Hello/Bonjour!
We are the Chiasson's: Amelia, Angela, Carrie, Greg and Camille. We are proudly Acadian and we are from the Cheticamp area. We purchased Sunset Lane Cottage as our home away from home, as, all 3 "children" live in different parts of the world. Amelia and Camille (mom and dad) live a hop, skip and a jump from this property. We are eager to share our cozy sunset haven with others who visit this beautiful area. Thank you for being here :).

Why they chose this property

It's a feeling. When you walk in, you will know what we are talking about. This property gives an overwhelming feeling of cozy vibes with stunning sunset views. It's the perfect space to connect with others, yourself, and nature. We believe that relationship and connection is everything. You will feel that here.

What makes this property unique

Our favourite things to do? Barbecues, lobster boils, music around the fire pit, and strolls to the beach for salt water swims. You will NOT want to miss the views that this property has to offer.
