About this property

Escape to nature and indulge in a truly unique experience at this unforgettable vacation home. Nestled on the tranquil banks of the Little Bouctouche River, surrounded by expansive hay fields, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers all the amenities you need for a delightful stay.

Inside the home, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, allowing you to prepare your favorite meals with ease. The three-piece bathroom features a refreshing shower, along with thoughtful additions like a hairdryer/straightener, cozy robes, and plush towels. The bedroom is furnished with a comfortable queen-size bed, a picture frame TV for your entertainment, a convenient sink, and ample cupboard space to store your belongings. And don't forget to take advantage of the hot tub and WiFi, perfect for unwinding and staying connected.

Despite its modest size of 320 square feet, this home provides a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Situated on 38 acres of picturesque hay fields, with scattered trees and a charming stream meandering through the property, you'll be surrounded by the beauty of nature. When visiting the beach, we highly recommend wearing beach shoes due to the abundance of seashells. The Little Bouctouche River offers a multitude of activities throughout the seasons, including paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing/ice fishing, tubing, skating, and of course, swimming. The property also allows for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, and its convenient location on the NB Snowmobile trail ensures easy access during the winter months. Feel free to inquire about the availability of sporting goods such as paddleboards, life jackets, snowshoes, tubes, ice fishing equipment, and ice safety gear.

Nearby towns are just a quick drive away, with Bouctouche being the nearest. In Bouctouche, you'll find a variety of amenities to enhance your stay, including a wide selection of restaurants, convenient gas stations, captivating tourist sites, a well-stocked grocery store, pharmacies, NBLiquor, and a vibrant farmers market during the summer months. There's plenty to explore and enjoy in this charming town and its surroundings.

Just Perfect!!!

This spot was a layover for my husband and me while traveling to Nova Scotia. We took a chance on an unconventional looking rental, and are so glad that we did! This set the bar very high for the remaining places that we stayed (which for the most part, did not compare!), and even with the weather less than perfect, we still enjoyed every moment of our stay! So modern, clean, welcoming, and peaceful! We had fun exploring the area and ended our day paddle boating on the river and then soaking in the hot tub! Perfect start to our vacation. Thank you again Melissa and Luc, you are superb hosts!

Steel Haven is a GEM!

Initially, I was just looking to book a spot for a couple nights while my husband and I explored the Buctouche area. Rather than just “settling” for a typical motel room, I decided to look at Vrbo. This listing caught my attention immediately and I looked no further. It is amazing! So well located for both privacy and nearness to amenities. Super clean! (SO CLEAN!). Very well equipped with the hosts going over and above to ensure everything you could need was available. Wish we had booked a longer stay as this property is not just a place to lay your head while enjoying the area, it is a destination itself. Book it! You will not be disappointed. Thank you so very much for sharing this unique haven with us! For our first vrbo experience, this one has set the bar very high :-)
