Owl’s Nest Wilderness Farm Cottage The Google rating is 4.5

Come experience farm life for yourself and stay at The Owl’s Nest Wilderness Cottage – our private, off grid retreat that boasts open pastures, wildlife and a warm Nova Scotia welcome! Tucked between Bear River, Annapolis Royal, and Kejimkujik National Park, Owl King Orchard is a 70 acre farm and fruit orchard that is home to highland cattle, sheep, goats and winding forest trails.

Our 196 square foot off-grid cottage is located in our farm’s backfield, approximately a 5 minute walk from our main parking area. The cottage’s main space offers an airy, open concept layout that features a kitchenette with a single burner butane stovetop for cooking one pot meals and heating water, kitchen utensils, and a large cooler (please bring your own ice), dining area and lounge overlooking the pasture. The sleeping area is located in an upstairs loft accessed by stepladder and there is a futon on the main floor that is ideal for a child. The bathroom facilities (composting toilet) are located a short walk from the cottage. An outdoor shower is available for stays 2+ nights during summer months.

There is off grid plumbing, fresh drinking water and water for washing up (with a nifty foot pump for convenience) that is provided during your stay. Please mind water consumption.

The cottage is heated by a high efficiency wood burning stove. Firewood is included with your stay. Natural light keeps the cottage bright by day and a set of rechargeable wireless lanterns will keep you well-lit and cozy at night.

There is no WiFi but cell reception is good. A 10,000mAh power bank is provided to charge your cell phones/devices. The cabin is equipped with books to read as well as games and cards to play.

If you’re coming to unwind or to explore the local area, there is plenty of fun to be had all year ‘round.
