Relaxing Stay

The cottage was well maintained, portable air conditionning was sufficient to keep us cool. Directly on the Cabot Trail, close to Ingonish beach and Smokey MOntain gondola. Our unit had partial view on the bay, but enough to enjoy beautiful sunsets.

"wood" you stay here?

Although the room was clean and comfortable it was very dated The property was poorly kept with decking that needed a lot of attention. Beautiful views were obstructed by overgrowth. This hotel is below par for the area and the price.

Its a thoughtful arrangement. Such as klennex and coffee pods. Many details added to an older cottage, makes it very cozy. We love the view.

We had a fabulous stay. The property offers beautiful views. The room was clean and cozy. The wine glasses were a nice touch after drinking wine out of paper/plastic cups at our other accommodations. :) The staff were super helpful & friendly. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. We ordered several apps for a late night snack and had the breakfast. Both were delicious!
