Milford House
Nova Scotia’s Longest Running Family Oriented Wilderness Resort.
Two crystal-clear lakes anchor this remarkable property, where 28 rustic cabins dot the shoreline, each offering the simple luxury of a covered verandah, a crackling wood fireplace, and a private dock steps from the water's edge. It's a place where time slows down and the distractions of daily life fade into the whisper of wind through the pines.
The Milford House experience is one of gentle adventure and quiet contemplation. Paddle a canoe across glassy morning waters as mist rises from the lake, cast a line for bass or perch from your private dock, or explore kilometres of woodland trails that wind through the surrounding Acadian forest. Children discover the joy of swimming in fresh, clean water, building sandcastles on tiny beaches, and catching fireflies at dusk—the same simple pleasures that have created lasting family memories here for generations. A tennis court and playground offer additional diversions, though many guests find the greatest entertainment in simply watching loons dive and listening to their haunting calls echo across the lake.
From May through October, the resort buzzes with seasonal guests who return year after year, their children and grandchildren continuing traditions that span decades. Three winterized cabins extend the magic through the quieter months, when snow blankets the forest and the frozen lakes offer a different kind of beauty. The licensed dining room brings guests together over hearty meals, while the pet-friendly policy ensures that four-legged family members can share in the wilderness experience. At Milford House, the recipe hasn't changed: pristine nature, comfortable simplicity, and the warm hospitality that keeps families coming back generation after generation.
