Location: Inverness, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada (One mile from town!!)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
This gorgeous beachfront/oceanfront house was built in 2004. The house was built with an open, bright, happy concept to accommodate up to eight people comfortably.
The living/dining room combo has a 25 foot cathedral style pine tongue and groove ceiling with huge windows looking out onto a beautiful view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It also has a wonderful wood fireplace and a gorgeous leather full size sofa bed.
There are maple hardwood floors throughout the house. The kitchen features butcher block counter tops and a refinished antique farmhouse sink with the Gulf view!
There is a huge deck that has three separate entrances and includes an outdoor shower with hot and cold water to get the sand off your body.
There is a bedroom with two twin antique wrought iron beds. Next to that bedroom is a full bathroom including shower. The laundry area is located in the hallway adjacent to the bathroom.
The second floor is fabulous! This is an open loft style bedroom with a king size antique wrought iron bed and a futon bunk bed that has a full size bed on the bottom and a twin on top. Great for adults or kids!!
There is an awesome bathroom with an incredible tiled steam shower!! On a rainy day after a hike, run or ride, this steam is heaven! Great views from the many windows too!!
Our house sits 300 feet in from the road on 17 acres. Very private. There is a hiking path (about 15-20 minute walk) to our beautiful beach.
All this just one mile from the town of Inverness which has shopping, restaurants, a public beach with cafe and a new golf course in the making!
Cape Breton was noted by Conde Nast Traveler magazine as the #1 Beautiful Island and the #2 Most Friendly People. In 2005, National Geographic called Cape Breton Highlands National Park the #2 best national park in North America. Cape Breton was voted the Number 2 destination world-wide by National Geographic Traveler Magazine (March 2004). It was singled out by Travel and Leisure Magazine in 2006 as one of the “World’s Best Islands” (one of four)
Celtic Colours International Festival is October 9-17, 2009!!
