Absolutely love staying here to enjoy the fall colours and the Celtic colours music festival! A perfect location for hiking as well. The house was sweet and clean and a perfect base.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The layout of the house worked really well for our family of five (two adults and three children), and we appreciated the convenience of such a short walk the beach. Beds were comfy, kitchen had what we needed to make several meals, and it was helpful to be able to do laundry, too! Definitely recommend.

Sweet Cabin

2 moms traveling with adult daughters found this cabin to be a wonderful place to stay that fit our needs perfectly. So close to Cape Breton Highlands National Park for hiking and wonderful restaurants nearby to try. We enjoyed our time here exploring the private beach and playing the games provided. Angela and her family were fantastic hosts!
