About this property

Awesome and Affordable River Cottage

Precious cottage with an Angel's View

Overlooking the first Salmon Pool of the Cheticamp River, bordering the Highland National Park, and minutes away from the Acadian French village of Cheticamp, this jewel will please your soul.

Appearing to be remote, the active village is just 2 minutes away with drug store, grocery, beauty shops, gift shops, bakeries, museums, whale tours etc. But at the cabin you are surrounded by privacy of trees, mountains, and the Cheticamp River. Two blocks away is the Gulf of Saint Lawrence where the Cheticamp River spills into the salty beach.

The cabin is small but the view is large. Offering a full view of the Cheticamp River and Highlands National Park is your ever changing view. We watch moose, bear, deer, coyotes, chipmunks, squirrels, and eagles as they cross the river and forage the flora. Enjoy evening camp fires in the fire pit. Canoe the river at high tides or just sit and relax on the lawn with a view worth Angel's wings.

Inside the cabin is comfy sofa and chairs, Flat screen Smart TV, full kitchen and standard bathroom.

Fishing is fly reel only from the pool up. It is a scheduled river so 'catch and release'. You can trout fish also.

This is our private cabin so we maintain it with the comforts we expect for daily living.
We have outside amenities such as Bar- B- Que, , Fire Pit, Picnic tables, and outside chairs.


I am dog friendly. If you have a dog you want me to consider, please tell me the age, size and breed when inquiring to this listing.

During Covid Restrictions and Protocols, we are allowing 48 hours minimum between guest for our housekeepers and your security.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband Lee and I have 3 children and 3 grand children. We are retired (sort of) in Myrtle Beach, SC and are able to share our Angel's View with you.
It is our get-aways so furnished comfy. We enjoy golf, oceans, rivers, beaches, mountains and wildlife viewing.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the cool summers, moose, mountains, whales and rocks found in Cape Breton. Our property border is the Highland National Park, you know there will never be a commercial sign or neighbor in your front yard..Just nature at it's Glorious best.

What makes this property unique

By far seeing wildlife cross the river is a highlight. The cottage sits up on a ridge 20 feet above the river. This allows you to view wildlife as they go about their normal life. This ranges from moose, bear, deer, coyote, muskrat, beaver and the majestic bald head eagles. Canoeing the river and fishing is a calming past time. Then hiking the trails or just driving through the mountains is spectacular! The friendly French village is charming and unique.
