I didn’t actually have any contact with the property manager due to being offsite pretty much all day and gone early in the morning. Check in was super easy and just showed up at the site. I didn’t get to explore the property due to the fire ban and restrictions on accessing the woods. View just down the road from the site was spectacular and would recommend driving down before the end of your stay. RV was clean. A bit tight, but that is to be expected. Suited my own needs quite well. If there hadn’t been a fire ban, I think I would have gotten much more out of the stay.

Loved the location ( next to a river!) and also loved the experience of ‘glam ping’, staying in an RV during a rainstorm was fun and cozy! We also loved going to Aucoin bakery for breakfast… quite honestly, the best bakery I’ve ever been to! Was a great stay! Thank you so much and will definitely be back again, for longer next time!

Great location and nice trailer

It was nice to have a quote camp-type of spot to stay while touring Cape Breton. It was very peaceful and the trailer had everything we needed.

Location! Location! Location! There aren't many rentals available in this area so I felt lucky to find this. It's an older RV with aging seating - not good for folks like me with back issues. The unit wasn't properly cleaned between rentals - I wasn't willing to use the fridge due to the amount of food debris, and all glass and mirrored surfaces were dirty.

Clean and tidy, but I saw three small inserts on the floor besides the power outlets of the bed. It’s scared me.

To be honest, we had a little trouble finding the camper. I think that was VRBO's fault though, and the fact that our US sat/nav wasn't working in Canada. But we did find it. The camper is very nice and clean, with everything that we needed for a pleasant stay. It was very nice to find that the owner of the property lives right next door, and when we needed a reboot of our breakers, he was right there to fix it immediately. All in all, a very pleasant experience!! Wish it had been the summer so we could have used those kayaks I read about, but 40 degrees F was a bit cold for my blood.

Road trip

There was a little confusion on check in but was the only a glitch in the trip Kayaks are a must ! The river is amazing and we could have spent all day out there taking in the scenery.Eagles have a nest there and was awesome to see. The trailer was great and all we needed. Everything we could have needed was there , even coffee pods and lots of salmon to be caught in the river Restaurants very close by and a great little bakery.

Hier handelt es sich um einen Trailer auf einem Campingplatz, welcher mit allem ausgestattet ist was man benötigt. Sogar mit einem Grill. Ruhige Lage.
