Sunrise Cottage: 1-bedroom cabin with hot tub in Balmoral Mills

Escape to Field & Fern Cottages — a cozy, fully winterized tiny cottage for two, nestled beside a peaceful brook. This private retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, featuring a comfortable queen bed, kitchenette, mini fridge, coffee bar, heat pump, BBQ, fire pit, hammock, and a covered veranda for relaxing outdoors in any weather. Guests also enjoy their own detached private washroom with a composting toilet and hot shower, plus access to the property’s year-round hot tub.

If you love the atmosphere of camping but prefer a real bed, heat, and hot showers, Field & Fern is for you. This tiny, one-room cottage delivers a true nature escape while keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Evenings are especially magical—sit by your private fire, listen to the brook, stargaze, curl up in the hammock, or unwind in the shared hot tub overlooking the river.

Wake to birdsong, sip your morning coffee on the veranda, and enjoy 15 fenced acres of open countryside—perfect for roaming, relaxing, and bringing your dog along (with pet fee). Outdoor adventurers will love nearby hiking, biking, skiing, snowmobiling, ATV trails, horseback riding, waterfalls, fishing, and beautiful waterways within walking distance.

We’re conveniently located just 12 minutes from Tatamagouche, where you’ll find beaches, Tatamagouche Brewery, restaurants, cafés, boutiques, groceries, NSLC, and more. Skiers will love being only 25 minutes from Ski Wentworth.
