We spent three wonderful nights at the Elephant's Nest. We had a great time at this luxury resort like B&B with kayaking and relaxing in the hot tub. The hosts John and June were gorgeous and soo friendly. During our trip we stayed at many B&Bs but this was the best one for sure. Thanks again for everything. Love from... more

We found their brochure at the visitor's center, after reading it we were drawn to this B&B. It was welcoming, on a lake, sounded relaxing. It was all of that, we felt welcomed and relaxed from the minute we arrived, bedrooms were each well appointed, everything clean, yard (gardens) well maintained and so nice to be able to sit by... more

This place makes you feel like you could put down roots and stay forever. The service, advice, room and meals were absolutely beyond perfect. I can't think of anything I'd rather do then go back there. leaving was like saying good bye to old friends that you don't want to loose touch with. Thank you for a wonderful time. billie more

We stumbled onto this bed and breakfast while traveling in Nova Scotia. The setting was comfortable and beautiful. John couldn't have been a better host. He had several day trips organized that guests could make use of. These included directions and maps. He went out of his way to make sure we had what we needed. June prepared delicious breakfasts... more

My wife and I stayed at the Elephant's Nest on August 1 and 2 and had a wonderful experience. John and June are the prefect hosts, so friendly and helpful. A relaxing hot tub, kayaking, and a beautiful flower garden are just a few of the amenities. This lakefront property is so beautiful. They have a computer for the use... more

The owners John & June run more than a bed & breakfast it is home away from home. My family stayed at the elephants nest for the 1st time in June while on a scouting expedition as we were in the process of emigrating from the uk to Nova scotia. J&J could not have been more helpful and gave us... more
