RENTAL IS FOR EVENTS ONLY. WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SINGLE COTTAGE RENTALS.
Summer Snow is a privately owned cluster of cottages, support buildings, pleasure boats, sailboats and golf carts. It is not a commercial resort even though it can sleep from 24 to 45 guests depending on how many couples. It has held private events from 10 to over 250 people. We are located on the shores of the beautiful Bras d'or Lakes on Cape Breton Island, situated on 78 acres of pristine land with mountains, large green fairways, a large event center, commercial kitchen and an event hall that seats 75 to 100. We have a large 40 foot suspended wharf where you can fish or swim. Our indoor pool is heated to 80 degrees Fahrenheit 26.4 Celsius all summer and fall. Our Yacht is part of the rental and includes a four hour day sail with 25 people. Sail to the right you have hundreds of miles of Lakes, turn left and you have open Ocean. ALL PICTURES WERE TAKEN ON THE PROPERTY.

*- The Yellow Cottage was totally redone in 2004 and again in 2016.  It has a beautiful view of the Bra D'or Lakes and Kelly's Mountain.  Gazing out the living room window one would think they were looking at a backdrop for a National Geographic's movie. It is open year round, has hot air heat and central air. It has three bedrooms a hot tub in the deck and a beautiful garden with lots of flowers. The plants are from gardens all around the world

*- Our Gardens contain Van Gogh's Irises taken from the grounds of the clinic of St. Paul de Mausole in St.Remy de Province, France, where Van Gogh spent the last year of his life and where he painted one of his most famous paintings, “The Irises” The bulbs were in a wheelbarrow that the gardener was thinning out and which were going to be discarded so Ester "the original owner of the property" was given some.

Primroses from Blenheim Place: These are located all over the property they have been separated and spread. Blenheim was Winston Churchill’s estate north of London. Ester found them along the driveway.

Heather Bush near the rhododendron in the side garden by the yellow cottage came from Edinburgh Castle in Scotland.  Ester found them in the field and replanted them at Summer Snow.

*- Summer Snow is the perfect spot for dogs.  As one visitor said it is a Spa for dogs,  They can run and swim at their leisure.
