Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The hundreds of wild bunnies that roam the property freely
- Direct access to a 1km white sand beach with surfing lessons
- The main lodge's massive stone fireplaces and cozy, communal vibe
Hurtig oversikt: A beloved Nova Scotian institution that trades heavily on nostalgia and bunnies to distract you from the fact that the older cottages are showing their age.
Gjennomgått av @nourishandwandertravel: I stayed in this glamping dome and it was the ultimate mental reset. Waking up to the forest view from a king-sized bed and hopping straight into my private hot tub was pure magic. It’s cozy, private, and honestly better than a standard hotel room.

Reality check
The photos show pristine, sun-drenched rooms, but guests often arrive to find salt-stained carpets, missed housekeeping spots, and wear-and-tear that the high price tag doesn't justify.
- You have kids who will lose their minds feeding wild bunnies
- You want to surf, golf, and sit by a bonfire all in one day
- You appreciate a 'summer camp for families' social atmosphere
Renslighet og vedlikehold
7.8
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Staffing shortages mean deep cleans are sometimes rushed. Expect some dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but older cottages have reports of mildew in grout and dated fixtures.
- Maintenance: Constant battle against the salt air. Rusty patio furniture and peeling exterior paint are common.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality. Clean, but not luxurious. Pool towels can run out on busy weekends.
- Odors & scents: Main Lodge smells of woodsmoke (pleasant). Older cottages can smell musty/damp.

FAQ & Skjulte tips
Alt du faktisk vil vite før du bestiller.
Are the bunnies real?
Yes, hundreds of wild bunnies live on the property. They are cute but wild—don't try to pick them up.
Is the pool heated?
The indoor pool is heated and open year-round. The outdoor pool is seasonal and heated, but fighting the Atlantic breeze can make it feel cooler.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, in specific pet-friendly rooms for a $25/stay fee. Dogs must be leashed to protect the bunnies.
Is there AC?
Most units now have heat pumps/AC, but some older cottages rely on ocean breezes. Verify your specific unit type before booking.
How is the wifi?
Free but spotty. Good enough for email, but streaming movies will buffer constantly during peak hours.
Do I need a car?
Yes. The resort is isolated, and you'll want a car to visit nearby Liverpool or dining spots.
Innsidetips
- ✨
The 'Riverview' cottages are cheaper but sit closer to the road; spend the extra for 'Oceanfront' to actually hear the waves.
- ✨
You can order from the 'Munchie Menu' in the Founder's Lounge for a cheaper, more casual meal than the main dining room.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Lakeside Retreat' room if you want the newest hotel-style interiors without the Main Lodge noise.
