Winter Stay

Overall a good stay. Very homey feel. Good location not too far from town. We stayed during a very windy few days and it was drafty inside but still warm. So although I imagine that is not the norm, it would be something to consider if travelling with a baby during the winter months. Unit is attached to a garage that’s used by owner so the space is not 100% private if that’s a consideration for future guests. Winston and Susie are very nice people and have a well stocked unit.

I have progressing mobility issues. The property is mainly one level, with two tiny steps to the bathroom and a tiny stop to the front door. Shower enclosure, no tub. Rustic, charming property on a small pond with ducks and other wildlife. Owner has done all the renovations to the property himself. The bathroom counter and kitchen counters are slightly raised, which I found very comfortable. Nicely furnished deck with BBQ, which overlooks the duck pond. Patio doors open onto the deck. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. I will definitely stay there again.

Like staying in a flee market stall! 😁

Everything was good but the unit was very cluttered. Almost every flat surface was covered with bric-a-brac. Wifi was not working when we were there so had to have our mobiles on roaming

Rustic nook on a brook/pond

It is a rustic cottage. Everything we needed was on site and the owner very friendly and helpful gave us advice on where to eat. There a nice covered deck and we enjoyed watching the birds eat at the feeder. Also, it's very convenient to the beautiful Highlands of Cape Breton.

Great time.

We enjoyed our stay. If you love antiques this is the place for you. Found the bed a little small as it was just a double. The hosts were friendly and made sure our stay was comfortable.

Nook in the Brook

We joked that the cabin should have been called bird sanctuary in the nook . Very peaceful and we observed many types of woodland and aquatic birds as well as beavers .

Rustic

The property is quaint, but for a longer stay there are a few issues. There is a need for more storage spaces for your clothes, and curtains to eliminate the light. The host couldn't be more welcoming and helpful.He even supplied us with canoes for no charge, exceptional!.

Cabin had AC. A beautiful deck with a lake view. Deck had an awning on which you were able to watch ducks during the day and listen to bull frogs and watch beavers swim in the lake in the evening.

Lovely stay

Staying while working in sydney- it has absolutely everything we need and the property is beautiful. Cozy and warm in the winter and the deck is so spacious with an awesome view which would make it so great in the summer as well. Winston and Susie made us feel so welcomed and added so many sweet touched. We felt very safe here and our dogs are also very comfortable. Easy drive to the hospital for nurses!! Can’t say enough and will stay again in the future!
