    Year-round Vacation Rental - Fly Fishing, Golf, Beaches, Cabot Trail & More.

    Located on the Western Coast of Cape Breton, Margaree Harbour Guest House is a fully winterized, open concept, 3-bedroom, 1-bath home that overlooks picturesque Margaree Harbour with easterly views to the Acadian village of Cheticamp & the Cape Breton Highlands. Margaree Harbour village is a leisurely 10-minute stroll, which includes the Calvin United Church, Laurence’s General Store & Post Office and, most importantly, a wonderful, sandy, underserved, beach.

    Amenities - Margaree Harbour Guest House has been equipped to allow guests to cook, entertain and relax as though they were at home. All linens and towels are high thread count and quality with spares available. Washer & dryer, microwave, stove, oven and dishwasher are all available. Proper cutlery, table and stemware are also provided. The house has wireless internet, dvd player and flat-screen TV and a BBQ on the upper deck for year-round use, located off of the kitchen.

    The Margaree is a world famous Atlantic Salmon river, with runs commencing in early June to the season’s close on October 31st. Trout season generally commences on April 15 – Sept 30th.

    Fly Fishing - If you are new to the river or Atlantic Salmon fishing, we recommend hiring a local guide to get acquainted and increase the likely hood of success. Moreover, many local outfitters can also supply all required fishing gear to their sports.

    Golf - Only 300m off the Cabot Trail, our Guest House is perfectly situated between the famed Cabot Links (30km West) and Le Portage (28km East) golf courses, while the first Atlantic Salmon holding pools, on the Mighty Margaree River, are only 8km away.

    Beaches - The Northumberland Strait & Gulf of St. Lawrence offer Canada's warmest sea waters and the warmest north of Virginia, with water temperatures exceeding 23C (74F). The Margaree Harbour Beach is a ten minute walk and the most convenient to the Guest House. Whale Cove Beach is just a shot venture 3 km to the west on the Shore Rd, while the often secluded Chimney Corner beach is also 8 km to the west. To the east, the popular Plage St. Pierre and Cheticamp Island beaches are 28km away.

    While staying at the Guest House, there are endless opportunities to pursue. Live Music, Ceilidh & Square Dancing at the Normaway Inn. whale watching tours from Cheitcamp, folk art and regional art exhibits throughout the Cabot Trail, scenic drives on the Trail and, if visiting in Autumn, the Celtic Colours Festival to name but a few.

    Disappointed
    Confusion on date of check-in @ 5pm, having to wait for a team to arrive to prepare it for us, but we’re fairly compensated for it. Three bedrooms with pull out couch in living room, but the third bedroom had wash/dryer & hot water tank in it. It had everything we needed, but could have been a lot cleaner. The views are breathtaking.

    Great Spot
    We certainly enjoyed our stay, very clean and comfortable. Three well apointed bedrooms with lots of linens in the bathroom. Kitchen was well equipped with space for two to cook and be with family for dinner. The view out to the small community of Margaree Harbor was beautiful. The evening sunsets and midnight stars unforgettable. We will definitely book again.

    Excellent stay!
    This was our 3rd time staying here and it won’t be the last! Everything was clean and comfortable and it was really easy to get in. My only criticism would be the bathroom toilet - it was a bit finicky to flush and would run if the handle wasn’t lifted back up manually. Would otherwise highly recommend this cottage! We will be back!

    Fantastic venue
    This was my 2nd time we have stayed here. The house has everything you could ask for. The beds are super comfortable, the view from the upper deck is breath taking, it is very clean and the location is perfect for beach access and fishing the Margaree River. It is also close enough to the new Cabot golf courses. I would definitely stay here again when I. One back to visit Margaree Harbour.

    Excellent base for exploring Cape Breton
    The pictures don’t do justice to the beauty of the view from the 2nd floor living area! The cottage is clean and cosy and fully equipped with everything needed to make it home away from home. Ranald the caretaker is extremely responsive and helpful. The location makes pretty much all of Cape Breton accessible and we made trips up to the National park to the north and to Louisbourg to the east.
