About this property

Nanook’s Den Escape to the beauty of the mountains Internet, GBTV

We have decided to continue our winter rates until June 1st – Book Now!"
Nestled amidst the majestic peaks, this secluded home offers a serene retreat away from village life. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of mountains, it provides unparalleled tranquility and a direct connection to nature's wonders.

Step outside, and you'll find yourself within easy reach of hiking trails that wind through pine-scented forests and lead to breathtaking viewpoints. The crisp mountain air invigorates as you explore these paths, each step a journey into the untouched wilderness.

Come winter, the landscape transforms into a playground for snow enthusiasts. With snowmobiles revving nearby, adventure beckons just beyond your doorstep. Imagine the thrill of gliding through pristine snowfields, the quiet thrill of discovering hidden valleys blanketed in winter's embrace.

Back at the house, the views of snow-capped peaks or vibrant autumn foliage, depending on the season. Inside, cozy spaces await, where evenings are spent recounting the day's adventures or simply soaking in the peace that only a mountain retreat can offer.

This home near the mountains is not just a place to live; it's a haven for those who cherish the harmony of nature and the thrill of outdoor exploration, where every season brings its own magic and every day promises a new adventure.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

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 .

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!

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.

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.
