Snowmobiler’s Paradise at Highland Haven – Steps from the Trail!

Welcome to Highland Haven, your cozy mountain getaway at the base of the Cape Breton Highlands! Located on a quiet road that leads directly to the snowmobile trail system, you can ride straight from the property and connect to miles of groomed routes throughout the Highlands National Park.

This comfortable retreat sits on a quarter-acre property surrounded by breathtaking scenery and is less than a 5-minute drive to the park entrance, the Gypsum Mine Trail, Aucoin’s Bakery, and all the charm of Cheticamp. After a day on the trails, unwind in the warmth of this peaceful haven.

Plenty of parking for trucks and trailers, easy access to the Cabot Trail, and a DOG FRIENDLY policy make Highland Haven ideal for snowmobile adventures, winter escapes, and year-round exploration.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely vacation rental. The property is private and quiet, making it the perfect retreat for relaxation. The living space is large, modern, and incredibly comfortable—ideal for both lounging and entertaining. Every detail of the home is charming and well-appointed, showing real care in its design and upkeep. The air conditioning is also very efficient, keeping the entire space cool and comfortable even on the hottest days. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and stylish getaway!
