Canada at its purest – that is the Johns Back Lake in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia. In close proximity to Kejimkujik National Park and Tobeatic Wildlife Game Park, experience untouched nature amidst a spectacular lake and woodland setting. Here, you can rent this very exclusive Canadian-style log house. Each piece of wood has been carefully chosen from suitable trees, cut down, stored and dried, transported to the location, hand-peeled, precision-cut to size and then placed together to create the desired effect, an old traditional method which gives this home its unique character. A masterpiece of log cabin design.
