About this property

3 Bdrm Cottage near Baddeck and St. Ann's 1 hour to Inverness

The ROOST is a bright and cheery, fully equipped cottage in the heart of Cape Breton. With views of the Bras D’or from inside and outside - you won't want to leave. But if you do, the cottage is close to amenities, shopping, tourist attractions, golf, nature and centrally located to all of the treasures Cape Breton has to offer - Nothing is farther than a day trip away.

The Master Bedroom has a Queen bed and private balcony over looking the Bras D'or. The 2nd (Queen) & 3rd (2 twins) bedrooms feel like you are nestled in the treetops. All of the beds are super comfortable with quality linens leaving you well rested.

The living room is equipped with WIFI and a smart tv with satellite and blu ray with an assortment of movies. The cottage also has oodles of board games for kids and adults. We also have a sample of CD's of local artists for you to enjoy, but the stereo is bluetooth so you can still enjoy your own music.

The spacious kitchen is ideal to cook a large meal with the entire family helping out. It is fully equipped with everything you could need - including lobster pot! Added bonus - we have our own "lobster guy"! During lobster season he can bring a fresh catch right to your door!

Need to do a load of laundry, no problem - we've got you covered!

Upon booking, we can offer you suggestions on what to do and where to eat and recommend day trips appropriate for your group and budget.

The ROOST is Pet Friendly, however there is an additional cleaning charge

If you are interested in staying on a day that is blocked, please let us know. These dates have been set aside for our amazing housekeeper so that we can be flexible with her schedule.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Blanchard

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 with 2 young daughters. We live and work in northern Ontario surrounded by wilderness where we spend most of our time outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We visited Cape Breton for the first time in 2015 and fell in love. So much so that we came back as often as possible and we will continue to visit as often as work allows us to run away. We have made many great friends and as lovely as it is to spend time with them we really wanted to have our own place when we came. We searched for the right property for a few years and finally found The ROOST. It is in a perfect location for when we are on holiday and it will be perfect for when we finally retire.

What makes this property unique

Big Harbour Rd is a dead end road and it is really quiet, but still close to town. On our first visit to the house we saw 5 deer and a few bald eagles which we really enjoyed watching.
