8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (129 reviews)
"The cabin itself was lovely, very rustic. The location was perfect for my family to fish the Margaree River pools. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The cabin had cobwebs and quite dusty. The pullout bed was made but full of crumbs and dust bunnies. I believe it’s most likely from not being used and folded up inside the couch, if you have a hide a bed that doesn’t get used often you know. (Cleaning staff were great to deal with) The bathroom smelled musty All and all it wasn’t THAT...

"The waterfront views and location are the best things about this property. However, the unit is very dated and doesn’t match the price. The furnishings need updating, the A/C only worked by plugging it in or unplugging it, the Wi-Fi stopped working after the first day, and we had no hot water until maintenance reset the system. With some renovations and better maintenance, this could be a great place to stay."
