Peaceful Getaway

Great location! Super staff and owners. Wonderful mountain trail and short walk to a “postcard” rocky beach. Simple accommodations but has everything you need in a quiet wooded setting!

Perfect Getaway

My wife and i found this to be a perfect little cabin in the North woods. It is in a quiet little camp. Great place to relax, when exploring, the Cabot Trail.

Great Cape Breton Hide-away

We had a great time at the cottages - friendly, helpful hosts, great location - 20 minutes to Cape Smokey. The cottages are comfy and well appointed. Neat location in the woods, especially in the winter.

Clean, comfortable, private, cabin, easy access Cabot Trail

Trailside cabins are set back from road, in a private setting. Interiors are spotlessly clean, efficient with everything you need, nicely decorated. Private access path to rocky ocean front. Very accomodating owners.
