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

J&J could not have been more helpful and gave us... more

They were very welcoming... more

We stayed at Elephant's Nest for two nights and could have easily stayed for more. Our room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast is served in the dining room -- definitely have some of June's homemade muffins. Guests are invited to the living room for a snack and lively conversation in the evening. They have three little dogs who are... more
