My absolute favorite place to stay is a rustic 'resort' in southwestern Nova Scotia. It is only about 20 mins from a National park but once I am at Milford I hardly ever leave.
In the late 1800s the main house (rebuilt after a fire a cuple years ago) was a stagecoach stop which evolved into some overnight accomodation. This area of NS was very popular for hunting and fishing trips. The cabins were built in the 10s and 20s by individuals on a peninsula on a lake, as those people stopped coming they sold the cabins to the landowner. When he wanted to retire, almost the whole thing was bought by a group of shareholders who still own the property.
My mom went there as a kid and so did I. The cabins are VERY rustic. Expect to see a mouse or a squirrel on the inside, especially on cold night if you have a fire on. There are no phones, radios or TVs in the cabins. The main lodge doesn't even have a TV. There are mo locks on the cabin doors which is strange to many people but completely unneccessary.
Breakfast and dinner are served in the main lodge, they used to serve very plain, but good meals, but now things are getting a little fancier. Every cabin has a dock and you can rent a canoe, or bring your own. There is no pool but the lakes are great for swimming.
It is a great place to just relax. It doesn't matter if it is raining (there is well-stocked library inthe lodge) or if it is the hottest week in the summer (plenty of beaches).
