The property is a couple minutes from the Cabot Trail, located on the scenic drive, south harbour beach is a few minutes away, or just relax on the deck watching the bald eagles soar above. Or go on a hike and pick a basket of fresh blueberries.

Launch your canoe from the property into South Harbour and spend hours enjoying nature and the scenery.

Want to try archery then you'll have to go to "Highland Bow and Arrow"
For those of you who enjoy the night sky, on a clear night which we have many, you will watch in awe the gazillions of stars that are so crystal clear you can just about touch them.
From here you can go whale watching in Bay St Lawrence, 30 minutes drive, or to Meat cove 40 minutes to see the grandeur of the shoreline beauty. We have so many trails just one summer will not be enough time to explore them all, you'll have to book a return visit.

Stay near Aspy Bay
Very nice cabin with incredible view. Host was very attentive and answered questions we had about area. Bedrooms a little small which I expected in cabin but lots of space for my wife and I. Having 4 people would be a little crowded.
