We are just back from an incredible weekend stay at the cottage. We were backpacking the Red Trail from Pat's Cove to Swallowtail and this cottage is right off the trail in Dark Harbour. Check in with Brenda was great, lots of tips and information. The sunset was unbelievable to see from the decks. The cottage is great, we slept 4 hikers with ease. Lots of battery powered lights and the wood stove / propane stove are very nice to have. There is a spring very close to the wharf. We had no issues at all with the tides and the driveway access, just have to keep aware of the timing of the water levels, park on the road if needed which is only steps away. The trail system in Grand Manan is very well maintained and marked, the views are stunning along the coast, lots of very pristine undeveloped beaches and lookouts. Jennifer was even able to offer to shuttle us to our trail head on our first day, and offered some great local sights on the way. We met a number of the neighbors in Dark Harbour. Highly recommend this location and the hosts - its a hidden gem of a spot. Thank you!
