The location was perfect for us. We were able to spend two days on the Cabot Trail and one day in Baddeck. The setting was so beautiful that we spent significant time enjoying their waterfront. The accommodations are well kept, clean, and spacious. It was a great stay.

6 days on the Island

Really wonderful place to stay and visit the Island. Don’t forget to go to Fairy Hole and if you can drive and camp one night at Meat Cove, do it!Great an easy communication with owner. An umbrella for protection against the sun could be added to fully enjoy the peaceful mornings by the water. We enjoyed to see the bird Islands at the horizon.Thanks for everything!

Magical Place

Every one of us loved it here - grown ups, kids, and dog. We had many great adventures in a short time and wished we could have stayed longer. The kids and the dog loved roaming the beach right outside and swimming in such perfectly clear and calm water was wonderful. Well equipped apartment and helpful friendly hosts. Recommended and we hope to be back some day.

The location is a bit of a drive down a long gravel road but once there the views from the large windows of this well equipped and comfortable place make it worthwhile. We had a nice stay 3 night stay and would highly recommend it. Only minor things I would point out is there was no shower gel or shampoo provided nor was there anywhere in the shower to put soap and shampoo while showering.

Good location to get the Cape Breton feeling..

Space is large and even though you have several miles on unpaved road the drive was pleasant and right next to the water. Do the drive through and the park which takes all day with stops. Don’ Miss the Baddeck lobster supper. The people’s of NS and PEI are really very friendly and polite. A beautiful country.

East Coast Tour

First time to Cape Breton and this location was perfect for all the sites we wanted to see. The property was also perfect for our dog. Private so she could be off leash and lots of beach to walk on. The unit itself is very spacious and well equipped if you want to cook your own meals. Would definitely recommend.

There were holes in the wall,,it was supposed to be a private beach,,But the blinds were on backwards..I ask him to change it and he said no.. They let their dogs run loose on the property and use the bathroom on the lawn.. The shower was deadly hot at times and had very little water pressure.. I would rate this a 1

Lovely setting for a quiet getaway for nature lovers. The big picture windows look out onto the lake, where you will see various kinds of sea fowl - we loved the great blue herons. The house itself was impeccably clean, spacious and comfy.

Breathtaking Views and Peaceful Bliss

You could not ask for a more serene location to disconnect from a busy life. No neighbours to see or hear. Lobster fisherman out on a morning routine manoeuvring on an ocean of waves. Like a real life painting. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The place is beautifully appointed with everything you need to get by. The peace you find here is so hard to come by these days. A 9km drive off the paved roads assures absolute privacy and relaxation for the mind and soul. Thank you Richard. We will be back.
