Fantastic Getaway!

This was one of the very best cottages we have ever visited!! The views from both the cottage and the beach were gorgeous. The cottage was extremely well stocked with everything we could possibly need to make for a relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stay. This included everything you could possibly need to cook for a family in the kitchen, cozy blankets for the couch, binoculars, even a couple of guitars!! We especially loved the vintage record player and collection of albums to peruse. The book and dvd shelf was well stocked for all ages, even had our childhood favourite “Barnyard Dance”. There was one minor issue with a heat pump, and the hosts were immediately responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this stay, and we hope to return one day soon.

Beautiful waterside property

The property is absolutely stunning with a lovely little gravel/stone beach at the bottom. Kayaking and swimming in front of the property was amazing. The house is well equipped with everything you would need for your stay, rain or shine. I would most definitely stay again in future.

Quiet Solitude

This quiet property was everything the listing said. It had everything you would need plus more, Keurig and coffee pot, pods and coffee provided, pantry items, all you needed to bring were your groceries. The view of the water was absolutely gorgeous. We bought fresh seafood, lobster, snow crab and cod cheeks from BST Lobster sales and ate in every night. The sauna was amazing and there were even essential oils which were a nice surprise. The bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner body wash and soap.There was a PS4 with lots of games, a games closet full of games and a book shelf full of books and dvds for rainy days. The small private beach is small rocks and we had a great time enjoying the beach. Lori was very quick with communication. We only used the main bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. Lots of extra blankets provided. The closest town was Port Hawkesbury,15 mins, on your way to the Property and it had everything you needed groceries, pharmacies, restaurants, gas stations, Walmart. We definitely recommend this property!

Oceanfront Hammock Experience

The house and yard are beautiful, and the beach is amazing. We would have been happy spending the entire time one place or the other - but to have it all together was priceless. Sunrise, sunset, any time of day, there is no bad view. And if you ever get tired of the sights, just put on a record, close your eyes, and enjoy.

Where to stay in Cape Breton

This is a wonderful house. Only issue was we never wanted to leave. The view from the deck is breathtaking. Then walk down to the beach, light a fire as the sun sets. The house is well equipped, and not in a fussy way. We never met the owners although I think we shared a kinship. This is a “Can’t miss spot “ in Cape Breton.

Great Property!

Property description is accurate. We enjoyed our week and particularly the sauna! Nice property, very well kept. Close enough to shopping yet far enough away to enjoy the outdoors, birds, and the privacy. Wouldn't hesitate returning for yet another week, probably longer.

Perfect family getaway

We selected this vacation home for its location, amenities, and prior customer reviews and we were more than satisfied with our 13–day stay in this lovely home. We enjoyed kayaking and relaxing on the large deck with incredible views. We even spotted porpoises! We explored Point Michaud beach, Baddeck, Louisbourg, St. Peter’s, Judique, and the Highlands Park. Nova Scotia is a beautiful province. We left a day early to avoid Hurricane Lee and hope the wind and storm damage to this area is minimal.

Nova Scotia week

Immediately we were taken by the spectacular view…. Almost magical. The house was very clean and comfortable and high end materials were used throughout. Be prepared to travel a distance to see sights, but it was worth it. We had torrential rains at one point, but we felt safe because of the all house generator. We highly recommend this property because of the location and amenities and the friendly correspondence with the owner.

Much needed getaway

The home was spectacular. Gorgeous views and home was spacious and very clean. We extended another day because we loved it that much but unfortunately we needed to leave. Would return in a second! We met one of the owners in person and he was a pleasure to meet and chat with. We all highly recommend this place!

VERY NICE PLACE

This is a very nice place to stay. The house is spacious, clean, well maintained, lots of windows with a lot of natural light, all the comforts of home. The view from throughout the house is spectacular. Good location for day trips to other parts of the island. The annual celebration of Celtic Colours was in full force with a host of activities from which to choose. Host was easy to communicate with and easy going to deal with. Great Stay. Marvin & Sharon

Beautiful Home with a Killer View

We have been blessed to stay in many wonderful lodgings throughout the US and Canada. This one ranks right up there in our top three. The house is beautiful, clean, and just as pictured. But the property is the show-stopper - it is spectacular. We enjoyed the direct access to the beach (where we found several pieces of sea glass) and using the kayaks. With a family of four, I was glad to see that one of the kayaks was a double, so our entire family could go kayaking together. If you are even thinking about this property, you should book it. You will not be disappointed.

Paradise Found

I can’t say enough about this beauty on Cape Breton Island, the views, the property is stunning. It is so quiet and peaceful, our only regret we didn’t stay longer! Lori was always available to answer questions, she was wonderful to deal with. The cottage has everything you could possibly need. Our daughter and grandchildren, 2 & 5, joined us part way through the week. Our private beach was perfect for them. The lake is wonderful to kayak on, there are 3 kayaks available and life jackets of all sizes. To sit on the deck at night with accent lights throughout the grounds on the property, hearing the call of the loons, it couldn’t get any better. Having a sauna was an extra bonus, nice to warm up after a swim. We will definitely be back, we have travelled a lot and rented homes, this one is one of our favourites by far. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying themselves, it was hard to leave.

A little slice of heaven in Cape Breton!

We stayed here for a week with our 4 year old and 1 year old. The cottage was absolutely wonderful with beautiful views of the ocean and every convenience you can imagine. Our kiddos loved searching the beach for sea glass and driftwood. They found lots of little treasures and were fascinated by the way the tide changed each day. The cottage had so many conveniences that we didn’t expect but appreciated so much - all the dishes and cookware you could possibly need, charging stations in each room, tons of books and movies, board games, and Netflix - which was great for movie nights with our 4 year old. Lori was wonderful to deal with, sending us messages to check in and make sure we had everything we needed. Anytime we messaged her with a question, she responded quickly. We highly recommend this little slice of heaven in Cape Breton!

Very quiet and secluded

This is a lovely property , 2 km on an unpaved road, 25 minutes from Port Hawkesbury, where there is Sobeys and a Superstore. It has a full well equipped kitchen and very good wifi, cellular coverage unreliable, like most rural areas. We enjoyed visiting Isle Madame, which is very close. It’s over an hour from Baddeck.
