Darlings Island, NB | Retreat | Solitude
A PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH
Formerly the parsonage of a prominent Saint John minister, this remarkable 9.88-acre property is a true piece of heaven on earth, nestled at the very tip of beautiful Darlings Island between Quispamsis and Hampton, New Brunswick.
Acquired by V-Kol Media Ministries in 2021, the property has undergone significant development.
Today, it serves as a peaceful place of refuge where pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders can step away from the demands of ministry to rest, refresh, reconnect with the Lord, and return strengthened for the work He has called them to.
Peruse the photo gallery above for a montage of images from this peaceful property and area.
