À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

Maggie's Place on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island

Maggie's is a charming century-old 3-bedroom farmhouse on the Cabot Trail. It is located in Skir Dhu near Wreck Cove on the Atlantic Ocean side of Cape Breton Island. It includes numerous hiking trails, streams and two large ponds yet is close to numerous craft shops, restaurants and beaches. It is ideally located on the Cabot Trail between the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in the town of Baddeck.

Much like Maggie's, the community around it is very unique and it makes a great home-base while you visit the neighboring artisans (glass blowing, iron art, leather etc) or hike in the Highlands National Park. The house itself is built on a secluded knoll surrounded by mature silver Birch and sugar Maples. Maggie's has been carefully restored so as to keep its original charm yet is equipped with modern appliances, a fully equipped modern kitchen and high-speed Wifi. Walking trails on the property lead to two large pond, (Smith's Ponds) numerous streams and waterfall. There are many private and public beaches nearby. Kayaking, cafe's, a general store numerous artisan shops and an archery range are all nearby.

This part of Cape Breton was settled by Scottish homesteaders between 150 and 200 years ago. The son of the original settler, Angus Smith, built the house from wood cut, milled and planed by hand for his bride Maggie. Since she outlived her husband by many years the property became know as 'Maggie's Place'. We are proud to continue the tradition.

Guests will have the use of the entire house, including WIFI, modern appliances and cookware, dishes, linens and towels. Enjoy full use of the yard and trails on the property. There is a gas station nearby. Closest towns are Ingonish and Baddeck.

Belle maison ancienne trÚs bien située

Nous avons Ă©tĂ© charmĂ© par l’accueil de Uli et de sa jolie maison bien entretenue au fil des annĂ©es, situĂ©e dans un endroit trĂšs reposant. À quelques minutes de voiture d’une magnifique plage, la famille en a profitĂ© pour se reposer et aller Ă  la pĂȘche! Aussi l’emplacement Ă©tait parfaitement situĂ© pour aller visiter La Forteresse de Louisbourg (2h environ), le Parc National du Cap Breton (45 min.) ainsi que les boutiques d’artisans locaux Ă  proximitĂ© . Nous avons mĂȘme eu la chance de savourer les meilleurs homards de la rĂ©gion grĂące aux bons conseils de Uli. Les quatre journĂ©es passĂ©es Ă  Maggie’s place ont passĂ© trĂšs rapidement. Notre voyage en Nouvelle Ecosse n’aurait pas Ă©tĂ© complet sans arrĂȘter dans un endroit si accueillant et reposant pour toute la famille!

Wonderful location for visiting Cape Breton and especially the Cabot Trail! Uli was so kind to have a fire already going in the fireplace and we immediately felt welcomed and at home at Maggie's place. The peace and quiet and fall colors were beyond our expectations for this much needed get away for my husband and myself. We were very Blessed to have attended the first night of the Celtic Colours Festival in Port Hawkesberry.We had everything we needed at our fingertips and Uli is very responsive to any needs that we had or questions about the area.

We stayed here for 3 nights as a family (5 people). The location was good for us, though a bit far from amenities. The host (Uli) was very communicative. He advised us to stock up on supplies before arrival, which we did. Maggies is a pretty home in a lovely setting, surrounded by trees and set back from the road. It is an older home, charming and quirky so if you are the kind of person who prefers pristine and predictable surroundings, this may not be the place for you :) We had visited the Green Gables historic site a few days earlier and our kids said Maggies felt similar, but without the ropes to keep you from touching everything! They enjoyed dancing to the old-timey tunes on the crank-powered grammophone, and eating off real dishes on a real tablecloth (a nice change from chain motels). My husband's allergies (dust, smoke, fur etc) acted up a bit, I think just because it is such an old home. We did have a couple of small issues come up (e.g. a smoke alarm needing new batteries) and Uli was very responsive. Overall our experience here was positive and we will remember it fondly.

Wonderful stay

Maggie's place was better than we anticipated. We love old houses, and this one was a home run. The beautiful yard, the flowers, the quiet neighbourhood, the nicely restored old home was all there to make our pleasure. All the modern commodities were there too, which made our stay easy.The kids enjoyed Netflix while we read the old 50 years old magazines.Uri the owner made us feel like family. I would definitely go back if I have the chance.

Cathy and Uli have worked hard to add charm and comfort to Maggie's rustic farmhouse from a bygone era. It was a wonderful time to be there. So peaceful, set back from the road and surrounded by the beautiful Fall colours. Very nice to sit by the fire burning in the wood stove and enjoy one of the many interesting local history books.

Perfect cottage for family

When we arrived, 10:00pm, we met Uli (owner) and he had a fire already started in the wood stove. After a short chat and a walk around the cottage to show us how everything worked, Uli left us to go to bed after a days long drive to get to Cape Breton. The next morning, Uli delivered more firewood that lasted the duration of our stay. The cottage had everything that we needed. Beautiful morning sunrises.

Charming

We loved everything about Maggie's! The farmhouse was so cozy, warm and inviting with the old charm feel and supplied with everything needed. Uli's greeting made us feel right at home the moment we walked to the door. This was our first trip east and Uli had great tips for exploring and directions. Hurricane Lee put a damper on the hike to the waterfall but Uli was wonderful and took us on a hike along the waters edge that was simply amazing. Could not have asked for anything more! Thank You

UrgemĂŒtliches Haus mit Seele

Wir durften zu fĂŒnft eine Woche in „Maggies“ Zeit verbringen. Das Haus war fĂŒr uns soviel mehr als eine Unterkunft. Schon am Tag der Ankunft wurde uns die Geschichte des Hauses erzĂ€hlt und gleichzeitig das Haus zum WohlfĂŒhlen und vollstĂ€ndigen Nutzung ĂŒbergeben, egal ob Kamin, Aussenbereich oder das alte Grammophon. Maggies ist ein Haus mit Seele, es ist alt, es macht leise GerĂ€usche und alles ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Es ist ein Haus, mit all den zum Alter dazugehörigen Eigenschaften, perfekt zum Entschleunigen und genießen, und es passt fĂŒr uns genau in die herrlichen Landschaft des Cape Bretons. Uli als Gastgeber war immer eine Hilfe und hat uns mit seinen Tipps geholfen die Tage bestens zu nutzen. Vielen herzlichen Dank fĂŒr alles! Keiner von uns wird diese Zeit vergessen.

Enchanted cottage

We spent four nights at Maggie's Place, and it was just a dream. The host was gracious, and has preserved the historical integrity of the cottage. It had been his family's summer home. We went to a local dock and picked up lobsters from his niece, a lobster trapper. We warmed ourselves by the woodstove in the kitchen and listened to the Victrola! No hotel will ever be able to match the experience we enjoyed at this little home, nestled in the white birches on the Cabot Trail.

Maggie's Place post hurricane Fiona

Beautiful cottage in woods directly on Cabot Trail. Lovely antique filled 2 story residence with everything necessary for a relaxing stay. My one problem was that the description did not mention that the only heat comes from a wood burning kitchen stove. We stayed in the week directly after Fiona struck the Maritimes and were on PEI during the actual event, so Nova Scotia seemed much better to us, but the temperstures plummeted as we drove north in Nova Scotia and we were very cold the last 2 days. Ulli is a wonderful host and very congenial, caring and helpful. He had a great fire going when we arrived in the evening and it is not his fault that we could not get the large pieces of wood to burn. It was damp and would burn for a short while then go out. There were plenty of blankets and quilts but it was cold in the bedrooms and the bathrooms were icy. He provided electric heaters and if we had stayed longer than the 4 days, we would have used them. I spent a ton of time trying to get the fire to go at night and during the night to no avail, except once. My only negative is that I would have like to have known about the stove in advance. I would have been more prepared. AS it was, I used every piece of kindling, paper bags, carboard and most of my magazines to try to start the fire and get the logs to actually burn more than 10 minutes! That part was not fun but my daughter is autistic and cold, so I persevered. We ll had a very good time in a very unique place and beautiful place, so that is the important part. It was clean, well stocked with dishes and linens and full of history with a fabulous bookshelf. The trails were pretty covered from the hurricane that had just swept through but nothing compared to the destruction on PEI, so we thought it was great. The Cabot trail was clear and despite the National Park site saying everything was closed, we found the visitor center open and many trails were passable, plus we could hike directly up the highway 50 feet from our door to some beautiful sites. I would love to go back when it is not 3o degrees F and really explore the area more closely. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone interested in getting off the tourist carousel and really enjoying nature and sublime beauty.

Unusual experience.....

My plans took an unexpected turn....we had a sudden death in the family of a beautiful 20 year old niece....so I immediately headed home to the States. I contacted my wonderful hosts who couldn't have been more understanding. So I didn't make it to Skir Dhu...and I didn't see the property....but I can tell you that my communications with my hosts started immediately after my booking....they welcomed me prior to arrival....and offered to help me get familiar with the area...and when I told them I had to head home unexpectedly, they were most gracious and kind....and isn't that what really counts? Kindness....and these two are ten stars....A most sincere thank you to you both from me and my family...

A charming and authentic Cape Breton cottage home

Maggie’s place is a quirky historic wooden house, having been hand built 120 years ago. It is also very comfortable and well-equipped. We had everything we needed for our three night stay in Cape Breton, and very much enjoyed the local area with kayaking, whale watching and beaches in easy driving distance. A great place for a family break.

We arrived to this lovely original Cape Breton homestead and were swept back in time. The countryside is surrounded in beauty and the hospitality shown to us made us feel peaceful and welcome. Uli and his wife made a delicious apple pie made with the local apples from the area. Such a surprise and so delicious. We fell in love with all that this place had to offer and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for such a wonderful visit! This was not just a place to stay, it was an experience!
