We were looking for an out-of-the-way, quiet place to stay during our family's first trip to Magic Mountain. We knew the two days at the park would be noisy and exhausting, so we wanted our accommodations to be as relaxing as possible. Well, if you have a large family like us and want much better accommodations than a cramped hotel room, we highly recommend Joe's farmhouse for larger families. The home is full of rustic charm but exceptionally clean and comfortable. While there are three bedrooms, there is also a sitting room with a futon, so each of our children had their own place to sleep. There is A/C on the main level which kept the main living space cool, and each bedroom had its own fan, with A/C as well in the master bedroom. Wifi was good for multiple devices at once. Laundry was effortless with new, extra-capacity washer and dryer. The large kitchen (indeed the whole house) was very well-equipped and stocked, with many little extras included by the host. The grounds were kept very well and are huge, larger than a soccer field, so more than enough space for the kids to run around and play while the adults have their choice of several garden areas to relax in cushioned Adirondack chairs or bench swing. The area is very, very quiet; almost like a nature retreat.
The home is close to several local seafood-oriented fast food stops, and only 12 minutes or so into the town of Shediac, which has more than enough grocery shopping and choices for restaurants. Parlee Beach is a busy but wonderful beach with a small playground, soft sand, and very shallow sections with warm water; perfect for small kids. The drive to Magic mountain (and Moncton in general) is an easy 35 minutes, mostly on highways.
Overall we highly recommend Joe's farmhouse if you desire a quiet, relaxing environment with enough amenities to keep kids entertained and active. We would not hesitate to stay there again.
