We had an excellent and relaxing weekend stay in this beautiful house! A full kitchen with BBQ, lots of space, comfortable beds and a beautiful yard are just a few of the things that made this space so special for our family. We hope to return again next year!

The house was very clean, well-organized, and stocked with great amenities. We really enjoyed our time overall. The only issues we encountered were the lack of outdoor garbage and compost bins and low water pressure in the upstairs bathroom. Overall, I highly recommend renting this house!

Great spot, killer porch, some beds were comfy, others less so. Living room isn’t very comfortable when we had a rainy day and wanted to curl up with a movie. Otherwise it was everything we needed.

We had a great stay on the river. Beautiful, quiet location. Nova Scotia is a must see pictures don't do it justice. House was clean and well stocked.

Girls Trip

We had a very good time. Only issue was a power outage (not the owners fault), but only this property. We contacted NS Power ourselves. There were no flashlights/candles, or a way to contact the owner (no internet without power). An emergency phone number was not provided. We did meet a very helpful neighbor who loaned us flashlights & candles. The owner did bring flashlights the next morning and left us a gift card for the inconvenience.

Great spot, good fishing opportunity near by, close to local stores and bakerys. Great communication from our host. Nice house, very clean upon arrival, kitchen stocked with everything you need. Nice bathrooms and living area. The covered front porch lookes over the margaree river.

Amazing!!

We were very pleased with our accommodations. The location is well suited for travel to nearby communities and the Co-op store is a great source for shopping. It was nice to have family there for thanksgiving and friends join us for some entertainment during Celtic Colours. The foliage was not as expected, but this was due to "Fiona" (the storm). We recommend this location to anyone interested in staying in Cape Breton! Thank you for such a plesent stay.

Wonderful!

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay here very much! It was great to be so close to the Cabot trail. Lots of space, we cooked our meals and enjoyed the porch and walked across the street to the river when we saw a beaver. We would definitely stay here again :)
