"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.

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.
