À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

Writer’s Retreat. Secluded Waterfront Bras d’Or Lake, Cape Breton

Our Tigh Beag (little house in Gaelic) invites you to relax and unwind. Enjoy reconnecting with nature and with yourself at our secluded waterfront home on the Bras d’Or lake (the largest inland salt water lake in the world).
Nestled amongst mature trees, our three bedroom house is a short drive to world class golf and within a day’s drive to many of the best seasonal attractions Cape Breton has to offer.
Guests enjoy access to the entire house and over an acre of treed property. Hi speed wifi, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, gas BBQ, washer and dryer, full bathroom as well as an large screen T.V with ROKU, an assortment of DVD movies, video games, books, indoor and outdoor games and an electric fireplace make for a comfortable stay. Our beach is private and peaceful connecting to the house via a rustic path. There is a spot on the beach for fires and a propane fire pit on the deck. We are 30 minutes from grocery/gas so be sure to stop in Port Hawkesbury or St.Peters for supplies on your way.
The house is small and caters to couples or small families. NON-SHEDDING dogs will be considered on a case by case basis. We are located in St. George’s Channel, half way between St. Peter’s and Port Hawkesbury. We are 5 miles from the Dundee Golf Course and less than10 miles from a Provincial Park boat launch. Fishing Booking names the Bras d’Or lake as a golden ticket to both freshwater and saltwater fishing adventures. As well, we are within a day’s round trip drive to The Fortress Louisbourg, Miners Museum, Highland Village, Cabot Links Golf, Alexander Graham Bell Museum, Gaelic College, Glenora Distillery, local vineyards, and many other attractions. The Cabot Trail is also accessible and can be driven round trip within a day if you get an early start.
Celtic Colours is one of many music festivals that takes place on the island, and we are perfectly situated for easy access to the many venues.
There is a lot to see and do in Cape Breton. We are a great stopping point as well for folks heading on to Newfoundland via North Sydney if they chose the scenic route 4.

Sandy and John are what Cape Breton hospitality is all about. Their well appointed home has everything you need and more. The magical path to the beach is lit with fairy lights and although a fire ban was in place during our visit we enjoyed their deck fire pit on crisp October nights. The house is secluded and surrounded by beautiful fall foliage. Internet and a large screen smart tv are available for rainy days. Not a sound was heard or a living soul spotted during our stay and we slept oh so well. Our only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. John and Sandy are responsive hosts and we highly recommend their lovely home.

This cozy house was perfect for us. We felt right at home here. The house was beautifully decorated and every window has a gorgeous view. The backyard is large and the trail to the beach makes you want to go every morning and every evening. The host was super helpful to us during our stay. I would give it six stars if I could.

The cottage is secluded with plenty of wildlife and amazing scenery. We were visited by fox, deer and hummingbirds!The kitchen is well appointed and beds are comfortable. Our host was very responsive to questions before and during our stay.The short walk to the shore leads to a rocky beach with lovely views and awe inspiring sunsets.Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to relax and unwind. Make sure to stop for provisions on the way to the cottage as the nearest grocery is about 30 minutes away.

We loved the stay here at the Writer’s Retreat which was only a short distance from a wedding venue (Dundee Golf and Country Club). It is pet friendly and our dog Charlie felt right at home plus it was great to have a nice safe path to walk Charlie to the lakeshore where we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the salt water lake. Sandy and John are excellent hosts.

Good

The place is good, and we had a good time in the area. The place is not right on the beach--it is about a 200 meter walk through the woods. The house is pretty remote, which can be a good thing, but every place we wanted to visit is at least an hour drive away. We did a lot of driving and spent a lot on gas. We wish we had stayed in Baddeck.

We loved everything. It had everything you could possibly want or need. The path to the lake could use some lighting. Otherwise it is an amazing place to unwind and decompress. We definitely want to go back.

Peacefully Bliss

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped for all your needs. We brought our own groceries and enjoyed bbqing and sitting on the deck. The private path to the beach was such a pleasant addition. Great cell service and lots of movies and games to pass the time. Close to St Peter's and Marble Mountain to see the scenery. Enjoyed 5 evenings of beautiful sunsets. Highly recommend.

Relaxation

After a VERY minor glitch with the alarm system we settled in to this lovely and extremely comfortable home. Everything we needed was there, from kitchen utensils to squirrels and deer to the most amazing sunset! Even a day of rain was not an issue. It was perfect for hot chocolate and curling up with a good book. The only thing that would have made it better would have been more time there.

Perfect little quiet home.

We chose this location by proximity to the lake. It was clean and well appointed and did not disappoint (other than we didn’t catch any fish). Home was well stocked with necessity item including cookware which was important for us as we cooked our own meals. It also had dishwasher and detergent along with washer and dryer and laundry soap. It was a quiet peaceful location and I would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful!

What a wonderful week! The cottage is so cozy with all the conveniences one could want. A beautiful location and magical path to the lake. Such peace and tranquility. My only regret is I didn’t get to stay longer! I’ll be booking again for next year and won’t make the same mistake :)

Beautiful spot.

This is a lovely cottage fully equipped with everything you need. The path down to the water is magical and the scenery is breathtaking.The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is because we had a difficult time finding food when we arrived. The nearest market is 25 minutes away. If you come prepared with provisions you are all set for a wonderful time.
