-Over 2,300 sq ft
-Fully equipped four-season home

This waterfront 4 seasons home is designed to accommodate a large family, two families or two couples but is just as suited to welcome anyone who seeks an escape from the city. Our home is perfect for both a summer or winter gateway.
The home has two very large master bedrooms situated on opposite end of the cottage. It also has a third bedroom with bunk beds and a 4th smaller bedroom with a double bed.
The picture you see is of the entire home. It is one building and both sides of the home are connected with a hallway. You get the entire building/home to yourself.
On the upper level you will find:
-Master Bedroom #1: king size bed, 50 inch TV and a balcony.
-Bedroom #2:(situated next to Master bedroom #1): bunk beds
-Main Bathroom: features a large glass shower and jet bathtub
-Bedroom #3: A second large master suite is situated at the opposite end of the house above the garage and features a queen bed, bunk beds, a sofa bed, walk-in closet, a 3-piece ensuite with a shower and a 50 inch TV.
- Bedroom#4: The fourth bedroom is a small room located on the main level and features a double bed.
There is a laundry room for your convenience.
The kitchen is fully equipped and opens up to the living room with a wood burning fireplace and 50 inch TV. There is a large dining table to seat all guests.
The jewel of this property is the outdoor living space featuring a dock, private beach, oversized deck, a children playset, and plenty of room for fun lawn games!
We are thrilled to offer our guests access to two brand new kayaks for them to explore the beauty of the Mira River. Use kayaks at your own risk. Life jackets must be worn while kayaking. Life jackets are provided but for your comfort and safety we recommend bringing your own.
We are pleased to also provide indoor and outdoor toys for the children and lawn games for adults.
Our home is also a great winter gateway! We have a large fire pit next to the deck perfect for outdoor winter fires. We supply board games, a Nintendo, DVD, and three 50 inch TVs. Of course, you can also cozy up and relax by our indoor wood burning fire pit.
We are located a short drive away from downtown Sydney/ Port of Sydney, Two Rivers Wildlife Park, Mira Gut beach, Louisbourg Fortress and Lighthouse, Kennington Cove Beach, Ben Eoin gold course and Ski Resort, and many more attractions.
Black Line and Spoon Cottage is the perfect home base for all of your adventures and an experience in itself!
**Please note: No smoking and no parties or large gatherings allowed. The dock is seasonal and goes up mid-June to early September, weather depending. Patio furniture is subject to change based on wear and tear**

About the host
Hosted by Catherine
Welcome to Black Line & Spoon cottage! It is named after the lyrics from “Song for the Mira” written in 1973 by Allister MacGillivray. It is a celtic folk song that is well known by Cape Bretoners. The lyrics speak of the singer’s longing for the Mira River and his desire to return.
My husband was born and raised in the area. I am from Quebec and always loved vacationing in Cape Breton. We are pleased to be able to share our little piece of paradise with VRBO guests.
We hope that you enjoy your stay and the beauty & serenity of the Mira River and Cape Breton.
I am bilingual and happy to assist our guests in French. I am bilingual and will be happy to assist you in French if needed.
