We planned a trip to PEI and decided to take our time and stay a night in Quebec and one in New Brunswick on our way there. Of all our stays on our East Coast getaway, this was the one we loved the most, and it was only one night! I had read other reviews that said the listing photos didn’t do it justice. Complete understatements.
Andrew is a great host and wonderful guy. So friendly, warm and welcoming. He gave us a tour of the place and some of his projects on the property. He took the time to walk us through how everything works but ultimately made it very clear that we were free to be ourselves, enjoy the property, and be at ease during our stay.
We could not get over the view and the surrounding nature. Stunning. A small fruit/vegetable/baked goods stand at the end of the road and a swimming spot on the river across the road made the area even more appealing. We were going to drive into Saint John for dinner but Andrew mentioned a local joint we
might enjoy and asked if we wanted to spend almost 2 hours traveling to and from dinner, when we only had one night to enjoy the area. Good point. We ate locally and had a great dinner. It allowed us to enjoy the sunset from the deck of our dome site. Not to be missed. The most incredible part was as we were getting ready for bed, we started seeing fireflies outside. We wandered out and were surrounded by them. My partner had only seen a few once or twice and he was enchanted by this wonder. It was magical!
The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The dome has a fireplace (which we didn’t need but next time we will use!) and comfy chairs, with a view of the valley and river. The outdoor shower was a refreshing and freeing experience in the morning. Drinking fresh coffee while showering with a view of the area was outstanding.
One night was not enough. We have decided to visit Nova Scotia next year but we will start with 2-3 nights at Andrew’s place and possibly end the trip the same way. Thanks SO much Andrew!!
