Why they chose this property
As a repeat visitor to the area, primarily to salmon fish on the famous Margaree River, I have had the pleasure of renting a number of cottages over the past several years, including this one. When the opportunity was presented to own and share this with friends, family and other avid fisherman and those simply looking for a relaxing seaside getaway, I couldn't pass it up!
