5. The Dordéan Suites of Chester

2 sites · Lodging · Windsor Road, NS

Our suites are minimally designed, but boast maximum comfort. We have curated tiny home suites nestled in the forest to allow you to escape from the bustle of the city and immerse yourself in the beauty of Nova Scotia, without having to worry about the details. Our kitchenettes are equipped with everything you may need for cooking in, including a coffee and tea nook, of course! Our Story The inspiration behind the name - Dordéan - is Mackenzie Joy, daughter of owners Shawn and Renena Joy. "Dordéan" is Irish for hummingbird, a nod to the family's Irish Newfoundland roots. Hummingbirds are mighty, little birds, known for their cheerful disposition and zest for life. They symbolize beauty, playfulness, grace and resilience. Much like hummingbirds, Mackenzie is small but mighty; a powerhouse in her own right. She is one of the happiest, kindest and most generous people you will ever meet. Despite her many challenges, she faces each day with strength, determination, persistence and resilience. As the saying goes "Good things come in small packages," Hummingbirds are tiny birds that pack a punch well beyond their size, serving as a reminder that one person can make a big impact on the lives of others and their community.

1 night at Sand Point RV Camping and Tenting

Uppon arrival, Matthew and Francine have welcomed us with warmth and respect. They offered us to choose from the avalaible sites to set our camp. ⛺️ We had a majestic view and lots of space to move and play with the dog. We went paddling from the shores downhill of the site. The water was surprisingly warm ! We had access to hot water for showers, potable water, electricity, firewood+firepits and toilets. We had a lot of privacy on both nights we spent there and would recommand to anybody who wants to enjoy a nice view while camping.
