Stay near Aspy Bay
Very nice cabin with incredible view. Host was very attentive and answered questions we had about area. Bedrooms a little small which I expected in cabin but lots of space for my wife and I. Having 4 people would be a little crowded.

This little cottage had everything we needed, all the essentials and more. From bedding to kitchen tools, bathroom essentials, and more importantly great and kind hosts, Miles & Jackie. The location is breathtaking. Can’t put it in words, you must visit:)
