What an amazing place to stay here in Mavilette area and enjoy this unique experience!!…read more We booked this place for 2 nights during our vacation and use it as à base to visit the west cost of Nova Scotia.. Waze couldn't find the address so we followed the instructions on the website (but now we add it to google maps), we drove at 9pm, completely dark and start taking this dirt road surrounded by complete dark... Carol was waiting for us and showed us to our room. The house is amazing and the room very clean and comfortable. The next morning, we were mesmerized by the view and the care that carol and her partner put in to serve us amazing food! The cliff is breathtaking and Carol directed us to an excellent walk around it.. at night, sitting in the backyard and enjoying the sunset was lovely and the pics speaks by itself! A must if you are around the area!

I recently returned from a four-day roadtrip around Nova Scotia and had to share the excellent…read moreexperience I had with this Enterprise Rental location. They offered me an excellent daily rate under $20/day for an economy car, and ended up upgrading me to a Toyota Corolla at no charge. They picked me up at my hotel and were friendly, and did not pressure me to buy unnecessary insurances. I was on the road within about 15 minutes. They let me drop the car at the ferry terminal on my departure date which made leaving very easy. I got an email confirming receipt if the car and thanking me for using them, and a detailed invoice upon request. The ferry service was a disappointment, but Enterprise help make my stay in Nova Scotia a great experience.

We got there late and had to leave early for the ferry and our only regret is not getting there sooner to enjoy the property and the lake. Hostess was very kind to make us breakfast to go for the ferry and even compensated for our allergies . We will make this a regular stopping point in our future travels. David and Deb Tampa Florida

Dawn and Josh are just awesome. Full of energy and passion about both Nova Scotia and their local…read morebreweries, they were excited to share their knowledge about the area. This was something we were very excited about as well, since it was our first trip to NS and we wanted to drink it all in - literally and figuratively! Their partners are equally as great. We started our tour at Heritage, who had just moved into a larger facility to accommodate their rapidly expanding business. Then, it was off to Tusket Falls, where we had a full tour of the brewery and got a quick lesson on how the beers are made. We wrapped up our evening with a spectacular dinner (more beer for my husband, but wine for me) at Rudders. It was a fantastic evening and the perfect way to top off our trip. Both of us are excited to go back to see what's in store for our next tour! Dawn and Josh - see you soon!

4.5 here....the ferry was really great. From the reservation to getting on, to the actual ride…read more.. There was live entertainment in the Forchu Lounge! There were movies - both a kid friendly and an adult(ish) movie. You could sit out back and watch the massive wake, you could sit inside. Seats were comfortable. The upper vehicle deck attendant was especially nice because I was traveling with animals and she checked on them and found me to tell me they were ok! I've never left them in a car for 3 1/2 hours by themselves on a vessel before... it was a new thing. They did great! (well, apparently, one gets sea sick, I learned , not too bad, but was fine once we landed in Nova Scotia) There was food, although not great and also could not pay with an American Express card. A very common internationally used credit card, also an American ferry/ship, and can't use AMEX?? I booked my ticket with AMEX but couldn't buy food on board with it. That's kinda weird. So I'm knocking off the 1/2 star for that. Although I'm giving a full 5 for the review because this was a convenient and quicker way to get to Nova Scotia. And I'd totally do it again.

The CAT Ferry is a car/passenger ferry that navigates between Bar Harbor, Maine, and Yarmouth, Nova…read moreScotia in about three and a half hours. It's a huge savings in time (and perhaps money, too). If you book early, as we did, you get substantial discounts, and that's worth doing. The ferry leaves from Bar Harbor at 3 p.m. daily and from Yarmouth at 9:30 a.m. Remember to add an hour when going from DST in the states to Atlantic time in NS. The ferry is remarkably comfortable, with this caution: it is made of relatively lightweight construction which can result in more movement than might be expected while crossing the Gulf of Maine. Bottom line: one of our party got sick coming and going, partly because seas were running nearly 7 feet on the return journey, almost high enough to force cancellation. We're happy to report members of the crew are friendly experts at helping those who do have issues, and we found that when we reached shore all the sickness disappeared. It's not a bad idea to take some motion pills before you depart. As mentioned, on board is pretty comfy. There's lots of seats forward and aft (and in the middle), snack bars with modest but kind of pricey sandwiches and pastries, movies, and spaces on seats where passengers can lay down and rest or doze. Bingo games go on, there's decent wi-fi, and weather permitting it's fun to walk the outside decks or watch the ferry's gorgeous churning wake. Loading the cars is quick, unloading not so much. In Yarmouth, it took just about 75 minutes to clear customs in our car because there were only two Canadian border agents around. It was much better coming back to Bar Harbor where three US customs agents moved cars much more quickly.

The best thing for that is the wrap around porch. So lovely to sit and watch the water and the sunset if not foggy. We ate dinner and breakfast. Both delicious. The chowder was yummy without being too creamy. Fresh salad! The brandied lobster sauce over fish was very good. Vegetables done perfectly. We had the omelette breakfast- quite delicious and great service!
