The A-frame we stayed in was dirty, spider webs, etc. not been cleaned for a while. The bed had an extremely terrible mattress. The mice nibbling away on the wood at night didn't add to the experience

Really enjoyed the Bear River area and Mill Yard was really convenient for visiting both Digby and Annapolis Royal.

We stayed in an A frame which was not on the water. The building did not look like the pictures in the booking. The cabin was clean with a bed that we brought sheets for. There was a blanket. No frig. there was a microwave. There were yurts with decks on the river's edge. Since we were away from the water, we walked over to a yurt that was being assembled and sat on that deck to watch the reversing tide on Bear River. Drove a short distance to Digby for scallops and fish and chips. Very good.

Loved the quiet atmosphere. The different sleeping options they had to offer. Beautiful scenery. Great care takers. Patrick and Cathy are awesome host. The place offers plenty to do, from nature walks, canoe rides, biking, swimming in the river and beautiful nature all around. Highly recommended. Great pricing.

We were expecting to have a bathroom in our cabin but the showers and bathrooms are shared on the property in a separate building. Also, the neighbors next to the property had dogs barking all night long, was hard to fall asleep. Other than that the service was really good, but we did have to pay extra to use the bbq.

This is an interesting overnight stop. Bearing in mind, the theme is based on 'campng', there are no usual amenities such as luxury bedding. No water in the room. no in room bathing or toilet facilities. However, if you arrive with the right mindset, you will enjoy the location and views. Just bring your own soap and other luxuries

This was one of our most enjoyable places we have stayed. The pics on the site dont show how cozy the cabins really are. Very nice place to stay. Watching the tide enter and exit the river,the stripped bass breaking the surface. Very nice view. The hosts there are absolutely amazing!!! Very friendy and accommodating. There is also basic necessities at the office to purchase.also kayak and canoe rentals. A must go to place. We are definately going back!!
