Beautiful home on the lake

This property exceeded our expectations. Very well organized and clean with amazing views of Bras D'Or lake. Inside feels much bigger than the photos suggest with the entire downstairs serving as a separate living area. Beds were very comfortable. We loved having morning coffee on the deck and watching movies at night. Saw two Bald Eagles at the lake front on day 1!

This place was absolutely amazing. The property was very clean and fully furnished with all the necessary items. The bedding was very comfortable. The property was also perfect. We actually cut down a little on our sightseeing because we wanted to enjoy the property more. I actually think I'm going to build a three season room based off of this properties design. You can't go wrong with staying here. It is very roomy and conveniently located to both sides of Cape Breton.

Superb house with everything that you need god a relaxing break. Children’s toys were a nice touch to entertain our child. The patio and sunroom with table was excellent for dinner and drinks late into the night overlooking the lake. Garden furniture and grounds were a great touch for playing. Beds are very comfortable anx a full kitchen with everything you would need. We were 6 adults and a child and we all loved it. Superb

Spectacular home, fantastic view

We had an incredible stay at this property with our infant and our parents. The home was clean, well stocked, large and comfortable. It was everything we needed and more to enjoy our Cape Breton escape! We particularly enjoyed the screened in dining room where we could enjoy meals and relax with all the pleasures of outside, without the bugs!

Perfect getaway!

We were only there for two nights but this is a place I would rent for a longer stay. It was perfect. Very clean and loved the way the place was decorated. Had some toys for my 5 yr old and the kids loved playing air hockey. Kitchen was spacious and the sunroom had an amazing view. Very short drive to Baddeck.

Our family loved this stay. The screened-in porch was hands down our favorite place to be in the house, but the kitchen was easy to cook in and the 3 different toilets were super helpful for our bigger crew! Plenty of grass to play soccer and a lovely little beach for skipping rocks and seeing tiny jellyfish and sunsets. We enjoyed the little ferry to get to Little Narrows, the pastries at Farmers Daughter, and the food and live music at the Folk n Frolic. We also really enjoyed the Highland Village museum, which is perhaps 15 minutes away. I’d stay here again for sure. Very clean and beds very comfy. Wonderful home base for lots of things. Thanks so much for helping us successfully wrap up an amazing Nova Scotia adventure.

This cottage is amazing. We were travelling with a toddler and the toys were a huge hit. Private beach - where else do you have that. Loved the sunroom. We spent most of our time out there. Plenty of room for 6 adults and a very active toddler. Highly recommend this cottage. Thanks.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew

Host profile image
Originally from London, Canada we fell in love with Cape Breton. With so much to offer all year-round, our home is centrally located to enjoy all that Cape Breton has to offer. When spending time at our cottage, we explore the area, take in the local dining and seafood, hike in the Highlands National Park, golf at the world class courses and otherwise just enjoy time “away” from the business of the world.
