Cozy and artistic barn studio near the oceanside village of St. Martins

Our newly renovated barn is a cozy sanctuary in the woods close to the incredible beaches of the Bay of Fundy. The barn studio is perfect for a couples retreat with unique and thoughtful design choices, including original artworks, vintage and antique furniture, and forest green painted floors. Wake up to the sound of songbirds and enjoy a complimentary Keurig coffee and baked good, while roaming our one acre property. At night, enjoy the quiet rural setting with opportunity for fantastic stargazing.

We are located 15 minutes from the historic seaside village of St. Martins, originally a shipbuilding community, and now a popular summer tourist destination. You can visit the famous St. Martins Sea Caves and experience some of the highest tides in the world. There are excellent dining choices in the area, including some of the best lobster rolls and fried clams in New Brunswick, a cafe with delicious local coffee and baked goods, and a new bar with craft beer, cocktails, charcuterie boards, and oysters.

St. Martins is also the gateway to the Fundy Trail Parkway, which boasts incredible views and is a great hiking destination. It is also one driving route to get to Fundy National Park, which is an hour and 10 minutes from where you'll be staying.

We are also located 15 minutes from several outstanding secluded ocean beaches, as well as lakes with public beaches for swimming on hot days. We are 30 minutes from Saint John, the oldest incorporated city in Canada, where you will find an incredibly well preserved historic uptown, excellent dining options and nightlife, as well as a chance to view the world famous Reversing Falls. There is an abundance of activities in the area, and we will be happy to provide guests with a list of suggestions for hiking, dining, and sightseeing.

Things to note:

The barn is a separate structure on our property that is approximately 30 feet from our main house. We are an artist couple who work from home. One of our studios is in a converted garage approximately 20 feet from the barn. We are a very quiet couple and expect the same from our guests. The barn is located about 150 feet from Route 111, which is the main road that leads to St. Martins. It can be busy in the summer, but gets very quiet at night.

The hot water in the barn is from a 20 gallon tank, so hot water will last for two short showers at approximately 5 minutes each. Our house is rural, so we use a septic system, which means no non-septic safe material can be flushed or put down any drain. The only toilet paper to be flushed is the paper we provide. The barn's water is our well water that we use for bathing and brushing teeth, but we do not drink it. We will supply two liters of drinkable water per stay, and guests are responsible to bring their own water.
