Was the perfect place to stay to see all of cape Breton. It's central, close to amenities, the place is just spacious enough to allow you a place to relax and be in a quiet place. It was perfect for our friend trip.
This was a beautiful property and well suited for any individual or family looking for a comfortable place to stay. The home is well outfitted, and in an excellent location.
Nanook’s den is a beautiful , charming and spotless home !!! What a fantastic time we had . The yard overlooks the mountains and there is a gas grill . Love the way it was decorated !Everyhing was perfect and it had a brand new washer / dryer that really came in handy . We wish we could have stayed longer ! It couldn’t be better situated to explore the western entrance of the Cape Breton Highlands National park . Literally so close ! Great sandwich shop at end of the road called Last Chance Sandwich . You couldn’t ask for a better stay and the hosts were awesome. Do not hesitate to book . We traveled with two adult couples .
Absolutely amazing stay! The space was spotless, beautifully maintained, and felt very welcoming. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, making the experience comfortable and relaxing. The host was attentive and professional. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality stay!

Thank you for your beautiful comments we really appreciate it. We welcome you back anytime ☺️
Even though our stay was short, we absolutely loved this small but incredibly functional house. It was spotless, beautifully organized, and offered the perfect peaceful retreat away from town.Be sure to take the time to read the welcome book and learn about the story of Lynn’s daughter—it is both touching and inspiring. We also loved the opportunity to purchase the beautiful handmade tuques, mittens, and moccasins displayed in the house. They are truly works of art and make wonderful keepsakes.Lynn and Christian made sure we had everything we needed and were exceptional hosts. We highly recommend staying here. We only wish we could have stayed longer, but the Cabot Trail was calling us!
5 stars. We should have booked more nights at this definitely location to take advantage of this nice residence. Beautiful yard with mountains in the back, green grass, and lots of space and privacy. Very close to the Skyline Trail Perfect for a couple or a family. Clean and modern. Very gracious host. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The location was beautiful and peaceful, but not walking distance to any restaurants. However the kitchen was fully equipped for cooking and eating in. The beds were comfortable. One bedroom has two steps up to get into it, which could be an issue for some. The rooms lacked places to put luggage, so we put it on the floor or in the living room. The host communicated well. Overall, it was a nice place and I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Cape Breton.

Every thing was absolutely perfect.
The location, the setting and the accommodation.
If you are going to Cape Breton this would be your best choice.
Beautiful serene setting. Convenient to Cape Breton. We were here to take in some of the Celtic Colours and it worked well. Just a note I would add for some it might matte is that larger bedroom is up several steps.
