Everything was excellent. Had everything we needed and was very clean. Super cute accomodation, well decorated. Only ever so slight negative is that the sofa bed is not very comfortable for adults but most sofa beds aren't so that wasn't a surprise. Very happy with our stay!

I’m sorry the sofa bed wasn’t as comfortable as you’d hoped. We’ve added a 2½-inch gel foam topper to improve it, but as with most sofa beds, it may not offer the same comfort as a standard bed.”

I would stay here again in a heartbeat. We like having an entire building to ourselves, it was quiet and the finishes were really nice. Pull-out couch was comfortable and the bedroom upstairs is so nice it has me wanting to change my own bedroom.

Perfect spot

This was a great location; the owners thought of everything one might need. Everything looked new! The fridge is a little small if you were staying for a longer time but it was adequate for a couple of days. We met Shelly and she was friendly and welcoming.

Lovely, will be back

Walkable to a small downtown. “Centrally located” as a home base, still requires a lot of daily driving to explore all of the cape. Quiet, private, and comfortable. The yellow unit has a living room downstairs that eliminates the feeling of just living in one room. Can enjoy your evening, then go upstairs to bed. Loved our stay.

Theme added to wonderful stay.

This property is not just newer and clean, it had many little decorative touches and added surprises that added to our stay in this quaint town. The two levels were plenty of space for our family of four to feel comfortable. Shelly made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks!

A beautiful home, even better than the photographs. We loved our stay and Shelly has done a wonderful job of making it functional and comfortable. There are lots personal touches in the decor that add to the seaside vibe without cluttering the home.The location is perfect. A short walk onto Baddeck main street, with restaurants, shops and the harbour. A great place to stay. We wished we'd booked another few days.

Spotless, new, close to amenities

This is a well-kept, spotless property. We stayed in the yellow lighthouse cottage and would highly recommend it. The bed and pillows upstairs are very comfortable. My son slept downstairs on the sofa bed but did not find it comfortable. It was nice having two separate spaces after spending all day, every day together. It's the perfect central location if travelling to Cheticamp or Ingonish. Some very good restaurants in Baddeck - Highwheelers Cafe, Tom's Pizza, the Lynwood Inn. If you are walking, it is a bit of a hike uphill from main street to the cottages.
