Great place, better than a hotel!

We had a lovely stay in Chéticamp! The unit is so clean and very comfortable. We felt right at home. The area is amazing. MANY beautiful hiking trails and a short drive to pleasant bay for some whale watching tours. The drive between Chéticamp and Pleasant Bay is beautiful and scenic. Georgina’s home helped to make our first visit to Cape Breton a great experience.

We loved our stay in Cheticamp at Georgina's place. The unit was incredibly clean and comfortable, and located right on the Main St. of Cheticamp, close to everything. It is pet-friendly, and we had our two cats with us. Georgina was an amazing host and we wished we could have stayed longer. She even had homemade fudge waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. She has another unit upstairs in the same house and another entire house for rent on the same property. We stayed in the lower unit. All are available for rent, apparently. Highly recommend this place for a stay in Cheticamp. Great value and host.

Fantastic accommodations for a family. Everything you need . Great location, spotless and easy check in process. Don’t let the idea of staying in a basement fool you. It was bright and comfortable . Heat pump keeps the place warm or cold, whatever you like. Would highly recommend.

We where overwhelmed with the nice and so clean apartment. There was also a book with all things to do in the area, and the history of chéticamp. We where with 4 kids. The rooms are big enough, good beds for 6 people. You can not get a better stay.

Clean, bright, well stocked unit for family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the basement unit. The unit was spotless, well supplied with everything we needed and in a great location to explore local sights. The bedroom with 2 beds was great for our children (no bunk beds- no arguing over who gets which bunk!). The living space was cozy with an open concept into the kitchen which was just perfect. We appreciated the ease of check in and flexibility in the check out. Thanks so much for a stress free getaway!

Great spot!

This was an excellent spot! Top notch in every way. Everything seemed brand new and if anyone else had ever stayed there, there was no evidence of it The location is also perfect- right at the start of Chetticamp boardwalk and close to the grocery store as well as the restaurants and shops. Georgina was very attentive in responding to emails and the information she leaves for her guests is most entertaining and helpful. All around 100%

About the host

Hosted by Georgina Aucoin

Please see binder inside the house entitled "Things to do/see in Cheticamp".
I have put this binder together while I had extra time during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Why they chose this property

This property is very important to me because it is in the area where I was born & raised.

I bought this property in 2017 from Emilie Burns, who lived next door to us when we were brought up. She sold her house to me because she was moving to a Nursing Home. Her house is now also being rented out as a vacation home under the name "Waterfront Cheticamp Vacation Home".

I decided to build a 2nd house in 2020-2021 on Emilie's property because I was looking for a project for retirement. This 2nd house is behind Emilie Burns' house. It is rented out as a vacation home under the name "Sunset & Water View Cheticamp Vacation Home - Units 1 & 2".

What makes this property unique

You can go outside and see Amazing Sunsets & Magnificient View of Cheticamp Harbour (these are only partially visible from inside the unit because unit is downstairs)

Pet friendly

On main road, withing walking distance of boardwalk, restaurants, stores, hospital...

Close to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park

Situated on the world-famous Cabot Trail

Close to two world-renowned golf courses in Inverness (Cabot Links & Cabot Cliffs)
