Farmstay holiday rentals in Atlantic Canada

We had a wonderful stay at Ruth’s place in Margaree Valley—a beautiful, serene location just off the Cabot Trail and close to Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Easy drives to Egypt Falls, Cheticamp, and Ingonish. The house was well-equipped for our family of four, and the 3-season room was perfect for enjoying the outdoors while staying protected from bugs and weather. There’s a short walk to the river near the bridge. No cell service, but the Starlink WiFi worked great. Ruth was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Heads up: gas stations are sparse and many close early without self-serve—when we visited, the only self-serve in Cheticamp was out of gas. Mosquitos and black flies were in full force, but bug spray (provided!) helped. Our kids loved the games and puzzles inside during rainy moments. Highly recommend to families looking to unwind in nature—we’d happily stay here again!

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this airbnb. The location was easy to find and access, and it met our needs for our stay in the area. The airbnb was very cozy, and as a bonus, came with friendly chickens on the property! :) Natalie was very responsive and provided excellent communication. We would definitely recommend this place and this host to anyone looking for a rental in the area. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Melanie's cottage. The cottage was very spacious, clean and had absolutely everything that we needed. (bottle of wine was a nice touch) Melanie was very responsive to our questions and responded right away. The cottage is on a busy street but is relatively quiet when you are on the beautiful front deck. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the area.

We had a wonderful time at Darthia Farm! We enjoyed sunrise down by the water and loved the short, but beautiful trail that led us right down to the water. We thoroughly enjoyed visits from the farm dogs and cat! The simple amenities really helped us to slow down and be intentional, even the way we washed the dishes. It was all very peaceful and what we needed. Even in the brisk weather of October, we enjoyed the outdoor shower! We cooked a delicious dinner one evening with yummy pesto and other goodies from the farm store (goat milk gelato was 🔥). Shepsi recommended some local hikes and on our last day ,we ventured over to Petit Manan wildlife refuge and hiked the Hollingsworth trail... absolutely stunning, and easy trail. Our stay here away from the busy tourist places of Maine was perfect!

This is a delightful place. Watching the sunrise and moonrise from the dock was beautiful. While it is a bit of a drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, coming back to the house to relax was a highlight. The girls did a few puzzles while the guys played pool. We sat on the dock to relax in the sun and listen to the water lapping on the shore. Thank you for letting us stay here.

The pictures don’t do it justice! This cabin has it all, and Bethany was a great host. I would recommend this place to anyone, and I would stay here again.

This is an absolute charmer of a cabin on a quaint, quiet farm- including a view of a couple of very happy pigs in their large pen. Acadia, Stonington, and more great destinations are easily drivable but I can also attest that the WiFi worked great, as I had to squeeze some work in. I would love to return and would recommend staying here to anyone!

As our last stay everything was very accommodating and comfortable. Great music, books, art and an expansive beautiful landscape. The stars at night are beyond amazing. Highly recommended.

Shonna's place was compact, very efficient and comfortable. It is exactly as shown in the pictures. We really enjoyed our short stay there and would highly recommend it. Darlene and Terry

Absolutely amazing! A truly beautiful space in an even more beautiful location. Great hosts and a great experience overall, I would recommend this airbnb and happily book again should the opportunity arise!

Wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay special. Very supportive with some last minute problem solving. Lovely shower, a bit of a trek from the trailer. Cute little dressing room inside with space to store our bags out of the way. One of our favourite stops of our trip and look forward to returning!!

We chose this location because it wasn’t far from Wolfville and Aylesford - I have family in both location. The accommodation was easy to get to and convenient. Eric and Jenny were responsive and helpful but we were out most of the time so I didn’t need much help. The place was clean and well kept and very well done. I stayed with my 4 boys and we were quite comfortable. The location had a great back lawn for my kids to run outside and play. Just a heads up if you’re travelling with kids in the summer months. There are no room darkening window coverings so you might want to bring your own. The place is beautiful with lots of light and windows so it’s pretty light in the place depending on when you’re going to bed. We would totally go back :)

Tijdens onze roadtrip door Nova Scotia bezochten we Cape Breton Park en verbleven 2dagen in Port Hood bij Clarke en Shelley. Eén mooi verblijf en een mooie ligging met uitzicht op de St Lawrence Bay. Shelley had goede tips voor de omgeving.

Nancy Elizabeth's cottage was absolutely perfect for what I needed. I travelled solo and it was a cozy place to rest and relax. It was only minutes from Hopewell Rocks. I felt right at home. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well in the peaceful surroundings. I would totally recommend this cottage if one is visiting the Hopewell Cape area.

Thank you very much for the stay! We loved the house, it was spacious and authentic. David and his wife are very welcoming and generous. This was a gem and we are happy we found it.

This place is amazing! It has everything you could possibly need and so many cute little details! Ashley was so nice and introduced us to all of her goats across the street. It was by far the best place I’ve ever stayed in! My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer, 3 nights wasn’t long enough. Hoping to come back again soon😊

Sharon’s riverside cottage was a great end to our NS vacation. We spent many hours enjoying all the amazing seating areas on the property, but especially enjoyed coffee and meals down on the water. Sharon made us feel at home and was the most amazing host we’ve had throughout our stay. We would recommend this beautiful cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing location on Cape Breton.

Such a comfortable stay for our family gathering! We are repeat visitors and will definitely return again. Franklin is a fantastic host.

We spent our 10th wedding anniversary here and it was exactly what we needed and wanted. The deck overlooks the beautiful harbour- we were able to relax and enjoy watching the fishing boats coming in, many sea birds and song birds , even a pair of eagles who made their appearance several times. The wharf was wonderful as well, I read my book while my husband even dove off a couple of times - and the water was refreshing after a long hot tub soak (and easily accessible for a cold plunge.) We really enjoyed the kayaks and exploring the nearby beaches and even a little island. The house was exactly as described - just like my grandmothers house, with cool trinkets and knick knacks. The nostalgia was appreciated. Very clean, lots of towels and beds were comfy. No shortage of cooking supplies / cutlery or dishes either.

exceeded my expectations! The property looked exactly like the photos—clean, well-maintained. The beach was incredibly private, offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere, making it feel like our own little paradise. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Peaceful close to a convenience store and to cape st marys, my Mother really enjoyed the sheep, the food/snacks

Very peaceful location close to the sea and national parks. The small house was very comfortable for a couple. Kitchen had every thing required, also there's a washer and dryer. I would recommend this property if you like peaceful vacations.

We've stayed at Sean's barn many times now and it never disappoints! Just a perfect spot to spend a weekend away, with tons of activities to do indoors and close to many other great outdoor activities. As always, we can't wait to go back!

I can summarize our experience in two words: absolutely fantastic! Every amenity you could need was there, the cabin was clean and tidy, and our host was excellent to deal with. Brendan was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed him. A great experience and we will definitely be back!
