What to Expect When You Stay With Us

If you’re longing to disconnect from the insanity which has become our world, come visit our family-run farmstead. Switch off your devices and sink into nature’s balanced harmony — fresh air, quiet trails, and star-filled skies await.

Conveniently located in rural New Brunswick, our farmstead is about an hour’s drive from three major cities and the stunning Fundy Coast. Here, rolling hills of wildflowers open into forested trails perfect for a peaceful hike or a casual wander.

When the sun goes down, the star gazing is spectacular — with almost zero light pollution, our night skies rival those of the open prairies.

Cool off in the summer at Belyea’s Cove or Crafts Cove, just a 10-minute drive away — both ideal for swimming and boat launching. Albright Brook runs right through the property, offering hidden sit-spots to relax, meditate, or cast a line for trout in season.

Within five minutes you’ll find two waterfalls worth exploring, and just 15 minutes away, the fully stocked country store in Cambridge-Narrows has beer, wine, and spirits for your evening by the campfire. Hungry for more? Country-style restaurants serving hearty roadhouse meals are just 20 minutes from our gate.

Fairlight Farm & Forest Centre

Welcome to our 70 acre off grid farm! Our land features 40 acres of mixed hardwood forest with trails abutting thousands of acres of crown land and protected natural areas. We also have a pine plantation for pleasant easy walking and our farm and pastures up front.

We have lots of space for camping, and also a rustic bunkhouse with 4 bunkbeds and access to a full sized mattress. In the summer we typically have an outdoor kitchen with sink, coolers, and propane stove top. We can provide drinking water and access to a dry toilet for the bunkhouse and an outhouse building. 

Come and stay on our rural farm and enjoy the quiet and natural beauty of the area. Our little road is generally peaceful, but we do have access to the NB trails system if you are bringing bikes, 4-wheelers, or horses. 

The Knowlesville Art and Nature Centre is just 2km down the road. Come on the last Saturday of the month to join the pancake breakfast there! 

We are a working homestead with horses and a pony, dairy goats, chickens, and cattle. They are all friendly and love attention!

Guests are welcome to sleep in the yurt on a first come/first serve basis at no extra charge to make camping easy. The toilet and shower located in our home are open for you to use as needed. WIFI can be used on the porch or if you are parking an RV near the house. 

I work from home sewing Hanging HUGS custom luxury hammocks and can teach you how to sew your own, or offer what I have in stock. An expedition sea kayaker and expert rock climber, with more than 25 years experience giving clients a unique look at our province, it's my pleasure to introduce you to favourite spots.  We also own an off-grid camping area 45 minutes south close to Fundy Trail Provincial Park and have made a hiking trail to an epic location which I have been developing for rock climbing over 10 years. Pull a kayak to the river in ten minutes or try a loop trail around the property on a fat bike. You could easily fill a weekend here with outdoor activities and make memories you'll never forget.

Just around the corner from Grand Lake, our boat "Seas the Day" is perfectly positioned to host a cruise(added fee) in addition to using the sailboat as a cabin for the night. 

We have six sea kayaks to rent out... and the river is alive with birds, beavers and muskrats that are fun to observe.

Knotty Pines Island Getaway

Knotty Pines Island Getaway offers a unique camping experience that’s perfect for families, couples and singles to enjoy.  Located on Coburn Island, Harvey Lake, it is 2 km from where you can put your water craft on the water. This 1.5 acre property is about as secluded as you can get on this lake and can give the illusion of having the whole place to yourself. 

 Surrounded on all sides by water, you don’t have to worry about your pets running off or any predators lurking around.  There is a bald eagle living there but I’ve never seen it land on the island. The ground cover is made up of dead evergreen needles and twigs of various sizes - there is no grass - so bring appropriate footwear.  I wear sandals and get the occasional twig between the toes but not often enough to make me stop wearing them.  I also recommend water shoes when swimming, as there are some sharp rocks just near the shore where we normally swim (I’ll have a path made this summer to prevent this issue).  There are plenty of spaces to pitch tents and large trees for hammocks.  Once you are settled, you have the lake to swim in and explore, or an island to relax on.

A map with notable spots will be provided. 

There is a trail from one end of the island to the other making it easier to explore.  Up in the tallest tree you will see a bald eagle’s nest which has been occupied for no less then 20 years. If you are there in the spring you can hear the eagle's chicks.  Exploring the island you can expect to see an old loon’s nest, usually with the egg shells still present, and bones of various creatures that the eagle has eaten.  You can also expect to see frogs, turtles, squirrels, various birds, ducks and loons.  If you don’t happen to see a loon you will definitely hear them as the sun goes down.  You will also hear the train which goes by a few times throughout the day. 

Pets are welcome and can roam free, but please scoop their poop. 

*Recommend to bring:  bug spray, closed toe shoes, sunscreen, water shoes, floaties, fishing gear”

There are some videos posted here showing the island:

The Orchard - Bell Tent Glamping NB

Located only 25 minutes from Fredericton, NB, this sprawling old-growth apple orchard features 3 privately placed bell tents, a hot-tub, barbecues, and indoor lodge with kitchen, bathroom, games room, and library space.

Described by a past guest as "something out of a fairytale", the orchard is defined by towering old-growth apple trees, a meandering brook with multiple bridge crossings, meadows brimming with lupins and golden rod, the remnants of stone fences from when the land was farmed, patches of wild berries, and a growing network of trails connecting all these enchanting elements.

Perhaps even more beautiful after sunset, strings of fairy lights illuminate the paths to the tent sites and fireflies fill the void in between. An unofficial dark sky sanctuary, you will enjoy unparalleled views of the stars while your ears are treated to the distant calls of bullfrogs and the hoot of owls flying overhead.

We look forward to welcoming you to the fairytale orchard!
