We had a lovely stay at the Chateau acadien. The panoramic view from the deck of the Cape Breton shoreline is unforgettable. All the rooms were luxurious and clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location on Cheticamp Island is in the original fishing settlement, and a small museum is being built nearby. It is supremely quiet and peaceful, but conveniently close to Cheticamp. I highly recommend this property.

Great Getaway

We had a wonderful trip! The property is located on a secluded island just minutes away from the town of Cheticamp. We went for a morning round of golf at la Portage Golf and Country club and followed by an evening taking in the local bands at the Doryman Pub!The Property has beautiful wrap around windows allowing for a view of the bay from 3 sides, and a wrap around deckperfect for morning coffees and evening BBQs. We are going looking forward to coming back next year and making this trip an annual tradition.

Family vacation

We were very happy with the location and we had six in our group. We had adequate rooms to spread out and enjoyed the large kitchen table to play games that was provided. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the large deck and the beautiful view. We wished we could have stayed longer.

What an amazing place. Situated at the end of a very quiet road, there is a great view of the ocean and you can walk to the beach for a swim. The inside was perfect for the 6 adults and 3 kids in our party, and we enjoyed every minute - especially on the large wrap around deck. We will definitely put this on our list as a place to visit again!

A wonderful place to have a reunion - close to the beach, hiking and the village of Cheticamp.

It gave our family a great spot to eat, visit, play board games, have a kitchen party on the deck, hike and swim.

Loud, Undisclosed Construction Next Door

Unfortunately, our stay was significantly impacted by extremely loud construction noise from the lot right next to the house. Each morning, we were woken up at 7:30 a.m. by constant noise from large trucks, beeping, pounding, and heavy machinery that lasted until 5 p.m. daily. The noise was so loud that even with windows closed, the house shook and the windows vibrated.We were unable to enjoy time on the deck due to the dust and noise, and the construction crew had a direct view of the outdoor space, compromising privacy. When we contacted the host, we received little sympathy and were told simply to avoid being home during construction hours.The biggest disappointment was that none of this was disclosed in the listing. Had we known, we would have chosen a different rental. We’ve stayed at many VRBO properties and always left 5-star reviews—this is the first time we’ve felt compelled to rate lower. Until the construction is complete, I would not recommend this property.

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay on Cheticamp island. The check-in process was seamless and Aized’s communication was excellent. The location is beautiful with great views. When the windows are open, a very nice breeze comes through the house. As others have mentioned, the house could be cleaner. It needs a thorough deep clean and better regular cleanings. Overall, the house worked well for our family and the location was excellent - a short drive into Cheticamp and up to the trails in the park!

Wonderful Experience!

Wonderful experience for our group of 5 adults. Beautiful views, great deck for morning coffee.And we were greeted by seals floating in the water near the house, in the morning. The tea drinker in the group was grateful for the teapot in the kitchen. Very responsive owner/manager. He answered questions immediately. Property is steps from an 80 acre nature preserve which we took full advantage of. Just a wonderful experience. Highly recommend. !

Awesome view a! Wonderful unspoiled natural area!

We had a wonderful time. The view and the island were magnificent. We saw numerous birds, seals and dolphin. Swam at nearby beach where the kids caught and released many hermit crabs. Went to the lighthouse on island and hiked at Cape Breton National Park. Wildlife everywhere. One of the most beautiful unspoiled areas any of us had ever visited.

Great location, property is tired and not very clean

Wonderful location but property is not being cared for. Sheets on the beds were stained and both showers had a build up of black mold. Furnishings are “tired” and there are no blinds on the windows in the downstairs bedroom. Wonderful area outside but there was no table and the chairs shown in the pictures were not the ones made available to us.

Adventure of a lifetime

We based out of Cheticamp for the 3rd stop of a 3 part Nova Scotia family vacation and our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer! So many beds/ bedrooms that we all had our space, and a fabulous upstairs sitting area with full windows and view of the st Lawrence and a family of seals. This room was stocked with so many fun games for the kids to play. The home was literally perfect for our unexpected rain day/ a great place to cozy up, read, and watch the sea and seals. And then for the sunny days, this home was the perfect jumping off spot for so many adventures- gravel riding right from the door, the hill behind the house for mt biking exploration, and a fun stretch of restaurants and bakeries within 10 minutes. The hikes- gypsum mines, the Cabot trail, and also whale watching, all within 10-30 minutes! Plus so much more. The porch for sunset is just the best for star gazing after a big day outside, and for breakfast the next morning. We will be back to explore more by bike and also to hike blueberry mountain. Thank you for hosting our big family of 7 in your home.

Cheticamp

The view from the house was incredible and it was so quite. The deck is large, but the deck chairs should be replaced or the rust strapped and repainted. The house itself could be cleaner. The instructions about the house and the area were available and clear. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, etc. Bathrooms lacked the quantity of shampoo and conditioner and body wash that was stated in the write up. The accommodation can accomodate many people. The beds upstairs, I would not recommend for adults, it is one open area. There were games, cards, etc. The barbaque did not get hot enough and needs a cleaning. The host was gracious and accommodating. The area was very good for outdoor activities.

Beautiful Accommodations

This house is absolutely stunning. Everything you need is there. The views are awesome. The location is very close to the National Park where you can see more views. The property owners, Marianne and George have decorated their house exquisitely. They have quite a library of books available to read and an excellent deck to read them on. The entire house has windows all around. In the loft you are able to see the Milky Way and falling stars. The beds are very comfortable and all other furnishings are nice. The kitchen is large and a beautiful long table for everyone to sit around and enjoy their meals. Marianne has quite a display of dishes. We could not have asked for better accommodations anywhere. I would most definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit the Cabot's Trail. Not sure our family will get out that way again, but if we do, this is the place we would stay. Thank you Marianne and George for sharing your beautiful home with our family.

Beautiful location and house with all the amenities. Perfect for large families.

The house is in wonderful location with everything you could want for a great vacation. Nothing required to bring, even the lobster pot and tools for a great dinner. The deck is large and welcoming and a great place to watch the ocean waves and the stars. There is even a secluded beach that is a close walk to the property. The upstairs is beautiful with an awesome view although can get a bit hot and stuffy in the summer and no shower upstairs but a bathroom and a sink. A well located, well kept, and well equipped house for a special vacation.
