The Black Barn is adorably decorated and was perfect for our girls getaway! We loved walking the trail in the backyard that leads to the beach (a 5 - 10 minute walk) as well as the proximity to Shediac where we had dinner on Saturday night. We also spent the day at the USVA Nordic Spa in Moncton (30 minute drive) so this place was very convenient. Beds were all super-comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked with everything you may need for cooking. Two full baths made it very easy for 8 ladies to get ready to go. We really appreciated the little fireplace in the living room and the huge banquette area for morning coffee and evening board games! Any group would be very happy here. While the weather wasn’t right for it this time, we loved the proximity of the back door to the fire pit and we would imagine that would be wonderful on a summer or early fall evening. The water does have a slight sulphuric smell but they address this in the guest manual, explaining that it isn’t harmful to drink, but a couple of jugs of drinking water are thoughtfully supplied in case you have issues drinking it. All in all, it was a great stay - and probably one of the coziest vacation rentals I have ever stayed in!
