The wood stove keeps the space very warm and cozy and we offer professional massage and reiki. You can walk, ski or bike for hours along a river. Or visit towering gypsum cliffs that host huge bat caves.. Our yurt is tucked away in the trees of our 20 acre wood lot. We provide lots of wood and fire starter for the wood stove but guests should have experience with wood stoves (or be really keen to learn). The stove is big enough to easily heat the whole yurt to cozy comfort but guests should expect to have to keep the stove going in order to keep the space warm and this may mean stoking it once in the night. We provide lots of extra blankets and two pairs of extra slippers for those who forget to bring their own. The solar panel creates enough power to run the lights, charge a cell phone and sometimes a computer but not much more. The space is beautiful, unique and quite dreamy but it is rustic. There is a composting toilet next to the yurt (with hand sanitizer but no sink) and outdoor showers (with hot water) near our farm house. There is a three burner propane cook stove, cooking and dining wares and a small sink for dishes.

There is a cooler and we can stock it with ice packs upon request. We supply coffee and a french press,. We also offer massage and reiki to guests for $90 (60 min). Morghain Lee is a massage therapist and Reiki Master and enjoys blending these two body therapies for a holistic healing experience. There is an outdoor fire pit and star gazing chairs. We ask that you only use natural soaps in the shower, the sink, pond or river. We have some Dr Bronners if you like:) Cell reception on the land depends on the provider but most people have weak service (one or two bars). Enough to maintain a phone connection (if you are not walking around too much) but not enough to download videos. Some people have more or less. We do allow pets but we ask for an extra $15 contribution to compensate for the extra cleaning. We also ask that dogs not be on the bed and that they don't chase our chickens or kittens. There are outdoor showers available in spring, summer and fall when the pipes won't freeze.

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

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!

Gloria was a friendly host and the big grassy yard that she offered was a good place to camp near the Bay of Fundy where you could watch the tides come and go.. There’s a nice walking trail from her place to the village of Maitland where we got a very decent dinner at a good price. The bathroom facilities were substandard, not clean, but made available whenever we needed it. Overall, it was a decent experience, although perhaps a bit overpriced.

Weekend Trip to The Red Fox Campground

We would have preferred a spot that was easier to maneuver BUT it was exactly as the pictures showed. We have 2 beagles and we worried that other campers might not be as fond of their songs as we are. But by quiet time (11pm) they were settled in. The ONLY unfortunate part of our stay was the large group of young people who didn't start drinking until after 11. At 230, my wife screamed, "Go to bed!" One of them yelled, "Sorry." But it still went on until after 3. They got our dogs and at least one other barking. Except for that one group, the campground was quiet after 11, and earlier, i dont think we hear a single loud voice. If there were dogs besides ours and the one we were travelling with, we never heard them. Better control of the 11pm quiet time is the only suggestion I have. Paula was a wonderful host and the campground is beautiful. Coyotes were in full song just as we were going to bed. The bathroom facilities were probably the nicest and cleanest that we've ever seen at a campground.

2 nights at Breezy Petals Camping Resort

This was my first attempt at camping out with my own tent while roadtripping to Nova Scotia. It was a good experience! Shower and toilet was available, and it was a regular flush, surprisingly. Unfortunetaly for my 3-person tent, the nails cannot go through the wooden platform, so I installed it on the side. If you're Glamping or using the already available tents on-site, it might be a better experience due to bugs, since this has 2 ponds around. Overall, for a first time, I was satisfied! I just hope that the "Bois Road" that takes you to there ends up soon being paved, because that is one dusty unpaved road. At least the site is distant from it, so it's no problem!

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.

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.
