Premier Host

Best place to stay in Cape Breton

The location of this property gives easy access to several prime tourist sites. The property and lodgings are immaculate and have all the essentials. While you may find this in many places, what was unique was the open armed welcome we received. So friendly and included us in a dinner with neighbours and community members. Great attention to details like a welcome bottle of wine, use of the waterfront, canoe, horseshoes, life jackets, paddles and a bbq. We will be returning next year to explore more of the east coast! We highly recommend this location!

Perfect First Experience

Shirley has an amazing property with comfortable and welcoming home feel, great views, spots to sit and a nice pool. She is an awesome host and a super sweet lady, so glad I got to meet her and stay on the Mira. Hope to go back one day soon!

Cape Breton comfort, homey and spacious

We enjoyed rain and fog on our trip, however the accommodations on the Mira River was warm, cozy and just like home. We had everything we needed, and more than we could ask for. We didn’t get to enjoy the outside for more than a brief visit to the wharf. I highly recommend this property!
