Chalet #2 Mark's Place Located on Big Island, NS along Northumberland Straight

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay! Exactly as listed and the hosts were very receptive. My only advice for visitors with longer hair would be to pack some dry shampoo as the hot water tank is quite small, so you have quick showers! Plenty of time to wash up but not a full hair wash and condition for me (not a complaint, just an observation). Have already recommended this stay to others."
