Bell Sheep Homestead

Really lovely. Well-appointed. Comfortable bed, usable kitchen (knives were sharp!). It rained, so the deck furniture was wet, didn't use that. Quiet. Bikes to borrow, though we didn't use them. Location is ideal for Gooseberry Falls. I'd definitely go back, would definitely recommend.

4/11/22 Found this place accidentally while looking for places along the North Shore Drive. We stayed here for 2 nights at the Temperance Room. It is really cozy and the decor inside is cute. The little fireplace was nice. In terms of location, it fit perfectly with our plans. Located very close to the Split rock lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls State Parks. We also liked that you can just go to your room without seeing anyone (and leave the same way). They had some cool dvds as well. We never got to use the fire-pit as we either arrived late, it was too cold, or was too tired from the day-hikes. Small negatives - the room is smaller than what it looks like on the website, the shower space is REALLY small, maybe a little overpriced for the facilities it offers (compared to hotel-chains and other places that offers free morning breakfast, pools, spas and such), the pillows were flat and not fluffy. Overall a great experience and will come back again :)

We had a wonderful time here, even with rain and fog. The property is beautiful. We stayed in the Temperance River Room. Cozy, has a gas fire place, a fan if you need outdoor air. TV and DVD player (it is not a blue ray, keep that in mind). Small fridge with freezer. Microwave, coffee maker, toaster. Some dishes(mugs, plates, bowls, utensils). What we did not expect was it did have a single burner and a couple pans to cook if wanted. Because of rain we did not use the private fire pit, but its a beautiful area with lights in trees. Seating and a hammock. Honestly we already miss being there. Wish we had a couple more days to enjoy. Bell Sheep is super close to Gooseberry, Iona Beach and other outdoor nature places. You could drive a half hour more north and hit so many fantastic spots.

This place is amazing. The rooms so cheap compared to all of the other hotels and lodging along the north shore. Plus, there’s all sorts of amenities: fire pits, hammocks, a swing, and even a play house and sand pit! You can also rent bikes there. The rooms are very clean, and have a lot of extra things, such as tea, dishes, a hair dryer, board games, and much more. Plus it’s close to a lot of great places like Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls State Park. Absolutely going to stay here again on my next trip to the north shore.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a great location. It was very clean and cheerful. And we liked all the little touches that made it feel relaxing and cozy. Having a coffee pot, tea kettle, microwave, fridge, etc made it easy to make breakfast and prepare simple meals. However, this place would not be for everyone. There was no AC, just fans. We stayed in the Temperance River room. The bathroom was large enough, but the shower might be small for some people.

The owners Nick and Danielle are absolutely the BEST host and hostess you will ever meet!!! They anticipate your every need and make you feel like one of the family from the moment you arrive! The rooms are all super clean and cozy with each one unique!! Bike rentals in summer, snow shoes and cross country skiing rentals are an awesome bonus! This is the only place on the North shore we will ever stay again!! Absolutely LOVE it!

My husband and I returned to Bell Sheep after a previous stay several years ago because of the great location. We were joined by my sister and her husband, and we spent two nights in the two-bedroom Tettagouche room. It was so comfortable. It has an amazing vintage decor but yet all appliances are modern. The room is well-stocked with anything you can imagine (my husband was happily surprised to find tea!) Every appliance is offered. The beds were comfy, the comforters warm, and the quality of the towels was amazing. Even the fans were impressive. We are usually tent campers, but this may be our new go-to in Gooseberry. It rained and off over our two-day stay and we were certainly happy to stay dry. We had a nice fire the first night and even the firepit was stocked with wood, kindle and firestarters. Finally, nothing beats a 4 minute drive to hike the Gooseberry trails. I can't give this place enough stars!!! I highly recommend Bell Sheep. Mary

We just got home from our stay up north and I was so excited to write a review for this amazing place. We loved bell sheep homestead so much that we plan to go back every summer at least once. The owners are so kind and really helpful. The best part was how cute and clean the room was, we stayed in the Gooseberry room and loved it. Perfect vacation. Thank you so much Nick and Danielle. :)
