    Creature comforts
    Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
    Experience this gem of nature!  "The Old Canoe" is located in Cumberland Bay, New Brunswick, Canada (a small community centrally located between the major cities of Fredericton, Moncton, and Saint John).  This shore-front property is located along the Cumberland Bay Stream, which flows through marsh wetlands and empties into Grand Lake (the largest fresh water lake in New Brunswick).  Don’t forget your camera!  There's lots to see in nature! An outdoor enthusiast's dream, our unique vacation rentals provide an authentic experience with nature with a mix of modern conveniences and off-grid, old-fashioned rustic charm.  Perfect couples retreat, or singles needing a get-away.  Fancy Outhouses are provided near your rental and near the Shore, and an Outdoor Heated Shower in the forest promises a refreshing experience. Guests enjoy FREE use of our shore, canoes, and kayaks (depending on weather conditions). SWIMMING IS NOT ADVISED, as it is somewhat muddy/marshy, and shallow ... but it's PERFECT for small watercraft and fishing! 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. Rentals are stocked with just about everything else you'll need for a great stay, including propane BBQ and burner/cook stove.  CHECK OUR LISTINGS FOR DETAILS ON WHAT'S INCLUDED. We live on this 15-acre property, and enjoy all it has to offer.  In 2021, we decided to let others enjoy it too!  We named our property "The Old Canoe", inspired by the old canoes we used while growing up. If you're looking for a place to enjoy nature and solitude.  THIS IS IT! We want to provide a safe and peaceful place for our guests (and us) to Relax and Enjoy Nature ... so to be candid, this IS NOT a party place!  If that's what you're looking for, this is definitely NOT for you Poor cell phone service provides a great opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle!  We do provide Free LIMITED Wi-Fi, but encourage guests to Unplug! THINGS TO EXPERIENCE:  Hammocks, Books, Games, Walking Paths, Sitting Areas, the Shore, Boats, Picnic, Campfire, Fishing (bring your own gear), Unplug, Unwind, Enjoy Nature, RELAX!

    We had a wonderful time at 'The Old Canoe: The Bus and Cabin 4". The property is lovely. The host, Charlotte, is wonderful. We had everything we could want and lots of lovely extra touches. We will be going back and will recommend to our friends!

    This was such a great find. If you’re having an East Coast adventure, you should certainly put this on your list of places to stay

    Unique, groovy! Accommodating host
    "Main Street" the Bus
    We loved our stay at the "Main Street Bus"! Charlotte the host was very welcoming and helpful. They have everything you would need there, just bring food! Peaceful location, the water is just down a path and we went out in one of the canoes, and then tried kayaking the next day. Little things like cute signs arou d the property, decorations in the bus, and fairy lights everywhere at night just made it special. We brought camping gear and didnt need any of it apart from the camping stove. Also the best decorated (and clean) outhouse I've ever seen! Definately worth a stay. Wish we had have stayed 2 nights rather than just the 1. We also loved relaxing in the hammocks! Would love to go back. It's clear that Charlotte takes pride in giving people a unique and memorable experience.😊

    Amazing stay at Main Street the bus! This is my second time going and I will definitely be back! After kayaking we returned to land and saw that they left us cold Gatorade. Lots of wild life to see
