"Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Great views and a really solid breakfast with cereals, oatmeal, eggs, bread, yogurt, hash browns, and turkey bacon (which I personally prefer).
Staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
Laundry room could use some updating, and pool was closed.
Property was well maintained and it was a very calming stay."
Writer’s Retreat. Secluded Waterfront Bras d’Or Lake, Cape Breton
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful one week stay in July. The home is stocked with everything you could need, plus lots of labeled extra supplies. I found the home very clean and very organized, which I love. Saw many fox and deer right out front and back, which was such a treat. Its a pleasant stroll down to the lake, and a nice long shore to walk on (rocky, for those with mobility issues). St. Peter's is the closest small town (20 min) which has some of the necessities. Walking or biking along the historic locks there, and the adjoining Coastal Trail, is a pleasant local activity. The home is a great place to relax and unwind. It is about 1.5 hours from the start of the Cabot Trail, which itself is hours long. Just something to note if that is your primary reason for visiting Cape Breton. My favorite spots on my trip was the Groovy Goat Farm on the Cabot Trail, and Donelda's Puffin boat tour."
Veronica’s Place - Brand new, roomy cottage on the Bras D'Or Lakes
10/10 Excellent
"Veronica's Place was a beautifully appointed cabin in Cape Breton. It had full cell and Internet coverage. The surrounding roads were easy to travel, access to provisions nearby and the Bird Island Boat Tour made for a lovely side activity. Our host was very welcoming and accommodating. I would highly recommend this holiday location."
Dome 5 · Luxury Lakeside Dome Experience Private Hot Tub
10/10 Excellent
"It was everything we were looking for. Quite, great scenery. The dome was clean and was equipped with anything you would need or want...except tea. Lots of coffee but no tea. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. "
"This place is perfect for groups of all ages with lots to do, an abundance of beautiful views, gathering spaces and quiet places.The accessibility to the Bras D'Or Lake is wonderful even our 88 yr old father could drive down to the beach area and take in the beauty! The home has many thoughtful games, books and finishing touches to make the place ideal for a gathering. We loved the large table our big family could gather around. The teens loved the pool table and dart board and the seniors in our group enjoyed the accessibility of the main floor area (large rooms, walk in shower etc). The kitchen was very functional and well equipped. We really enjoyed these exceptional homes and would come back in a heart beat! "

"The Lakeside Dome is a perfect spot for a quiet getaway. We enjoyed the view of the lake and it was very close to the Dundee resort where we were attending a wedding. A nice retreat."
