Welcome to "The Old Canoe"! Our 15-acre shore-front property is located along the Cumberland Bay Stream in Cumberland Bay, New Brunswick, Canada. An outdoor enthusiast's dream, we offer unique vacation rentals which provide a camping experience with lots of extras, class and charm. They are perfect retreats for couples, or for singles looking for a much-needed get-away. Those who vacation here experience a mix of modern conveniences, along with some off-grid or old-fashioned rustic charm. SUPER BONUS: Registered guests can enjoy FREE use of our canoes and kayaks at our shore (depending on weather conditions). (Note that SWIMMING IS NOT ADVISED, as it is somewhat muddy/marshy, and shallow) ... but it's PERFECT for small watercraft. Hipcamp named us a runner-up for the best Hipcamp to visit in New Brunswick in 2023, and we look forward to providing a great experience in 2024! WHAT TO PACK: Food and ice in a cooler, and your clothes! You may also want to bring rubber boots or water shoes, sunscreen, and bug spray.

FOR DETAILS ON WHAT'S INCLUDED WITH VACATION RENTALS, TAKE A LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL LISTINGS. We live on this property, and over the years we have enjoyed all it has to offer. In 2021, we decided to give others the opportunity to enjoy it too! If you're looking for a place to enjoy nature and solitude. THIS IS IT! To be candid, this IS NOT a party place! So, if that's what you're looking for, this is definitely NOT for you! Our goal is to provide a safe and peaceful place for our guests (and us) to Relax, Get Outdoors and Enjoy Nature, Get Back To Basics, and to Unplug and Unwind! Here at "The Old Canoe", we currently have two vacation rentals (Cabin 4, and "Main Street" the Bus). These are available in the warmer months only. We may add a couple more in the future, but our goal is to keep it small and quaint so that our guests have their space and enjoy their privacy. Cell phone service is very poor in this area, so it's a great opportunity to UNPLUG and get away from the daily hustle and bustle! We do provide Free LIMITED Wi-Fi for registered guests who would like to check messages or emails, etc. This property has a variety of terrain, including clearings, forest, thickets, paths, maple groves, and the Cumberland Bay Stream which flows through marsh wetlands and empties into Grand Lake (the largest fresh water lake in New Brunswick). It offers an abundance of wildlife, plant life, fresh air, tranquility, relaxation, and has the ideal setting for leisurely water sports such as canoeing, kayaking, row boating, or paddle boarding. During your stay, you might see birds such as woodpeckers, wild turkeys, ducks, geese, cranes, or eagles. You may even catch a glimpse of foxes, deer, moose, otters, beavers, frogs, or turtles! Don’t forget your camera! Have a siesta or read a book while relaxing in your hammocks. Stroll through paths or the Shore Road, and Relax in various seating areas throughout our property. If you plan on going fishing, it is your responsibility to check with Natural Resources and Energy Development for license information. We do not provide fishing gear. Cumberland Bay is a small community, centrally located between three major New Brunswick cities (Fredericton, Moncton, and Saint John).
