Element Four
The ancient Scandinavian ritual of heat, cold, and rest — rebuilt on a small island in the Bay of Fundy. Two private cottages. The full spa under your roof. The whole island at your feet.
You'll arrive carrying everything you couldn't put down.
You'll leave wondering why you waited this long.
Sauna. Fire pit. Heat that softens the week off your shoulders.
Marsh. Cliffs. A trail through the bird sanctuary to a private beach.
Hot tub. Cold plunge. The Bay of Fundy doing the rest.
The sea breeze. The fog off the Bay. The silence between.
Our original Nordic spa cottage, tucked into the marsh.
Swallowtail Lighthouse framed in your loft window. The ferry coming and going from your private deck. Step outside to your hot tub and cold plunge, or unwind in the sauna during your private hours. Follow the trail through the marsh to a secluded beach. Light the fire pit at night. Sleep better than you have in months.
Our most complete Nordic spa experience — every tool of the ritual under one roof.
Hot tub overlooking the Bay of Fundy with Swallowtail Lighthouse in the distance. Cold plunge. Sauna. The indoor massage chair guests mention in one of every three reviews. Yoga and meditation areas. Outdoor screen room. Private trail through the bird sanctuary to a secluded beach. Everything is here. Nothing is missing.
I moved to Grand Manan in 2015 for the lobster fishing. The island kept me. I built Element Four to give other people what Grand Manan gave me — a real break from the world.
The fog off the Bay does most of the work. I just built spaces worthy of the island.
Superhost. Four years hosting. Responds in under an hour. If you've got a question about the cottages, the ferry schedule, or where to grab a beer after a long hike — I'm a quick message away.
Whale watching, cliffside trails, a famous hole in the wall, brewpubs in tiny harbours. The island is small enough to know in a weekend — and rich enough to keep coming back for.
"The hot tub overlooking the Bay was unreal. We watched the ferry come in at sunrise from the sauna. Already planning our return."

"The massage chair is no joke. The walk through the marsh to the beach felt like another world. Chaz is a kind, attentive host."

"Slept better than we have in months. Woke up to the lighthouse in the window and didn't want to leave. We've already booked again."
