Family Getaway
Unfortunately I was unable to attend this trip personally but my family went and had a great time. There were lots of outdoor activities available for couples and small groups. They remarked that it was very secluded, but with lots of Cape Breton close at hand. They felt the kitchen had everything they needed to prepare family meals. They enjoyed the fire pits, swimming, fishing and kayaks. Inside were plenty of spaces to socialize or find a quiet area away from the group.

Perfect getaway for family fun with some adventure
We had a wonderful stay at this large property! The highlights were the dock and 4 kayaks really close to the house and the awesome scenery and coves to explore from the water. We had a wonderful dinner with freshly caught mussels using the kayaks!
The kids were super excited about the movie theatre which was awesome and they used it a lot without any problems.
The place had everything we needed and Rob was very responsive and helpful.
As the property is in a trees area and close to the water, make sure to bring bug spray.
Other activities and towns were also easy to access by car. We did the Cabot trail and although the many views and beaches were spectacular, it is a long drive to do all in one day.

Kayaking Paradise
The islands in this sheltered cove made this waterfront scenic, calm and open to exploration by the four kayaks provided. Magical lagoons on either side were a big attraction to all.
With great swimming off the newer dock, the water was a popular spot. Care is needed to walk down the steep incline to the water in places, especially after a heavy rain.
The spacious cottage was perfect for the three families staying here and the ping pong table and media room were a great draw for entertaining all.
Kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of dishes, glassware, quality utensils and cutlery. The large table easily accommodated our group.
Any issues we had, were dealt with promptly by the property manager or owner.
Overall, our two weeks was a pleasant experience with many family memories made.

The good, the bad, and the ugly
First, the good - the location was fantastic - the property is on the water, there were 4 kayaks, and the ping pong table and theater room were nice. The bad - the owner provided check-in instructions that were missing a key digit to get into the lock box. The property manager did not show up to meet us as we were told and we could not reach him for an hour. The owner insisted that it was in the directions, which it was not. The weather for the trip was not ideal - there were "historic" rains for the first few days and then extreme heat - the house is equipped for neither. There is no A/C only three incredibly dirty fans which we had to take apart to clean ourselves so they would function. The ugly - the house is very musty inside and gets no cross breeze (the dated cloth furniture doesn't help) and the bugs around the house that get in through the screens were brutal - we left with about one hundred bug bites. The linens and towels in every room were all stained and need to be replaced - there was a large blood stain inside a pillow case in the master, which caused us to wash all of the bedding before going to sleep. Our friend slipped and fell in the main bathroom shower on the first night bruising her ribs because of the very old suctions on the shower mat and poor shower design. We called the property manager to ask about a tandem kayak but he never called back to check on her. Overall just not a great place to stay and needs much more upkeep and attention.

Great Property!
Super location very near the water, we took advantage of the kayaks and had beautiful paddles, nice that it was so close to the Cabot trail. House was great, so much room, nicely appointed. We had a great time in the game room when we had a rainy day.

lovely spot
The location is really beautiful. The lake is great, and the water in August was great for swimming. The house is not that close to the water though and there are stairs so if you have mobility issues it would be difficult. We found it a convenient spot for seeing Cape Breton and getting to restaurants/groceries as it's between Baddeck and Sydney.
You really are in the wilderness here. At night especially it's very dark and quiet - one night we heard animal sounds that were quite loud, I think they were owls.
Internet was very weak, pretty much unusable even for email. I wouldn't let this stop you though unless you really really need it for work or something and can't get by with cellular data (which worked fine). It might not always be so weak - there was a major Eastlink outage throughout Nova Scotia during our stay and this may have bogged down other providers as well.
The house is really great as well. The living room with huge windows in 3 directions is fantastic. And the movie theatre in the basement was a big hit as well, especially with the kids.
Property manager always replied within moments with any questions we had.
Thanks for a great stay!

A great thanksgiving getaway
Our family and friends had a lovely 4 days at this house in Otter Harbour. The location is beautiful, the house has amble room to relax and we felt very at home and comfortable. Everything we needed for a Thanksgiving feast was there. In addition, our dog loved being able to roam free on the property as we took several walks exploring the area. The fireplace is lovely, the space is open and great for sharing time with friends and family. The bathrooms are large and the basement was a lot of fun with ping pong and the movie theatre! The wifi was down, but we all needed a chance to unplug anyhow. It looks like lovely waters to explore by canoe/kayak in the summer, or to even snorkel!

Acres of rolling hills and trails and a stunning waterfront - would love to be there in the summer to swim in the pristeen water. The house is spacious and perfect for a larger family of group - so comfortable and well appointed. Mike, the property manager could not have been more helpful and friendly. We all loved every minute of our stay! Thank you!

Great base for exploring Cape Breton
As a party of four couples, we thoroughly enjoyed our week at this property. The owner was very responsive to questions ahead of our stay, and there was someone available locally to check that we had everything we needed. Most days we managed to balance heading out to see local attractions while still having time to swim, kayak, or explore the property itself. If you’re looking to visit Cape Breton, this is an ideal base and the cottage itself is comfortable and well equipped. Highly recommended!

Homey Retreat
The Otter Harbour home was exactly as described in the listing... Spacious, beautiful setting, secluded, etc. We loved using the kayaks to explore the various lagoons and islands. We also loved being able to sit on the deck overlooking the water in the evening. At night, our teens played ping pong and watched movies in the home theater while I (mom) took a bath in the soaking tub w/jets. So relaxing!
The home itself is lovely. It is perfectly appointed with everything you need - including wifi, media options, etc. The decor is a bit dated, but don't let that stop you. Beds are comfortable. The place is super clean. And it has clearly been well cared for. (Plus, the owners of the property have an extensive book collection spanning an impressive range of topics that we thoroughly enjoyed!)
This was our first visit to Nova Scotia. We were excited about touring Cape Breton, specifically the Cabot Trail and the Highlands Nat'l Park. So, we weren't quite sure where we should stay. This property is within driving distance for sure - the Cabot Trail is just 10-15 min away. However, it is important to know that the home is about 1.5-2 hours away from the national park and highlands. We did wonder if we should consider staying further north during our next visit since we loved hiking in the highlands... That said, groceries and restaurants were plentiful w/in a 20-30 min drive and we were happy w/our choice of Otter Harbour overall.

Perfect base to relax, explore, and play - family-friendly
We loved our stay at Otter Harbour. Clean and well appointed property with amenities that exceeded our expectations (games, books, in-home movie theatre, kayaks, trails nearby. We enjoyed the privacy of the house but found the location to be ideal for exploring other parts of Cape Bretton Island. The owners were responsive to our needs. Good choice for a family trip.
