Great place with all the amenities and a great view! A great hostess, a fridge full of the essentials, quiet and peaceful. The only negative is that is not close to major attractions. But if you are spending a few days in the area.. superb! We visited Louisbourg, Baddeck (don't forget the Alex Bell museum) Skyline Trail, museum 3 Pignons- all very interesting but in different directions.

A beautiful oasis of calm

A lovely property in a gorgeous location. Very quiet - hardly any traffic noise as it is off the main road. A beautiful oasis of calm. We had a wonderful three nights here as part of a road trip and could happily have stayed much longer. The kitchen was very well stocked. Aileen was welcoming and helpful, we couldn't have asked for anything more.
