We had a lovely stay in a beautiful spot overlooking Bras d’Or Lake. Seeing moose in the garden was a real highlight! The beds were comfortable, the property was well equipped, and the host was very responsive. It was also within easy reach of Baddeck. We’d happily stay again.

The property is not in the National Park. It is located near Baddeck on a spectacular property overlooking the Bras d'Or. The view is beautiful. The host was responsive to our needs, and the place was spotlessly clean.

Fabulous Stay in Big Harbour

I can’t overstate what a wonderful time we had at this property. We were there for the better part of two weeks and didn’t want to leave - the views of rolling fields and the Bras D’Or were expansive and peaceful; the cottages were super well appointed and exuded so much character; the location was just outside Baddeck was perfect.The hosts were super helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. We truly couldn’t ask for more, and look forward to a return visit to explore even more of magical Cape Breton!

Family Vacation on Bras d'Or

Amazing getaway for a large family or group. Each of the cottages are clean and roomy with a great atmosphere and plenty of space. Katie is a friendly and communicative host - even though we didn't need any help, I have no doubt she would have helped us resolve any issue quickly. Looking forward to booking again next time we're in Cape Breton!

Beautiful Property

This property is amazing. From the stunning water views framed by a spacious lawn to the three separate cottages, to the close proximity to the Cabot Trail as well as downtown Baddeck…it was perfect for our family retreat of 3 couples. The owner/manager Katie Fagan was very helpful during the booking process as well as during our stay. We will remember this trip for years to come and would highly recommend this experience to others!

Peaceful cottages in a great location!

We were thrilled to find this serene property in a perfect location that made exploring Cape Breton easily accessible. The cottages are just as described - well-equipped with incredible views and with the opportunity to spend time with family and also retreat for some quiet time alone as well. The view from all sides, including the lazy, sweeping driveway, rolling grassy landscape, and of course the sparkling water of Big Harbour never failed to fill us with wonder. From watching the stars on a clear night, to day trips along the Cabot Trail or to Louisbourg Fortress, there was always something to explore and fill our time with joy and adventure. We hope we will be able to return one day and would most definitely recommend this location and property to anyone looking to explore Cape Breton. The owners were wonderful and responded quickly to messages. We are so thankful that they choose to share this very special place - such a perfect location to make beautiful memories.

Wonderful cottges

The three cottages are perfect for a group of adults. Everyone had their own space as well as plenty of room to congregate. Each cottage is charmingly decorated and each has a spectacular view of the lake. The thrid cottage now has a full bathroom. There were fans in each room which were great on the 3-4 warm days that we had. The location is perfect- close enough to Baddeck for dinner but far enough away to be completely peaceful. The owner was very responsive for the few small issues that arose. I would return without hesistation.

Family cottage holiday at its best!

Thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday at the farm! Daytrips around Cape Breton Island were memorable and quiet days/evenings at the beautiful cottages equally enjoyed. We holidayed with 3 married children and a 1 yr old grandson. All the baby items were onsite. Lots of room for everyone to play games/eat together. The kitchen fully equipped. The three cottages allowed everyone to spread out and have some quiet times. The deck views were beautiful! We holidayed late August so bugs were few, the tempertures very comfortable and the wild blueberries plentiful! The only disappointment was we had to leave.

Great Family Vacation

The house was great for our family of 8 and having the 2 separate cottages was nice giving some their own space. The view was beautiful and relaxing. Location is in a private area and a short 20 minute drive from Baddeck center. Everything is in the house that you need. Great windows open at night for a breeze. We enjoyed the Cabot Trail and did the Skyline walk, Amoeba Sail boat from Baddeck, Glenora Destillery, Red Shoe Pub, drinks and lunch at Cabot Links, golf at Bell Bay in Baddeck, Tubing down the Margaree River (highlight) and Spruce Hill Brewery (great for an afternoon of music and beer) and visits to a few beaches in Inverness and Sydney. Only recommendation is to have a portable fan for every room in the summer as it was hot during the week we were there in July. Also bring bug spray for mosquitos and black flies as they were everywhere in Cape Breton but the spray helps a bit. Great week, we loved Cape Breton. Thank you for lettings us rent your property.

Peaceful retreat in convenient 3-house setup

We were looking for a vacation rental to accomodate a group of 5 adults and 4 children and the 3-house property proved ideal: clean, peaceful, functional. Baddeck is 15 minutes away and has everything you need. The patio is great and there is lots of playing space for kids , but the abundance of black flies limited our ability to enjoy it fully -- apparently this year is exceptional in this regard. The owners were quick to respond to our inquiries and made great recommendations (Red Shoe Pub in Mabou among them). Overall a great stay in Cape Breton.
