Super sweet little home. Off the path a little bit, but private and quiet with all the amenities and then some. Board games, fire pit, piano, all set for a cozy evening after some hiking!

There were 4 adults enjoying the fall in pleasant bay. From the communication, to the end it was a wonderful addition to our trip. The house had everything you needed to set up 3 days exploring the area. Niki has a wonderful home that has maintained the look of the original family home with upgraded amenities. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked and allowed you to bring in some groceries and cook meals with no problem. Thanks Niki for leaving some firewood. We had a nice happy hour around the fire!! All the things you suggested in your advanced material was spot on! Thank you!

Charming and cozy

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated Niki’s attention to detail. The cottage is in a quiet location in the small village of Pleasant Bay which lives up to its name. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, and we had everything we needed to feel at home.

Comfy and close to everything in northern Cape Breton

We are a family of 4 and wanted to be close to hiking, beaches, whale watching, and Cheticamp. We got all that and more. The Old Salt Cottage was a cozy, comfortable retreat for us and an excellent home base for adventuring!

Lovely escape

We had a lovely stay at the Pleasant Bay cottage. It is beautifully set up and charming. It has the best appointed kitchen of all the VRBOs we have stayed at. Niki was extremely responsive and answered all our questions, as well as providing some great local info. I highly recommend the cottage.

Such a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and well equipped. We spent a lot of time on the deck and loved it - a humming bird and chipmunk visited regularly and we could enjoy the heat without getting burnt. Unfortunately all the trails in Nova Scotia were closed (fire risk) but we swam a lot at Red River beach. We had a great week.

lovely home in a quiet neighborhood

We had a great time on our vacation! Niki was an excellent host who responded really quickly and provided very clear information. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and we loved the rural location. The local beach was perfect and we were able to explore most of the Cabot Trail via several day trips.

Quaint, well appointed farmhouse with modern plumbing fixtures and appliances. Centrally located to Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Rooms are small but comfortable. Everything you need is there. Lots of attention has been given to small details. Private location on low traffic road very close to the Cabot Trail. Very quiet and homey.

Convenient location, cozy cottage

We enjoyed our stay in the very cute Old Salt Cottage! It was very convenient to adventures in and north of Cape Breton park. Beds were comfy. Cottage is older but well maintained and freshly updated. Gas, groceries, and other convenience stores were not as close, but we were warned (it was not hard to remember to get stuff while we were out adventuring on the Cabot Trail). We would absolutely stay here again!

August - family of 5 (children 5-11 y/o)

It was a great stay. Excellent location just off the Cabot trail with access to the park and not a long drive to Ingonish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore this beautiful part of our country. The property exceeded expectations. Make sure to fuel up in cheticamp. If you are arriving via cheticamp the coop grocery store there has anything you may want.

This is truly a character home that feels like Cape Breton and so close to excellent hiking trails and spectacular scenery. It was well equipped with generous extras, quiet but close to a very good restaurant and general store. I would love to come back and spend more time.

Lovely clean home and accommodated six people very comfortably. Everything we required was there. The owner couldn't have been more helpful in providing directions, ideas for things to do (loved the secret beach spot!) and lots of hints and tips. Would love to go back one day!

My favourite place on the Cabot Trail

I have been visiting the Cabot aTrail now for close to 20+ years and by far my favourite place on the Trail is Pleasant Bay! The scenery here is amazing, water, mountains, rivers, whales, eagles, open vistas and tons of fresh air! Our group stayed at the Old Salt Cottage and we will be back again, and again! If you are looking for a truely Canadian experience - this exceptional clean, cozy cabin - surrounded by mountains is as good as it gets! Make sure to take a moment and soak it all in from the front porch...you may just never want to leave. Thanks Niki for allowing us to stay at your amazing place! As mentioned, we’ll be back...hopefully sooner than later
