We just got back from my stay and we
are already planning to book again for the winter— that’s how great this place is! It is a serene, beautiful property and the cabin is so cozy and well built. Helmut is a wonderful host. He cares for his land and the environment extremely well.

We had a great two night stay at the Owl's Nest cabin. Helmut answered all of our questions before we left and transported us to the cabin to show us around the cabin and property. Cabin is secluded and off-grid. Our dog was not a fan of the steep stairs to the loft. Don't forget to bring your orange vest and remember to check for ticks. Highly recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway.

We absolutely loved our stay at Owl’s Nest! Helmut treated you like family, sharing his experiences tending the forest and the cabin that he built. If you’re looking for a place to get off-grid, connect with nature, and be able to explore the many trails just outside your door, this is the place! We especially appreciated how the land was private, so that we could let our pup explore without worrying about running into any other dog owners. It was a great to share this cabin and we will certainly be coming back!

We surprised my parents with a stay at Bootsie Back 40 Cabin for their 40th anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! The hosts went above and beyond with every detail. The cabin itself is so cozy and welcoming, surrounded by stunning fall colors that made the whole experience magical.
My parents loved the peace and quiet — they spent their mornings sipping tea while listening to the birds sing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and even took photos of my parents for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. They also got to visit the farm animals (including two emus!), which they absolutely adored.
Thank you for helping me give my parents such a memorable and heartfelt experience. This will be a trip they’ll cherish forever!

Great little spot. The wood stove made it very cozy and we had enough power for the water, lights and coffee in the morning. It was great having a camping experience while not having to take down tents in the morning. Recommend it if you're in the area.

Besides being the cabin weve ever been to, this cabin is perfect to get away from it all. We really felt recharged and rested and able to reconnect with nature. We saw plenty of different birds, including a flock of Cedar Waxwings and Woodpeckers. The wild blackberries also make for a delicious treat while exploring the surroundings. The atmosphere inside the cabin, during day or night, compares to no other. It is a pleasure for the senses and its solid wood structure has hints Alpine Forest wilderness.
You can not go wrong booking the owl's nest.

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest
Beautiful location. Serene and perfect for dropping off the face of the planet for a moment. Birdsong was beautiful. You have everything you need at the cabin to function as a normal human. Just no wifi and low cell service, which is perfect. And I am assuming it might be a little stuffy upstairs on really hot days- I was afraid I'd be chilly at night but it was really the opposite- a little warm. (I went in early July) To get to the coastal area from here, it's about a 25 minute walk down a dirt road- thought that was notable because I was worried about ticks but the path/road isn't too grassy or anything. If you go on the trails though, I'm sure the bugs and ticks might be more of a concern so might need boots/ clothing to cover up. The coast is along a main road and is mostly rocky so make sure to go out during low tide. Bring bug spray! The mosquitos are no joke. Thanks Helmut for creating this space for others to be able to get away from it all! 10/10 recommend- just be prepared for the elements.

1 night at Beach and Forest
We stayed here for our last night of our trip from Ontario to the Maritimes. HUGE forest plus the most amazing views of the Northumberland Strait with the warmest saltwater we found anywhere on the East Coast. The Owl's Nest Cabin is nestled deep in the woods a cool 10 min ride from where we parked the car and Helmut took us on his side by side with all our gear and came to pick us up again in the morning. The beautiful wood cabin built by Helmut with wood from his lot was an amazing place to rest our heads (even with the moose crashing through the woods at night!). We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely book again.

2 nights at Bootsie's
Bootsie's was our home for 2 nights During our road trip from Ontario to the Maritimes. It was well equipped and we were able to drive our car right to the cabin. We enjoyed the luxury of some electricity (while it lasted) to make some great coffee that was provided. We really enjoyed hanging out with the Emus and Chickens and taking in the sweeping views at sunset. Loved our stay here!

This off grid cabin was everything we could have hoped for! The cabin is about 1km from where the car gets parked but Helmut was so kind and thoughtful, transporting us and all our stuff to the cabin on our schedule and making sure we had everything we need. The cabin has everything you could need in the absence of electricity (candles, lanterns, bbq, French press, battery operated outdoor shower).
The property the cabin is on is so peaceful with endless trails to explore. It is walkable to the beach (~1km) if desired. However, Helmut’s appreciation for nature is contagious, making you not want to leave the property anyway. Helmut gave us an unforgettable experience showing us around the property and sharing his knowledge of the landscape and how to interact with it sustainably.
The bugs were bad this time of year (end of June) and you always have to be prepared to encounter wildlife. But neither of those things could dampen the incredibly enjoyable time we had at the Owl’s Nest. We want to come back and try staying here in every season!

A place “for those who seek to find a way to leave the world behind”. The Owl’s Nest is a perfectly secluded rustic getaway with everything you need to get cozy in nature. Off-grid, beautifully silent other than bird calls and rustling leaves, with clear paths for wandering and an abundance of wildlife. Be aware that it would be a fair hike to the beach, with a creek to wade through - but Helmut is willing to provide a lift if desired. Also, kitchen equipment is basic so if you’re planning complex meals you may want to bring along things like steak knives, salad bowls, serving spoons, cutting boards, and a coffee press. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will recommend it to anyone.

If you need an escape from the every day, this is your place. Our adventure began with a ride through scenic Winter Wonderland ride in the woods via UTV. The charming cabin, all hand made by Helmut, was charming, homey and very cozy during the cold winter weekend. There are some candles and lamps provided for light and three huge jugs of water to drink and wash dishes with. The wood stove functioned perfectly, keeping us warm at night and provided perfect heat to cook on.
Lots of firewood and birch bark to keep the wood stove going and plenty for a fire outside, which we thoroughly enjoyed with drinks and snacks. The outhouse is clean and scent free ;)
Helmut was a very friendly host and responded quickly to messages (given that he was our ride in and out). He groomed trails all around the property which made our Xcountry ski adventure super enjoyable. The wilderness area around the property is majestic. Some trails were left un-groomed, which was perfect for snowshoeing as well.
Highly recommend this off-grid getaway. While we did not want to leave, we did so with a feeling of peace and tranquillity. Thank you, Helmut for sharing your little piece of paradise with us! 🙏🏻🌲

The best forest glamping near Tatamagouche guide
Where to go
Rushtons Beach Provincial Park
Rushtons Beach Provincial Park is just a short drive from Tatamagouche and renowned for its sprawling sandy coastline along the Northumberland Strait. Campers can enjoy the warmest ocean water in Nova Scotia, observe piping plovers or ospreys from broad sandbars or walk the boardwalk that stretches across a picturesque salt marsh. Nearby waterfront campgrounds are well-equipped for both tents and RVs, with dump stations, playgrounds, and outdoor showers. Or splurge on a private Mongolian Yurt closer to Tatamagouche to continue a day of luxury on the water.
Amherst Shore Provincial Park
Journey farther along Northumberland Strait to Amherst Shore Provincial Park, where the natural beauty of the rugged shoreline is surrounded by red sandstone cliffs and dense woods. Hike the Annabelles Brook Trail as it winds through the park toward the beach, offering glimpses of local wildlife such as foxes and ospreys. After a day exploring, retire to on-site woodland campsites, which are open seasonally and equipped with amenities like picnic tables, firepits, electric hookups, and clean restroom facilities.
Tidnish Dock Provincial Park
Dive into a unique blend of nature and history at Tidnish Dock Provincial Park. Once the site of the groundbreaking Chignecto Marine Transport Railway project, now it offers scenic views of the Tidnish River, interpretive signs, and pathways leading to remnants of this ambitious project. For stellar hikes through the park, try the Tidnish Dock Walking Trail to the suspension bridge. Nearby campgrounds are available for tents, RVs, and cabin rentals, offering amenities such as electrical hookups, clean washrooms, and playgrounds.
When to go
Tatamagouche and its neighboring attractions experience summers with temperatures ranging from 18–25°C, ideal for beach activities and hiking. Winters can be brisk, going as low as -10°C. Snowfall is common, and nearby areas in northern Nova Scotia offer snowshoeing and cross-country skiing opportunities. Spring introduces blooming flora, while autumn paints the landscape with vibrant foliage, and both have mild temperatures for camping enthusiasts.
