About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachfront 4 bedroom home directly on the Mira River

The home features two spacious primary bedrooms located at opposite ends of the cottage, offering guests plenty of privacy. There is also a bedroom with bunk beds and a smaller fourth bedroom with a double bed.

The photos show the entire home. Although it may appear to have two separate sections, it is one building connected by an interior hallway, and guests have the entire cottage to themselves.

In the left wing of the cottage:
Bedroom #1: This spacious primary suite features a queen bed, sofa bed, walk-in closet, 50-inch TV, work desk/table, and a three-piece ensuite with a shower.

At the opposite end of the cottage, on the upper level:
•Bedroom #2: Located next to Bedroom #3, this room features bunk beds.
•Bedroom #3: This spacious primary bedroom features a king-size bed, 50-inch TV, work desk, and private balcony.
•Main Bathroom: Located near Bedrooms #2 and #3, the main bathroom features a large glass-enclosed shower and a jetted bathtub.

On the main level:
•Bedroom #4: This smaller bedroom features a double bed.
•A powder room.
•A laundry room for your convenience.
•A fully equipped kitchen that opens into the inviting living room, which features a wood-burning fireplace.
•A large dining table.
•A 50-inch TV.

Outdoor:
The true jewel of the property is its incredible outdoor living space. Guests can enjoy a large deck, lounge chairs, an outdoor dining table, a private dock and beach, a children’s playset, and plenty of open space for lawn games and family fun.

We are thrilled to offer our guests the use of two kayaks for exploring the beauty of the Mira River. Kayaks are used at your own risk, and life jackets must be always worn while kayaking. Adult life jackets are provided; however, for your comfort and safety, we recommend bringing your own.

We also provide a selection of indoor and outdoor toys for children.

Our cottage is a wonderful winter getaway! The large outdoor firepit beside the deck is perfect for cozy winter fires. Indoor entertainment includes board games, a Nintendo system, a DVD player, and three 50-inch TVs—including a newly added TV on the main level that is not yet shown in the photos. Of course, guests can also settle in and relax beside the indoor wood-burning fireplace.

We are located within a short drive of downtown Sydney and the Port of Sydney, Two Rivers Wildlife Park, Mira Gut Beach, the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, Louisbourg Lighthouse, Kennington Cove Beach, Ben Eoin Golf Course and Ski Resort, and many other Cape Breton attractions.
Black Line and Spoon Cottage is the perfect home base for your Cape Breton adventures—and a memorable destination all on its own!

**Please note: No smoking and no parties or large gatherings allowed. The dock is seasonal and goes up mid-June to end of August/early September, weather depending.**

I honestly cannot say one bad thing. We rented the chalet for 4 days and our experience was fantastic. The owners were prompt in responding to any question we had. The view was absolutely incredible. We loved it! We will rent again.

Amazing property!

This home is not only beautiful, but it is kept immaculate. We were so comfortable and happy here. The host, Catherine, answered any question that I had, fast to communicate back, and gave us a great list of info and any instructions we needed. I would stay here again and again if I were to visit this area again. Perfect stay, well, except that it wasn't long enough. Thank you so much for having us Catherine!

Paradise by the river

Our stay here was simply delightful. The house and property are beautiful and we couldn’t have been more pleased - except for the uncooperative weather. Despite the weather, however, we were able to relax and enjoy our time here. The property is located within an easy drive to Sydney, Cape Breton and coastal sites. We enjoyed exploring the area, the wildlife sanctuary and coming home to such a beautiful and serene setting overlooking the Mira river. We grilled, we kayaked and we had a great time. We gathered twigs to start a fire, but the wind and rain kind of nixed those plans. The place was immaculate and had everything we needed for our 5-day stay. Catherine was very attentive and responsive. I would definitely stay here again should I be fortunate enough to come again to Nova Scotia. This was our first time here and we are very glad we chose this place as one of the stops on our journey!

Vor dem Aufenthalt war die Antwortzeit etwas länger, vorOrt jedoch innerhalb einer halben Stunden.Da wir in der Woche zuvor in einem anderen Haus weiter südlich waren, konnten wir die Gastgeber recht gut vergleichen. Dieses Haus machte den Eindruck, dass es sich eher um ein Business handelt, daher war die Kommunikation eher geschäftlich...
Es waren sehr kalte Tage, an denen wir dort waren
sogar der Fluss war eingefroren
