Come
and relax in our quiet farm house, which is self contained and equipped
with everything you need for your stay. "The
McCrea's are the inspiration for the warmth and charm of this farm vacation.
Thanks for the heaping helpings of generosity and hospitality."
- Guest comment -All you bring is your food. The house
comfortably sleeps 8-10 people and is only rented to a single family
or party at one time. The guest house was built in 1910 and retains
many of it's original characteristics. It is within walking distance
of the farm, swimming hole, lake and wilderness trails. You
can relax on your own or join our family for farm activities such as
milking a cow, looking after livestock (including 3 horses), haying
or touring the farm. Some of our guests have viewed the birth of a calf
and milked a cow for the first time.
Woodlot Trails
Join
us in the early spring during the maple syrup season and experience
the collection of sap for the production of maple syrup. We have a network
of trails throughout the farm and woodlot which offers breathtaking
scenery, where you can do any number of outdoor activities. Hiking,
backpacking and camping out in the woods are family favorites. Bring
your mountain bikes, all terrain vehicles, cross-country skis, snowmobiles
or just a really good pair of sneakers. Our trails connect with the
NB Snowmobile trail systems. We can provide lodging and hot meals on
those cold winter days.
Swimming and Boating
We
have one of the best swimming holes in Southern New Brunswick with water
cascading down an overhead falls, just a two-minute walk from the guesthouse.
You can spend "Enjoyed the canoeing, fishing,
wildlife and walks... A real family holiday!"

Wildlife Viewing, Photography and Hunting
This
farm and woodlot have been managed to enhance wildlife habitat for many
years. It is common to see wildlife in their natural setting year round.
You can enjoy viewing and photographing wildlife such as white tail
deer, bear, various bird species, rabbit, coyote, moose and others.
Because our facilities are open year round we do offer accommodation
during hunting season which lasts for 7 weeks in October and November.
Guests are permitted to hunt on farm property. A licensed guide is available
for out of province hunters.
Bird Watching
"This must be heaven!"
- Guest comment -Guests
have enjoyed many peaceful and relaxing afternoons wandering in the
forests in search of rare species of birds. Drumming logs, nesting boxes
and bird feeders have been placed throughout the woodlot to attract
the birds.
