Stay here! Stunning property.
We stayed here two short nights and we’re already planning a trip back in the fall to see the colours on Cape Breton. The owner met us as we arrived and we proceeded to get a brief tour of the property. They have thought of everything! Comfortable, functional yet stylish - the design aesthetics are beautiful and clearly considered throughout. We loved the hot tub and outdoor shower. Beautiful sunsets. Special shoutout to Alexis who was so helpful (and hardworking)!

Fabulous stay!
My husband and I absolutely loved our three night stay at this property. The view is to die for, the grounds are perfectly maintained, and the modern accommodations are very well appointed. Everything was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The host was friendly and helpful. He had great suggestions for things to see and do. Private beach for swimming and a really nice outdoor grilling station. If we come back to Cape Breton, this is where we will stay!

Exactly what we needed
Our stay was wonderful. The place was very clean, the grounds were well kept and the path to the beach was well lit for an evening stroll. The view from the hot tub is absolutely dazzling at sunset. Would love to have had more time there, would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

The whole place is just beautiful, super comfortable and relaxing. The wood fired hot tub overlooking the ocean was perfect to relax in. It was an overall great experience.

Ridge on the Chimney
The Ridge on the Chimney was a beautiful, peaceful place to spend our week in Cape Breton. Marco, Scott, May and Karen have created an amazing retreat overlooking the Bay of St. Lawrence. The setting, accommodations, along with all of the tasteful amenities provided were more than we had hoped for! We will be back💙
