A great stay at this cozy cottage

We loved warming up by the wood fire after our days skiing at Cape Smokey. The view of the ocean was lovely. It was nice to have the kitchen for cooking our own evening meals. Wifi worked well.

The cabin we stayed at was private with beautiful views of the ocean. We enjoyed watching the seals in the morning and evening at our own overlook with coffee or wine. The host, Ton, was friendly, welcoming and makes a great pannenkoeken for breakfast if you choose to eat at his restaurant. Overall a great start to our vacation and a good base for exploring Cape Breton.

Sunrises and Hiking

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sleeping Moose cabin. Ton was an excellent host and having his restaurant on site was a fantastic addition to our trip. The Pannekoek is delicious!! The cabin had all the basics we needed and the view and the sound of the waves was incredibly relaxing. It’s a great jumping off place for exploring Highland National Park and a great place to relax after a long day on the trails. Thanks Ton!

Rugged & Remote Cape Breton

The week we stayed at the Sleeping Moose was extremely hot however Ton provided 2 fans which made it somewhat more livable. If you’re planning a visit, don’t forget insect repellent! The Cabot Trail is truly beautiful & Ton’s restaurant, The Dancing Moose was great.

Ideal CB Getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night break at the Sleeping Moose. Cabin was ideal for our needs, adequately equipped, very comfortable beds and lovely location with super view out to the ocean - picnic table ideally placed for this also. The Dancing Moose cafe serves great food as well. All in all certainly recommend a stay here.

HIghly recommended!

Very comfortable and clean cabin with cozy atmosphere. Kitchen facilities were great, bed was super comfortable, living room area very nice. Lovely to be close to Atlantic ocean and beautiful sunrises. Tasty breakfasts and lunches at the nearby Dancing Moose Cafe. A little bit of a haul over Smoky Mt. to reach Inverness & Cape Breton Highlands National Park, but it's a stunning ride overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Perfect Stay

Easy process booking! We were running behind schedule in our 15 hour trek to Cape Breton. Ton was super accommodating. The location is perfect for what we wanted. The property was gorgeous and Ton makes amazing Dutch pancakes. A super week in such a beautiful place. We will be back.

Great place to stay!

This is a very nice place to stay with everything you could need. We loved the short walk to the ocean every morning to watch the sunrise. We even saw seals almost everyday. Tom was a wonderful host and a great cook. He even helped us out with our flat tire. There were 4 adults staying in this house and it never felt crowded. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone that is interested in exploring Cape Brenton National Park. Thank you Tom for everything!

Wunderschöne Hütte mit prima Ausstattung

Wir haben unsere Zeit am Cabot Trail im schlafenden Elch sehr genossen. Vermieter Ton ist super hilfsbereit und backt sehr leckere Pannekoeken. UNbedingt dem Café einen Besuch abstatten. Bei Vollmond hatten wir an dem Picknickplatz, der zur Hütte gehört, einen wunderschönen Blick aufs Meer.

Rustic Modern Combination

We stayed here for 2 nights on a fall trip to Cape Breton. The cottage was a fantastic blend of rustic and modern, well layed out and well stocked. We loved the ocean sunrise view both from the oversized sliding glass doors and from the picnic table at the ocean. An added touch was our chicken neighbours. Ton makes a great breakfast and is a friendly host. We highly recommend!

Great vacation in a comfortable cottage

We spent 4 nights in the cottage. Our host Ton was very nice and helpful. He also made amazing Pancakes and Waffels in his Café Dancing Moose. The cottage offered 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room with a chimney. The facilities provided were sufficient. We also Used the barbecue outside. From the beach We could Spot whales (But far from the beach). We would Come back!

Peaceful!

We had a great time at the Cottage in Wreck Cove! Simple place but had all the conveniences we needed. Just walk to the ocean or breakfast/lunch at the restaurant. The chickens roamed around the property, were cute to watch! walked for miles by the ocean not a sandy beach rocks, rocks and more rocks but still nice. We had a campfire our last night and watched the stars. Just down right nice and peaceful. Definitely would go back. Beth

Cozy, comfortable and peaceful retreat

My husband, small dog and I recently spent three nights here. The rustic cottage was clean, well-cared-for, and well-supplied. We were impressed with its very efficient layout and how well-built it was. Everything was in excellent working order, and we enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The views at the nearby rocky shore were spectacular. We used this cottage as a base from which to explore the Cabot Trail by car and the Cape Breton Highlands National Park on foot. We went on a whale watch out of Bay St. Lawrence and saw whales, seals, an ocean sunfish and incredible geologic formations. We attended a ceilidh one evening in a nearby church and enjoyed an intimate acoustic concert of traditional Cape Breton folk music. We enjoyed our breakfast of Dutch "pannekoeken" at Ton and Yvonne's Dancing Moose Cafe so much that we returned another morning for more. Our host was friendly and helpful, and made sure we felt welcomed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and would heartily recommend it to others.
