Cozy house in a great location

This house was centrally located to everything we wanted to do while in this area of Cape Breton. It was quiet and comfortable and we appreciated being able to do laundry. I would recommend it to other travelers.

Best place to stay in Cape Breton

I can’t recommend this place enough, and it most definitely won’t be our last time to visit. We were storm stuck here and Kim went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we were comfortable and safe. Again, we will definitely be back and look forward to our next stay. Thank you Kim again.

Served our needs

This house was a good place to stay as we enjoyed the Celtic Colours music festival. Its location made it easy to get to the concerts, and it is minutes from the Cabot Trail. It t had everything we needed, and the owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Enjoyed our stay!

The house was clean and comfortable. Well decorated and an excellent spot to enjoy the scenic drives, including the Cabot Trail. (We did see two moose on that drive.) Kim, the owner, stopped by to check on us, friendly and personable. Had some good suggestions of restaurants and things to do. Extremely impressed with the washer and dryer :-)

This cottage was in a great location and made it easy to get to any local attractions. There was vehicle noise from the highway which made keeping the windows open challenging. Kim was a very responsive host!

Christened new BBQ with T bones

Host messaged when house was ready and was quick to respond to any questions. Brand new BBQ on deck which we cooked steak on. Laundry was handy after staying several nights in Halifax. Very handy to Cabot trail. Air-conditioning for those hot days appreciated.

Pleasant and affordable location as jump-off to Cape Breton activities

Good location for accessing the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands NP. Also only a few minutes away from The Gaelic College and its wonderful weekly Wednesday night ceilidhs. Only real downside of this property is its location so close to Hwy 105, which means there is a fair amount of traffic noise in what would otherwise be a very peaceful setting. Driveways were a bit hard to spot.

Tale of two halves

Good location, easy checkin. Main level of property fabulous with nice bedroom, lounge, well equipped kitchen and amazing laundry facilities and bathroom with plenty of towels. However, unfortuately basement level rooms not as good. Smell of damp in twin queen room and problem with ants and other bugs in room and bed.

Great location

Excellent location for access to Baddeck and Cabot trail counter-clockwise, including the Gaelic College. I would give it 41/2 stars if I could. The bed on the main floor is quite uncomfortable. We happened to be camping before we came and the memory foam we had improved it greatly. The only bathroom is on the main floor and the stairs up from the rooms in the converted basement are quite steep. Overall we were comfortable and would stay again.
