We have a half acre lake front lot with privacy. We have access directly to the lake from the lot and a laneway for a small boat as well. There is fishing, paddle boarding, boating, hiking and walking on these quiet roads in the wilderness. The Bay of Fundy is down the road maybe 2-5 min. If you want peace and quiet then here it is, a nice fresh lot on a lake out in the middle of no where. We DO NOT have any any of the equipment (kayaks, paddle boards and fishing equip) there you must bring your own. There is no washroom or electricity yet, so please be aware of this.

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.

I LOVED my stay at cabin #3. Tasha and Cory’s attention to detail is absolutely astounding. It really felt like a labour of love.

This site can accommodate all RV’s including motor homes. Drive directly to the site and enjoy your very own private vacation spot 🌸

A truly hidden gem! We were received well and the warmth from Paul and Sue was perfect for our couple's roadtrip. We will definitely return there if we ever go back to New-Brunswick. The view was stunning in the evening and in the morning. Only the sound of nature can be enjoy to make you relax after a long day of driving. A must stay if you are in the area!

Private spot and right on the lake! Enjoyed our two day stay. Our 20ft R-pod fit nicely on the lot. Google maps did not show us the alternate route to avoid driving up the steep mountain.

We had a wonderful time tenting here! The owners are very friendly and easy going. The property is gorgeous and my twins had a blast playing in the brook all day. It was our first time tenting as a family and I can confidently say we couldn’t have picked a better spot! If you’re thinking about booking, you won’t be disappointed! 10/10 would recommend and hope to come back again sometime in the near future! Thanks so much Paul and Sue!

If you love true camping, disconnecting and connecting with nature and/or if you are interested in homesteading this is the place for you! We loved our spot, which was very private, the place is absolutely beautiful with lots of trails and the owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. And the best part all the animals! We will definitely be back, thanks for letting us in on a glimpse of your homestead and letting us pick your brains!

Not much has changed here since the 1800's. Feel the homesteading experience.

Beautiful little lake and a very peaceful place and community around the lake. Pickle's Place was perfect for our 25ft motorhome for an overnight boondocking trip. As stated in other reviews - bring everything you need for your stay.
