Our Facilities

We have 28 Rustic Lakeside Cabins in beautiful Southwest Nova Scotia just waiting for you, along with good old fashioned country cooking in the dining room. Kilometers of water ways and trails to explore and plenty of nearby towns to visit such as Annapolis Royal, Bear River and Digby you may need more than a week to see all the sights.

THE LODGE

 Milford House is a large gabled, white Victorian-style   building with green trim and a large covered front porch   and screened deck overlooking the lake and a large   back  lawn. This comfortable lodge is the focal point for   our twenty-eight rustic cabins on the shores of Boot and   Geier lakes. The lodge was built in 2000-2001, and   rebuilt   after the fire of 2014, with loving attention to   detail replicating the original building. The interior architectural style and decor recreate the home of a well-to-do 19th century landowner. The lodge and dining room are fully wheelchair accessible, as well some of our cabins have wheelchair ramps, but don’t have a full range of handicapped equipment.

 

RECEPTION AREA & PARLOURS

 

 The main doors off the large front verandah lead directly     into an open and airy reception area. The main parlour is   an inviting and popular meeting place before and after   meals. A 1920’s slate fireplace, which opens on either side,   separates this formal parlour from a more casual living   room off the well-stocked library.
 Part of the fund raising campaign for the new lodge was a   new concept of having various rooms named after those   who made substantial donations to our rebuilding project.
Our reception area is named after the renowned Dr. Eddie Breck, and the casual living room is named after long term guests, Richard and Melda Murray

PLAYROOM & GAMES CUPBOARD

A children’s playroom is located just off the reception area. This is a convenient place for youngsters to play while waiting for their meals to be served. A large chalkboard is popular for our budding young artists. Check out the Games Cupboard. We have a variety games, puzzles, cards, chess and checkers boards. A basketball, tennis racquets and balls, and other items may also be borrowed daily.
The Playroom is still available for a naming opportunity. Contact krista@milfordhouse.ca for more information.

THE GRANNIE GRACE DINING ROOM

The dining room is comfortable and spacious, surrounded on three sides by windows. A set of French doors open onto the screened-in porch area — a wonderful spot to enjoy the morning paper, an after dinner coffee and dessert or a relaxing read with a good book from our extensive library.

LIBRARY

  Our extensive library has a wide selection of books on         natural history, botany, local genealogical history and   other reference books on many subjects. You will find the   ever popular who-done-it section and a great supply of   books for young readers — including many classics. All the   books have been donated by guests.  Help yourself. You   are bound to find something to borrow while relaxing in   the lodge or back at your cottage.

The Library is also still available for a naming opportunity. Contact krista@milfordhouse.ca for more information.

OUR CONFERENCE ROOM

  A conference room on the second floor is available for     professional or business groups. Special Group Rates   are  available if you wish to book accommodations and   then conduct your meetings in the conference room or   main dining area. The conference room can   accommodate groups up to fifty people. The dining   room  can double as a meeting area for larger groups.   Bookings are available from late-Spring to mid-October.
