Beautiful view from the front and we loved the village of Alma. Location to Fundy National Park (literal minutes), Hopewell Rocks (30 minutes) and the restaurants/brewery of Alma (5 minute walk) made it ideal for exploring the area. Very nice to have it be dog friendly- the dog would've loved to spend the whole trip laying outside, watching the ride and the village. Would definitely come back and stay longer in the future- kitchen set up made it possible to prepare food. Great price- four adults loved our stay!

A quaint little place with four cottages overlooking Alma and it's harbor where local fishermen…read moreabandon their vessels during low tide. We were in the third cottage, where electricity main entered our building and a massive electrical main situated in the lower bedroom. No other cottages had this, which suggests that underground wiring supports the others. The cottages are cozy and we opted for the lower bedroom as it is closest to the only bathroom. Our cottage could use some work but given the late season visit and the lack of options, it was perfect. The owners were also quite nice. Like I said, it's quaint but it's a good spot to rest your head and watch the tides from a ridge. Oh, they have wifi. It's not advertised on their website so do ask.

Nice, clean place. It's more like a vacation rental than a motel as it has a small kitchen and…read moreliving room but it's also good for just a night. Free wifi, works well! Super friendly staff.

The view of the water is unbeatable (and when the tide is out you can walk down and stroll along the ocean shore!). We love these so much that we've been there twice in the last month. Economy isn't too far from Halifax, so you don't feel like you're killing much time in travel. But it's far enough that you feel like you're far from home and away from it all. There are three Bernese Mountain Dogs that roam the property and love making friends with guests. The owners are friendly, and the duty manager Warren couldn't possibly be more helpful and happy to make your stay the best possible. I really can't recommend these cottages highly enough. Give them a try, you won't regret it!

We happened upon this place only to find them full. The people were so nice, and after some calls they found us a place in Parrsboro. We were impressed with the place and decided to return the next day for a night. That one extra day turned into three extra days. The cabins are very well equipped, clean and reasonably priced. It's right on the bay and the tides are amazing. We definitely plan to return some day.

We were visiting Historic Stanley Bridge for the traditional "Ceilidh" {traditional Scots/Irish music}. Owners Drew and Frances made sure we were secure with tickets and great seats. All units at Linden Homestead have been newly renovated and are fresh and sparklingly clean. These 2 nights at Linden Homestead were the beginning of our trip to PEI and Nova Scotia; Frances and Drew were exceedingly helpful and friendly with tips about our further travels. We would highly recommend this property and would certainly stay here again.

The accommodations on offer have evolved over the years, and currently consist of two completely furnished 2-bedroom cottages, as well as four two-person apartments. Donna and Charles Reid are gracious and knowledgeable hosts, and the accommodations are always very clean and in fine condition. My favourite is the Bay Vista Cottage. On my most recent visit, through a weekend in June 2014, things could not have gone more smoothly, and we were able to use the cottage as a base to explore many of the numerous nearby attractions -- Advocate Beach, Advocate Harbour, Cape d'Or, Cape Chignecto Wilderness Park, and Spencer's Island. And we had two lovely meals at the nearby Wild Caraway Restaurant, one of the finest in Atlantic Canada. Highly recommended.

I booked to stay in a 2 bedroom. When I called to confirm the month before, they advised me that I was actually in the new 1 bedroom (that was not available when I booked) The day I was leaving they called to advise there was a "plumbing issue" and I would be staying in even a smaller room. I did not complain one time. Friday afternoon someone had gone to the front office to ask which cabin I was staying in and they told this person which cabin I was in. Friday night when my husband was alone as he did not feel good, during this time someone showed up at the door to advise there was also a plumbing issue in this cabin and we have to get out ASAP. When he asked where we being moved, he advised that the person who rented would get an email, which I never did. I got back to my cabin and my husband and my dog are gone. I finally get him back to the cabin to advise I never got an email. Saturday morning while getting ready for the rodeo in Truro, the cleaning team advised we had to leave as they had someone else booked in for the night, we had an hour to leave and find a hotel to stay in last minute. When I emailed to advise of how disappointed I was, they offered nothing barely even an apology. I have emailed them numerous times to get my deposits back for the stay i canceled in 2026 and they still have not reached out to me. Place has gone downhill and is no longer a safe and peaceful environment. I have filed a claim with small claims court with them.

I am currently involved in a Yoga Program that requires me to observes 24hrs of silence at some point during the course. No radio, internet, TV, talking---notta. What better spot came to mind then Irwin Lakes! My husband and I have been here 2 other times and just loved it. The chalets are rustic but equip with everything you would need. They are nestled in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trees and wooded area. And the view---overlooking the lake. Stunning. They have 1 bedroom chalets and and even 2 bdrm. Some larger then others, some have hot tubs even. Irwin Lakes is reasonably priced and such a great spot. I recommend to so many people!! If you havent experienced you should!
