Exceptional!
5/5 -
(18 traveler reviews)
Fantastic!
Very special home base for salmon fisherman, or for anyone looking for a home base for day trips around the Cabot or Celtic trais... Michael is a peach, and the house perfect... spectacular back deck, and an easy to fish, beautiful salmon pool in your back yard to boot! You'll lack for nothing....
A Castle for the price of a Mansion!!
Perfect place to stay for golfers.
30 min drive to the best golf course in CANADA ( Cabot Cliffs and Cabot Links) and two other close by as well.
As for the house, it is simply perfect. Very clean and well equiped with everything you might need for cooking.
And finally, the owner Michael is simply a scholar and a gentlemen!!

Fun week at Margaree Forks Home!
We really enjoyed Michael's house. It was very comfortable and a well stocked kitchen was great. The outdoor patio was nice and enjoyed the backyard along with the trail out to the river with the chairs and serene sound of the water was so relaxing! We had a relaxing and fun week there, Thanks Michael
Beautiful Home
This was my third trip to Cape Breton and this was hands down the best place I've stayed All of the comforts of home and beyond including a huge deck and large yard that leads down to your own Salmon Pool to fish I would recommend taking advantage of the yard my bringing your own favourite outdoors games Mike is a great guy , friendly and helpful The location is perfect if you want to go up the Cabot Trail or Baddeck way If I make it there a fourth time this will be my first place to look
Wonderful little piece of Heaven
Our time in Michael's Guest house was too short. The Margaree Valley was incredibly beautiful and Michael's
hospitality equal to the location. Made to feel right at home and everything you could possibly want or need
in this wonderful home. Fishing at the Salmon pool at the bottom of the property was the highlight of my trip
and Michael's generous help with us less experienced fly fisherman made our day. Wonderful spot and host!

The most beautiful home on the Margaree River
What a wonderful vacation we had in Nova Scotia. One of the great highlights was staying at Michael Hilton's guest home. The home is beautiful inside and out and the property is gorgeous. Walking to the river and watching a pair of bald eagles in flight was a thrill. So much beautiful countryside to see, wonderful seafood to eat and fiddlers to enjoy that we wished we could have stayed at the guest house another week. We can't thank Michael and Ilke enough for their wonderful hospitality. We felt like we were saying goodbye to friends when we left. We hope to return to Margaree Forks and this beautiful home again soon.
Map
Designated as the top island in North America to visit, this is the perfect vacation home from which to explore the unspoiled and protected wilderness and rocky bluffs on one of the world's most scenic drives. At home, in the Margarees, either fish for salmon or trout, bathe in the warm waters of the Gulf stream ocean, or just relax. The Celtic and Acadian music and hospitality will warm your heart. The fresh lobster & crab dinners will nourish your body and the countless magical moments during fossil hunting or beachcombing or just puttering about will allow your spirit to soar with the eagles.
Other Activities: live harness racing, ocean fishing & cruises, celtic music, eagle spotting, fossil hunting
