The host of this VRBO rental has literally thought of everything down to the very last detail. The place was spotless and super cold when we arrived. We had to turn the air conditioning down, but that was totally ok. We used the blue tooth speaker that was provided to play some music and the sound was fantastic! The beds were very comfortable. The only thing I could have wished for was that the gazebo screen curtains were functional because it was a bit buggy outside. The view, however, is totally amazing.

A lovely cabin, nicely decorated with a forest/wildlife design. Very clean and in a great area.The kitchen is well equipped. There was a BBQ available also.The living room was comfortable, with rocker/recliners, sofa, TV and a log burner. Very comfortable.Bathroom was clean and had everything we needed. A good selection of cosmetics, and even some toothbrushes in case someone forgot theirs. Very thoughtful especially as the nearest stores are a fair distance away.Very quiet surroundings with well maintained grounds and a lovely view of the lake. The bedrooms have a lovely countryside design. Comfortable beds and lots of space for clothes. Lots of nice things to do nearby. About 1.5 hours from the Highlands Park and Cabot Trail. Well worth a visit. There is also a list of local recommendations on the fridge.Its been a lovely stay!

Great location for experiencing Bras d’Or Lake area. Husband and son did charter deep sea fishing from Stanley, 30 min. away. Many thoughtful touches. Host was very helpful and communicative. Good for getting away from it all.

It could use a window air conditioner to use at night during extreme heat, but overall we had a great experience and Lisa was very quick to respond to questions and feeback. Highly recommend!
