Very clean property. Everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Enjoyed the short walk to the private beach. Close to many hiking trails and amenities in Cheticamp. Would definitely recommend this property and would return without hesitation

Peaceful and Beautiful
Absolutely stunning views near by, 20 minutes to the skyline trail (gorgeous drive the time flies). The host has really put love and effort into all the little details of this place. It was extremely cozy and welcoming to come back to at the end of the day. Would 1000% stay again! Suggestions to make it even better would be to have some soap available for the shower, increase water pressure if at all possible (it’s not a deal breaker). Very happy we had the opportunity to stay here. The host is also very talented with her macramé skills, which you can enjoy throughout the home.

The property is cozy and very clean. The cottage is well stocked and we liked the coffee bar area. We loved the location including being so close to town, the park entrance, and the delicious bakery. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful stay in Cheticamp
We loved this beautifully decorated, contemporary and comfortable place, which was a perfect base for hiking the eastern side of Cape Breton Highlands National Park - just a 5min drive to the visitor centre. The cottage is in a peaceful neighbourhood just a bit off the main road, and everything was very comfortable - lots of light, comfy beds, and a great couch and rocking chair for reading. Very well appointed kitchen where we enjoyed cooking dinners - it was so pleasant we weren’t even tempted to go out to eat. The place is beautifully decorated too, lots of nice attention to detail. Great communication with hosts as well. All around a wonderful stay!

Cape Breton escape
Perfect location for a quiet getaway. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The private beach was a five-minute walk away. The nearby bakery was fifteen minutes away on foot and was excellent. Restaurants and various craft outlets a few minutes away by car. Right on the doorstep of the Highlands National Park with its breathtaking trails. A wonderful place to spend a week.

Perfect!
My husband and I, as well as our two dogs, absolutely loved this home and had a hard time leaving! We have stayed at numerous rentals and this one felt more like home than many! Loved the fact that we could walk right to the water, and the views of the surrounding hills and the peak of the ocean from the house was very special. The home itself is so warm and welcoming, and has everything you need. And spotless...so a special thanks to Melissa's mom for that! We did not have the best weather but made the most of our time there and actually loved our drives along the coast when the ocean was a bit angry! Of course the Cabot Trail was on our list, and though the day we did a drive over to Ingonish it started out cloudy and foggy, the other side of the island was beautiful with blue skies! On one of our drives, I was thrilled to find the campground in Inverness that I went to as a child with my family and never forgot, even though I was never sure of the location on Cape Breton! All in all, just magical. Thank you so much Melissa, we will never forget our time there! :)

Cozy Cottage
This property is lovely! Angela certainly attends to the details her guests will appreciate. Well cared-for front and back lawns, complete kitchen, super comfy sleeping, dining, and lounging areas. The cottage is located close to Cheticamp where many dining options are available. The private beach is certainly private which we LOVED. The location and bright cheery nautical decor helped create an oasis of tranquility from our busy lives. Definitely a Premiere host. We would stay here again if ever back up to Cape Breton from the USA!

A Cape Breton Gem!
Such a perfect spot to spend a week exploring Cape Breton. This home is charming, immaculate, and we had everything we needed. The location between Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the town of Cheticamp was very convenient. The Aucoin bakery just down the street was amazing! We stopped there several times picking up sandwiches and treats for our trips into the park. A must do hike is the Skyline Trail which is only about 20 minutes from the house. We also enjoyed our drive along the Cabot Trail to Ingonish. We did have two rainy days and we enjoyed visiting Les Trois Pignons to learn about rug hooking, the Freya and Thor folk art gallery, and the quirky Centre de la Micareme. There’s a short wooded pathway from the house to a private beach area and if you want to swim or catch an amazing sunset there’s also Le Buttereau Beach, a short drive from the house. Another recommended hike is the Gypsum Mine Lake trail which is only about a 5 minute drive from the house. Really enjoyed our stay!

Relaxing Cape Breton vacation
Great cottage and location. It had all everything you could have wanted. And the start of Cabot Trail just down the road. Really had a relaxing time. And great place for our dog. Huge yard for her to run around.
