We really enjoyed our stay! The cabins are new and everything was very clean. It was stocked with everything you need and is in a gorgeous location just minutes from the National Park. We will definitely recommend and hopefully stay again if we return.

Very clean and compact cabin. The cabins are all spaced out so you don't feel crowded. We liked the front porch and the fact that the kitchen had enough utensils to cook if we didn't go out to eat. The cabin was very quiet - set back from a not busy road and surrounded by mountains.

Excellent accommodation and amenities - everything was well organized, superbly clean, fresh and modern. Highly recommend this location to anyone. The host was very proactive and responsive to all situations - e.g. last minute trail closures, fire bans, etc. - and provided great alternate suggestions.

Perfect to explore the region
Super clean. Looks brand new. Very well maintained unit!
Awesome property on the north end of Cabot Trail!!! Cabin is small and quant, just what you would expect on the north end of the island. The owner came by to ensure we were safe and if we needed anything! We also had a great chat about the area and the points of interest for our travels tomorrow…

Our Stay in Pleasant Bay
Great clean property. Nice amount of privacy. Nice tucked away location. Spacious cabin with a comfortable sleep, nice kitchen, and bathroom.
Small but very comfortable with a great view. Nicely furnished and equipped with all the essentials for simple cooking. We enjoyed taking our pups for hikes on several different trails during our five night stay. This is way up at the northern end of the Cabot Trail, so be aware that musical and cultural tourism destinations like Mabou and Sydney require some drive time.

still waiting for my refund
They rebooked it to someone else. We were left driving around looking for a place to sleep that night! Im still waiting for my refund.
Cabin exceeded expectations. We brought steaks to bbq and we enjoyed a great night in the immaculate cabin with modern conveniences. Much thought put into everything provided
