“Absolutely Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

In March 2011 Myself, my boyfriend and two friends stayed in Chalet #7 at the very end by the river. It was absolutely gorgeous. The Chalet was beautiful and very spacious, and in the morning it was amazing to sit at the dining room table and look out over the river while eating breakfast. I cannot wait to go back! Everything was perfect. This place is definitely a hidden gem that I am so glad that I found! Thanks for the great time and we will be back within the next few months!

We stayed in one of the cabins and loved the location.The place is so peaceful and the owners so helpful. You need a car to get here as it is remote. Restaurant is good as well

“Fantastic place - centrally located and so relaxing with nature!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2011

Stayed a week - totally loved it. We took the small chalet/cabin and the view of the river from the deck was awesome. Kitchen was minimal but really all you need to cook a few meals easily with a BBQ. layout was great. Plenty of walking trails in the area. Free canoes/kayakiing. Friendly staff. Clean. Only thing I would mention is that for shorter people like myself or children you may want a stool for the tiolet so you feet don't dangle...it is accessible but as a result a little higher than more tiolets. Very relaxing spot.

Room Tip: Handicapped accessible close to great nature spots

Thanks so much for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you did enjoy your stay with us.
I also would like to thank you for your tip regarding the raised toilet seats, which are certainly challenging for children and shorter people.

“Hidden Gem! This place is amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2010

This was our second year at Mersey River Chalets and we absolutely love it and can't wait to go back in Sept/Oct. It is an amazing outdoor getaway with all the amenities. They have canoes, kayaks, swimming, basketball, tennis, a beautiful boardwalk and a restaurant. Kejimkujik National Park is also only 5 kms away. The staff are lovely, I really can't say enough about how wonderful they are.

We stayed at one of the large chalets for 2 nights. These chalets are perfect! They have everything you need: dishes, appliances, towels, firewood, woodstove, 2 bedrooms and a beautiful front porch overlooking the Mersey River. It's all the outdoor adventure you need with a cozy place to sleep :)

The kayaks and canoes are there for unlimited use and no extra charge. The lake and river make a beautiful canoe/kayak trip where you can see all kinds of birds, turtles and other wildlife. The property is tranquill and our stay there was so relaxing - exactly what the 2 of us needed with our busy schedules.

We did a ton of kayaking/canoeing and relaxing at the Mersey River. We went to Keji for an afternoon to do a longer kayak adventure.

I would STRONGLY recommend this place to anyone, it is pet friendly, wheelchair accessible (the WHOLE place!) and a great place to bring kids. It truly is a hidden gem in our beautiful province, we intend to go several times a year since it is open all year round.

As a sidenote: they have a cat that lives there, she is 12 years old and her name is Magic. She is sweet and may come to visit you :) As cat lovers, we quite enjoy her company while we are in Mersey River!!

“Great Location and Free Kayaks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2009

Stayed for 3 nights at Mersey River Chalets in a Lodge room. Very pleasant room and in a great location for the Kejimkujic National Park. The best thing about it is the free kayaks onsite. We had a fantastic full day exploring the lakes and creeks around the site. Beautiful. The restaurant isn't open outside July/August, but glad it wasn't as we may not otherwise have discovered the M&W Restaurant and Convenience Store just near the entrance to the Park. The owner, Marilyn, cooks, waits on table, serves in the store and is so kind and funny we immediately felt like part of the family. The food is very good too - nothing fancy but good, home cooked fish and chips, burgers etc. And lovely cakes!
