Jolly Tom's Cabin

The space

The first cabin on the hill - built by hand in the mid-1980s, and slowly rebuilt since with the comforts Tom never had: a private hot tub beside the deck, an electric fireplace for slow mornings, and a coffee bar that gets more use than anyone admits.

Two bedrooms sleep six: a queen room with a forest view, a bunk room the kids (and the dog - there’s a bed for them too) claim on arrival, and a pull-out sofa for one more pair. The open plan keeps everyone in the same conversation - farmhouse table, kitchenette with a full-size fridge, and patio doors that frame the inlet.

Evenings sort themselves out here. The porch string lights come on, the BBQ does its work, and the hot tub waits while the sun drops over Chezzetcook Inlet.
