outdoor pool as well. Great place to bring the family in the summertime; pre-book for sure! Johns Country Canteen is only a 15-minute drive from the cabins where we picked up snacks and drinks. There's an NSLC attached to the store which is very convenient. I love the atmosphere. It was definitely difficult to stay only one night. I highly suggest staying two nights minimum! Highly suggest checking these chalets out if you live in or near Nova Scotia, you won't be disappointed.

Showed up to be advised our booking was canceled, although it was still confirmed on my app, and I continue to get rate my checkin, and stay emails from Expedia showing it was not cancelled. Spoke to Expedia confirmed it was not cancelled. But the worse was the service at the front desk during it all, she handed me the email from Expedia stating cancelled, said deal with them and literally walked away. We were given a smaller chalet than we booked, not enough beds for all guests and it clearly wasn’t cleaned/prepped for guests. But there was no compassion or sympathy for the mix up, just attitude and poor customer service. Was my second stay there in a month as I enjoyed the first so much but the front desk service on Saturday will make it my last.
