Piper's Rest

just minutes from River John and the Trans Canada Highway

   

Minutes away from the Northumberland Strait, with the warmest water north of the Carolinas as the tide rolls in over sun-heated sandbars, Piper's Rest offers not just ideal swimming but every imaginable recreational activity. In the house and at your disposal are two bicycles, board games, badminton and also a wide range of books. Or, for an easy and delicious meal on a warm summer evening, use the gas barbecue provided to grill up some fresh seafood or some fresh vegetables. After dinner, feel free to gather round the outdoor fireplace for a campfire, and enjoy the sunset. You might even have a visit from a timid deer or two!

Comfort is assured at Piper's Rest, which is fully equipped with modern amenities, an electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker and laundry facilities. Just five minutes away you will find all the supplies you need in the quaint little town of River John, with its Co-op supermarket, liquor store and bookstore. For those with health concerns, there is also a pharmacy and doctor's office. And River John hosts an annual literary festival each July, called Read-By-The-Sea, with world-renowned authors such as Margaret Atwood and Alistair McLeod.
.
Piper's Rest is about 1.5 hours from Halifax International Airport (served internationally and nationally by Air Canada, direct flights from Germany with Condor, and direct flights from Europe with Zoom, to name just a few). Just moments from the Trans-Canada highway, Piper's Rest is also a perfect starting point for trips to the spectacular Cabot Trail on the island of Cape Breton, to the province of New Brunswick with its world-famous Bay of Fundy shoreline, and the ferry to Prince Edward Island departs several times a day from Pictou.
