We loved our stay! Very clean and had everything we needed. Great beachy decor. Quick drive to bakery and convenience store, and Cheticamp restaurants & shops. Our fav part was the short trail with access to the beach.

Amazing cottage. Located very close to a private beach, where you can swim in the ocean! Close to Aucoin bakery and the gypsum mines and lakes; another must-do swim spot. Host was very nice and informative. Cottage had everything you needed and was very clean. Would 100% stay here again!

The Sunset cottage was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is wonderfully decorated, close to the village and the amazing bakery down the road. The private beach was a huge bonus as well. Loved it there!

This was one of the best rentals we have ever had (and we've had a lot!). Highly recommend that you book now if it is available! It has everything you need to have a very comfy, cozy, clean stay. It's in a quiet place, near a little beach, and near a wonderful bakery. Great location; central to all of Chéticamp, just a few mins drive away. You can tell that the owners have put a lot of thought, time, and energy into the place. It was perfect!

Our second time staying here. This wonderful cottage just outside Cape Breton Highlands National Park makes a perfect launching point into exploring the area. Pet friendly is important for us and this is a great spot to bring your pup. The beach is just a few minutes away by walking is beautiful at sunrise and sunset. We spent a few early evenings just floating in the waves, relaxing and enjoying the scenery.Cottage was clean and well stocked on our arrival. Our five night stay was wonderful, relaxingand without issue. The kindness and hospitality of the whole area is amazing. The host gave numerous suggestions of area attractions which were all spot on. We definitely plan to return in the future.

Lovely place to stay on the west coast of the island

Wonderful place to stay. Great location, very comfy and well appointed. We had a wonderful time spending 6 days using this as our home base while exploring all over the highlands park. Will definitely stay here again when we return to Cape Breton.return
