Yes! We do allow one dog/ booking in 4 of cabins. The Hemlock is our pet/dog FREE cabin. We do have a nightly charge of $25/ dog per night. This fee includes a dog bed, dog treat and the extra cleaning fee. Dogs must remain on a leash at all times when outside of the cabin, and the dog should not be left alone in the cabin at any time, unless crated.

Please remember that these are small 320s q cabins and very cozy with a lot of people and dogs.
Are you Kid Friendly?
Yes! We are a family friendly destination! As a family, we encourage you to get outside and explore the Park together and enjoy the nearby playgrounds and outdoor rinks. Truro is a wonderful family destination. We suggest the Maple, Aspen Cabins, and Birch Yurt as family friendly options. Please note that hot tubs are not recommended for children under the age of 16.
Do all cabins and yurts have a hot tub?
Yes! All cabins have eco-hot tubs (Spruce, Aspen, Hemlock, Maple & Balsam). The yurts DO NOT have hot tubs. Our eco-tubs are the first of their kind in the Maritimes, as they use 90% less chemicals than a regular hot tub! Get ready to relax after a day of adventuring! Please note, at the time of booking, hot tub rules are confirmed with your booking and the full rules must be read before getting inside.
What is the minimum night stay for the accommodations?
All cabins with a hot tub requires a minimum of a 2 night stay (Spruce, Aspen, Hemlock, Maple & Balsam Fir) on weekends and peak seasons. Sunday-Thursday are available for single night stays.
