📌 NOTE TO ALL HIPCAMPERS: If you message us through Hipcamp, please know we’re not online often — we’re usually outside tending the land! Rest assured: we will always make sure you have a place to spend the night, guaranteed — or your stay is free. Visit our Facebook page: Shannon Farmstead 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.

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!

Experience this gem of nature!  "The Old Canoe" is located in Cumberland Bay, New Brunswick, Canada (a small community centrally located between the major cities of Fredericton, Moncton, and Saint John). This shore-front property is located along the Cumberland Bay Stream, which flows through marsh wetlands and empties into Grand Lake (the largest fresh water lake in New Brunswick).  Don’t forget your camera!  There's lots to see in nature! We named our property "The Old Canoe", inspired by the old canoes we used while growing up. Although this is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, you don't HAVE to be one to appreciate these unique vacation rentals, which provide a unique semi-off-grid experience with nature. It's a perfect couples retreat, or single's escape. Fancy Outhouses are provided near your rental and near the Shore, and an Outdoor Heated Shower in the forest promises a refreshing experience. Guests enjoy FREE use of our shore, canoes, and kayaks (depending on weather conditions). SWIMMING IS NOT ADVISED, as it is somewhat muddy/marshy, and shallow ... but it's PERFECT for small watercraft and fishing! WHAT TO PACK:  Food and ice in a cooler, and your clothes!  You may also want to bring rubber boots or water shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellant. Rentals are stocked with just about everything else you'll need for a great stay, including propane BBQ and burner. CHECK OUR LISTINGS FOR DETAILS ON WHAT'S INCLUDED. To be candid, this IS NOT a party place!  We've lived on this 15-acre property for several years, and enjoy all it has to offer, so we decided to let others enjoy it too!  We strive to provide a safe and peaceful place for our guests (and us) to Relax, and Enjoy Nature!  Also, since cell phone service is so poor in this area, it's a great opportunity to Unplug !! If you're looking for a place to enjoy nature and solitude.  THIS IS IT! EXPERIENCE:  Unique accommodation, Campfires, Hammocks, Walking Paths, Books, Games, Sitting Areas, the Shore, Boats, Picnics, Fishing (bring your own gear) RELAX, Enjoy Nature, Unplug and Unwind !!
