We had an unforgettable four-day stay at Megan’s cabin. It is clean, cozy, and equipped with all the basics, and the beds were very comfortable. But what makes this cabin so special is its secluded location, breathtaking ocean views, cool sea breezes, eagles soaring overhead. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves and watching the starry sky right from bed was truly magical. I absolutely fell in love with this place and would love to come back!

What a beautiful spot. Truly out of the way, which meant for longer drive times into both sections of the national park and beyond, and minimal conveniences in the village, but also meant extreme quiet, privacy, and unspoiled beauty. For us, that was just right.

Visited this beautiful cottage with my wife and dog. As you pull up the nearly half a mile long driveway and drive up over the crest to the cottage the view is truly stunning, no exaggeration. The cottage itself is simple, clean and perfect for me, my wife and my German Shepherd. We got lucky and had perfect weather for our visit and we hiked daily in and out of Cape Breton Highland Park. The tree colors were magnificent. And coming back to the cottage on the cliff with its stunning views was amazing. Enjoyed the deck with morning coffee and saw some beautiful sunsets as well. One morning a bald eagle flew just over the short pine trees not more than 50 ft from the deck. Really an amazing property. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful spot to unwind, relax and explore. The cottage was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The tempest winds up on the hill were quite intense and strangely comforting at the same time! Horizontal rain and chilly air gave way to a beautiful next morning with the sun shining in on the bedroom and pure clean ocean air to breathe in. Needless to say, our trip was more than I expected and was so very special in so many ways. Maegan was very easy to get hold of and made sure we were checked in and comfy. My dog loved the huge yard to run and explore, and I am sure the chipmunks and rabbits were happy to have him leave! Thank you again for sharing your family cottage and history!

What a location!!! This spot is a bit of a dream, it’s where you could write a book… or read a book(s), as our family did. It is a basic little cabin, offering what you need to escape from the world for a short time. The beds were very comfortable, perfect for all of us (4 adults). Make sure to bring any specialty items - food options at the tip of Cape Breton are limited (there is a small store with basics). We bought lobster in the harbour and had a fabulous dinner in the cabin. We also loved Bay St Lawrence as a base - we visited Dingwall, Meat Cove and did the Skyline Trail from there. Great memories were made all round!!One note - the booking is in US dollars, even though the location of the property is in Canada (we assume this is because the owner is American). This can mean that the cost is a little more than advertised, depending on your credit card fees and exchange rates.

Absolutely beautiful location, remote without being incredibly isolated. Great spot for access to hiking, biking, or just laying low. It had everything you need with a general store nearby, a kitchen and fridge, good shower, etc.

Breathtakingly beautiful! Truly the best VRBO I’ve ever stayed at! Thank you Conway family for sharing your cabin! I had an incredible time exploring Cape Breton and being able to relax every evening on the back porch as I watched pilot whales swim by was an experience I will never forget. Thank you!

First and foremost Meagan was fantastic with all aspects of their wonderful wonderful house! Can’t say enough good things about her communication with me other than to say it was outstanding. I would recommend their house to anyone who is looking for an unbelievable view and coziness! We enjoyed every minute there! The privacy that comes with this home is unparalleled. It’s perfect for 2-4 adults and possibly with children. It has everything one needs to get the most out of their stay in this beautiful area!!!

Wow, what a wonderful spot on this earth

Small, cozy cabin at the end of the world. What a wonderful place to stay. We absolutely loved it. The kitchen is well equipped and we didn‘t miss anything. The beds were comfortable and we loved having 2 rooms (a snoring problem), yet so close next to each other. We would always love to come again. Great little harbor with lots of lobster fishing going on. The supermarket is right in the little village and well equipped.

Excellent property, exactly as shown in the add

We had a great time at the cottage. It was clean and has everything you need. We spent our days walking the beach and hiking some local trails. Afterwards, you can walk down to the wharf and buy lobster right off the boat. We did and loved it! For us it was a bit overcast for a good sunset but it would be a great spot to view from. If you want a secluded fishing community for some peace and quiet, while still having a lot of sites to see, this is it.
