The cabin is a 5-minute walk from the Trans Canada RailTrail which grants easy access for longer bike rides, runs, hikes, and four-wheeler adventures. You’ll walk through a horse pasture and a cow pasture on your way to the cabin. There is a large farm pond (10ft deep) on the property for swimming. Enjoy access to locally-sourced food, firewood (at a small fee), drinking water, a private firepit, small wood stove and our old-fashioned wood-fired cook stove. There is no electricity or running water (but we provide ample drinking water) and there can be access to a charger box so you may charge your devices or have a light at night. Bring your pets and enjoy a private retreat. The max capacity of the cabin is three people. An outhouse with double-duty bag and second luggable loo are available for all guests. Minimum stay: 2 nights. NEW ADDITION: A new room, a small annex, has been constructed to allow for downstairs sleeping and writing area. It is fully insulated with a wood stove so this area may be used year round. The annex gives one a deeper feeling of being a part of the woods.

66km from Blomidon Provincial Park · 2 sites · Tents, RVs · Maitland, NS
"Big Blue" sits atop a lawn covered hill on the shore of the Cobequid Bay. A grove of fir and pine trees offer a sense of woodland solitude and fairies. The energy is magical. You can enjoy a front row seat or amble down over the lawn to sit on the end of the public wharf to watch the tidal bore squeeze into the mouth of the Shubenacadie River. It won't be long and you can marvel at the force of the water as it turns and begins to pour back toward the Bay of Fundy. Walk across the dyke to reach the oldest continually operating general store in North America - Frieze and Roy. Beyond the Wharf, a locally stocked craft shop borders us on the easterly side of the lawn. Next to it you will find Dawson Dowel Picnic Park, a playground and basketball court. On the westerly side of the driveway you there is a marsh area. The remnants of the shipyard where the WD Lawrence was built in the 1800's can be seen poking through the sand on the beach directly in front of the marsh. At low tide you can walk for miles in a westerly direction. Always be Tide Aware! Across the road from the marsh is the residence of WD Lawrence himself. It is a provincial museum. Directly across from Big Blue is a Ducks Unlimited pond. The sound of the geese and ducks can be heard 24 hours a day! There is a path that circumvents most of the pond. Adjacent to the Lawrence House parking lot there is an observatory where you can linger and watch the shenanigans of the occasional muskrat or possibly a beaver. The washrooms are accessed through a side door on the verandah of the main house. There are three showers and three toilets. If happen to be missing your "workout" there is a treadmill and exercise bike available to use. Outdoor fire regulations are strictly adhered to. There is a BBQ available for a small fee. Other perks (subject to scheduling) available at an additional cost might include: In-house Concerts; Reiki Sessions; Workshops and Ceremonies

Overview

About

Nestled along the Minas Basin, Blomidon Provincial Park offers a treasure trove of adventures for nature enthusiasts. With its towering cliffs, diverse ecosystems, and the world's highest tides, the park invites visitors to hike scenic trails, witness the dramatic tidal changes, and explore the rich red sands. Whether you're setting up camp amid the Acadian forests or seeking the thrill of a coastal hike, Blomidon is a haven for outdoor activities and camping.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Blomidon Provincial Park is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is mild and the park's flora is in full bloom. Summer months offer the warmest temperatures for camping and hiking. Winters can be harsh, with facilities often closed, making off-season visits less ideal for those seeking the full park experience.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's website for updates on trail conditions and facility closures before your visit.
  • Be prepared for the Bay of Fundy's high tides by reviewing tide schedules to ensure your safety.
  • Wear sturdy footwear for hiking the rugged terrain and cliffside paths.
  • Remember to bring insect repellent and sunscreen to protect against the elements.
  • Facilities such as washrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to bring extra supplies.
