Riverfront Cabin Durham

Escape to the West River Chalet, a newly constructed three-bedroom cabin that promises a retreat like no other. Picture yourself sipping morning coffee under a towering hemlock tree, overlooking the serene West River of Pictou. Watch bald eagles gracefully glide to their nests from the riverbank deck or unwind in the hot tub while enjoying the simplicity of a propane firepit on the deck.

The cabin’s open-concept great room is bathed in natural light, with a full wall of windows providing breathtaking river views. Two bedrooms on the main level, a full bathroom, and laundry facilities ensure convenience, while the principal bedroom upstairs boasts an ensuite with a shower.

Step onto the wrap-around deck to discover a propane firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs, a hot tub, and a barbecue. Descend the staircase to the river’s edge, where an ecological viewing deck awaits. Launch a kayak or canoe from the floating dock and explore the tidal river, keeping an eye out for wildlife, from deer and turtles to seals and breaching fish.
