You have not lived until you have walked out at low tide on the Bay of Fundy and walked back in with the rising tide. Four Seasons is a hidden gem and I hesitate to review it as I fear they will be booked up the next time I want to visit. Hidden along the Bay of Fundy in Upper Economy, it is a relaxing family get away. Cute, quaint, fully equipped cottages are all nicely positioned along the bay with beautiful views of the World's highest tides. A great place for family get togethers or romantic get-aways. I look forward to another visit in the future.

My husband and I stayed here two years ago and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and came back this year for the Labor day long weekend. It exceeds everything we could want with the service, the view, the bass fishing (even though we didn't catch a keeper) and the privacy (we were in the guest house this time). The cottage and grounds are immaculate and it is so peaceful and serene we hate to leave. I am actually in the process of booking one again for a girls weekend. The staff are so friendly and helpful and yet leave you alone to enjoy yourselves but are there if you need anything. In our opinion you couldn't stay anywhere more beautiful!!! Also great that it is pet friendly. We are definitely hooked and will be back many more times. The pool and hot tub are a bonus even though we were too busy fishing to enjoy them this trip.

While the Bay of Fundy and it's incredible tides are a 10, the cabins are no more than a 2.

The 1 bedroom cabin rate is definitely not worth what they charge. I speak from experience traveling throughout the eastern provinces as well as the rest of Canada and the US, so I am fully aware of the the continents various demographics and the associated standards/prices. The cabins are very closely situated so be prepared to hear your neighbors barking dogs, loud conversations both inside their cabins and outside around their rented outdoor fire pits until the wee hours. Unless you want to get up in the middle of the night, since there are no telephones or lines to the office, and walk to the office which is unmanned at night, close all your windows and swelter instead - no air conditioning units. The only ceiling fan was covered in an inch of dust and I dared not to turn it on.
The cabin was supposed to be fully functional. It was not. Coffee machine ($10 at walmart) but no filters. Furniture was cheap and outdated and mismatched. Flooring, fixtures and lighting were same. The lighting was so dim at nite particularly in the bathroom and perhaps even questionable as per building codes. No bathtub - only very narrow shower stall with a small nozelled shower head. Two lumpy pillows allowed per 1 bdrm. cabin. Two bath towels per one bedroom cabin only with no linen service. Signage throughout cabin justifying their non-existent housekeeping policies, ie, no towel service due to "saving the earth", "no housekeeping services and guests must wash own dishes upon departure in order to keep cabin rates low." If someone drops by to visit you during the day there is a $5.00 visit charge! I felt like I was being nickle and dimed to death every time I turned around. Im surprised they didnt charge me for viewing the tides.

At over $120.00 per night for all of the above,I will stay next time on the Bay of Fundy up the highway at lovely century old mansion or one of a few well serviced Inns available. Perhaps even a campground for that matter!!

Love the maritimes and love the Bay of Fundy but not the Four Seasons Retreat (???!!).

My husband and I stayed at this "Retreat" for a week in August.  The location is superb - a great spot for watching the amazing Bay of Fundy tides.  The beach is great for exploring - especially when the tide is out. however the access to the beach is difficult and not easy to find.  The stairs were broken and roped off.  The cabins are VERY basic but comfortable.  If you are a medium to large sized adult male you will find the shower extremely small .If you want complete privacy you won't find it here.  The cabins are quite close to each other. We were kept "entertained" one evening by the couple next door - (on their honeymoon perhaps?)The staff we met were friendly and efficient.   The cabins was very clean when we arrived.
