Fall colours

Very clean property. Everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Enjoyed the short walk to the private beach. Close to many hiking trails and amenities in Cheticamp. Would definitely recommend this property and would return without hesitation

Peaceful and Beautiful

Absolutely stunning views near by, 20 minutes to the skyline trail (gorgeous drive the time flies). The host has really put love and effort into all the little details of this place. It was extremely cozy and welcoming to come back to at the end of the day. Would 1000% stay again! Suggestions to make it even better would be to have some soap available for the shower, increase water pressure if at all possible (it’s not a deal breaker). Very happy we had the opportunity to stay here. The host is also very talented with her macramé skills, which you can enjoy throughout the home.

Very clean and cozy

The property is cozy and very clean. The cottage is well stocked and we liked the coffee bar area. We loved the location including being so close to town, the park entrance, and the delicious bakery. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful stay in Cheticamp

We loved this beautifully decorated, contemporary and comfortable place, which was a perfect base for hiking the eastern side of Cape Breton Highlands National Park - just a 5min drive to the visitor centre. The cottage is in a peaceful neighbourhood just a bit off the main road, and everything was very comfortable - lots of light, comfy beds, and a great couch and rocking chair for reading. Very well appointed kitchen where we enjoyed cooking dinners - it was so pleasant we weren’t even tempted to go out to eat. The place is beautifully decorated too, lots of nice attention to detail. Great communication with hosts as well. All around a wonderful stay!

Cape Breton escape

Perfect location for a quiet getaway. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The private beach was a five-minute walk away. The nearby bakery was fifteen minutes away on foot and was excellent. Restaurants and various craft outlets a few minutes away by car. Right on the doorstep of the Highlands National Park with its breathtaking trails. A wonderful place to spend a week.

About the host

Hosted by Angela Chiasson-Murphy

Hello/Bonjour!
We are the Chiasson's: Amelia, Angela, Carrie, Greg and Camille. We are proudly Acadian and we are from the Cheticamp area. We purchased Sunset Lane Cottage as our home away from home, as, all 3 "children" live in different parts of the world. Amelia and Camille (mom and dad) live a hop, skip and a jump from this property. We are eager to share our cozy sunset haven with others who visit this beautiful area. Thank you for being here :).

Why they chose this property

It's a feeling. When you walk in, you will know what we are talking about. This property gives an overwhelming feeling of cozy vibes with stunning sunset views. It's the perfect space to connect with others, yourself, and nature. We believe that relationship and connection is everything. You will feel that here.

What makes this property unique

Our favourite things to do? Barbecues, lobster boils, music around the fire pit, and strolls to the beach for salt water swims. You will NOT want to miss the views that this property has to offer.
