Yurt Nestled in Nature on Community

(20)
71km from Falls Lake Provincial Park · 1 site
Nestled in the trees on a large deck with the sounds of birds and squirrels all around, this unique structure spans 15 ft across with 14 triangular sides. It holds a double bed, dinning table, rocking chair, 3 burner stove, sink with water, full kitchenette and all the cooking utensils you need. 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 are all the utensils that you may need to cook for yourself but there is limited counter space so cooking elaborate meals is possible but could be cumbersome. 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. For those wanting to stay for longer periods in the winter we can discuss usage of the shower in our house.

"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

Maplewood Creek is a peaceful, clothing-optional property designed for those who value connection — with nature, with like-minded community, and with themselves.

Set just off the beaten path, the land offers a quiet, rustic setting where guests can unplug and unwind in comfort. Think of it as a gentle step into a more natural rhythm — a place where the air feels fresher, time slows down, and there’s no pressure to be anything but yourself. Each campsite or rental space will spaced thoughtfully to give you privacy, while still allowing opportunities to connect with others if you choose. (We currently have one site operational) If you’d prefer to enjoy the entire space to yourself, that’s welcomed too — we fully support both community connection and complete solitude. The experience is intentionally off-grid however we appreciate that some guests enjoy the ability to be plugged in. Check each sites description for details on cell/wifi service. Basic amenities are provided to make your stay easy, without compromising the simplicity of the experience. Maplewood Creek is not a resort — it’s a natural setting with a touch of enchantment, where your body and soul are invited to rest. IMPORTANT: the property is in the early stages of development and in its natural state. As with any natural destination you share the space with nature including black flies, mosquitoes, ticks and other insects. We do our best to minimize their presence in safe ways. Protecting yourself will ultimately be visitors responsibility. Please read the site information completely and reach out with any questions. Nature awaits ..

RiverlaneView Nova Scotia

17. RiverlaneView Nova Scotia

41km from Falls Lake Provincial Park · 1 site · Tent, RV
RiverLaneView: Off-Grid Riverside Pitch in the Nova Scotia Woods Welcome to RiverLaneView, a quiet patch of forest at the end of a private road in the heart of Nova Scotia, with your own access to the South River. Set slightly up the slope among the trees, this is a spot for a few days of real quiet. In the morning the sun comes up right over the river, the mist still hangs between the trees, and eagles and hawks circle overhead. Barely any traffic. Just the woods. PLEASE READ FIRST: THE LAND IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION We want you to know exactly what you are booking. This is a brand new site and still a work in progress. The gravel driveway is finished and ready to park on, but the rest of the land is untouched forest, just as nature left it. There is no power and no water on site yet, and no washrooms. This pitch is for fully self-sufficient, off-grid travellers only. If you arrive in a self-contained RV or van, or you are happy to pitch a tent and string up a hammock and bring your own water, you will feel right at home. If you need hookups or facilities, this is not the right spot for you yet. WHAT YOU CAN DO HERE - Park one self-contained RV or van on the finished gravel driveway. - Pitch one or two tents, or hang a hammock between the trees, on the natural forest ground around the driveway. - Direct, private access to the South River. - Fish right here: the South River and nearby Lake Torment are well stocked. - Watch the sunrise over the water, facing east, and the eagles and hawks over the river valley. - Enjoy a small, friendly neighbourhood along the river and the lake. A few houses, real people, and now and then a friendly village dog stopping by to say good morning. Real Canadian country living. GOOD TO KNOW - No power, no water, no washrooms on site. Come prepared and self-sufficient. - Pack it in, pack it out. Please leave the forest the way you found it. - Dogs are welcome. - A two-night minimum is recommended, as the drive out here is part of the adventure. - Power, water and a small washroom are planned for 2027, along with a larger RV pad and turning area. For now you get the place in its most natural, original state, before any of that is built. THE NEAREST STORE (Convenience in the Woods) You are off the grid, but not off the map. Just a few minutes away at Lake Torment East you will find the only store around: a gas station, a small general store, and the Woodsman Grill for fresh fish and chips, burgers and poutine when the campfire needs a night off. THE LOCATION: REMOTE, BUT WITHIN REACH Tucked into the heart of Nova Scotia on a narrow strip of land between Armstrong Lake and Lake Torment. Close enough to civilization, far enough from the noise: - New Ross, about 30 min: the nearest village, with a diner and a grocery store for a hot meal and a proper restock. - Halifax Stanfield Airport, about 1 h 45: your arrival point from Europe and North America. From there it is scenic highways and a stretch of real gravel road right to us. - Kentville, about 1 h: the lively heart of the Annapolis Valley, with a farmers market, cafes and everything you need to stock up. - Wolfville, about 1 h: home of Acadia University, known for its farmers market, live music and festivals, and the gateway to the Bay of Fundy basin with the highest tides in the world. The surrounding Annapolis Valley is also award-winning wine country. - Digby, about 1 h 15: world famous for its scallops and the ferry to New Brunswick. - Lunenburg, about 1 h 15: a UNESCO World Heritage town, a colourful harbour with deep seafaring and German roots, and home port of the schooner Bluenose II. (Drive times are estimates from the site. Please check your own route in Google Maps from 153 River Lane.) IN SHORT A perfect escape for explorers who want the forest without leaving the world entirely behind. RiverLaneView: one private road, a handful of neighbours along the river and the lakes, and your own spot somewhere in between. Pack the thermos, light a fire, and let the South River do the rest.
