About the host
Hosted by Catherine
Welcome to Black Line & Spoon cottage! It is named after the lyrics from “Song for the Mira” written in 1973 by Allister MacGillivray. It is a celtic folk song that is well known by Cape Bretoners. The lyrics speak of the singer’s longing for the Mira River and his desire to return.
My husband was born and raised in the area. I am from Quebec and always loved vacationing in Cape Breton. We are pleased to be able to share our little piece of paradise with VRBO guests.
We hope that you enjoy your stay and the beauty & serenity of the Mira River and Cape Breton.
I am bilingual and happy to assist our guests in French. I am bilingual and will be happy to assist you in French if needed.
