Mersey River Chalets

Top choice in Nova Scotia


Get back to nature at this cabin complex, deep in the woods beside Harry's Lake. There's a choice of pine chalets, a spacious log house, a four-room lodge and (best of all) tipis. Cabins have wood-burning stoves and private porches with barbecues; rooms in the lodge have private decks with lake views; and the cozy tipis have fully equipped kitchens.

Canoes and kayaks are available for guests.
