Waterfront paradise

This was my second visit to this wonderful place and I enjoyed it a lot. The house is comfortable, spacious and well equipped and the grounds are just beautiful. Right on the water, with two kayaks and a canoe. Lovely fire pit, lots of wood in the shed. The first time I visited I explored the attractions close by and made a day trip to Cape Breton. This year I just hung out at the cottage and it was soooo nice, relaxing on the deck with a good book and enjoying the constant music of the crows, seagulls, kingfishers, cormorants... a constant parade of birds, walking on the beach... Would recommend this place to anyone, no complaints at all.

Beautiful Spot

We had a fabulous stay! The cottage was immaculate and had everything one could need. The back deck is beautiful and we enjoyed our morning coffee listening to the water and the birds. We even spotted an eagle one evening. Our 2 boys loved the loft and the foosball table! We explored cape breton and antigonish during our stay with some fishing and swimming in between! The only drawback were the millions of mosquitos around making it difficult to fully enjoy outdoor activities on the property. However, this is completely out of control of the property owners and we very much appreciated the bug spray and anti-itch cream! Overall a great experience. We highly recommend.

Outstanding. Everything you could possibly need was provided.

The whole family including the dogs enjoyed their stay. The owner's relatives were extremely helpful with launching and removing our boat from the water. They built a dock before we arrived! The property is situated on a protected inlet. Neighbors are very friendly. The property is close to a malor town fir shopping and mesls out. Cl9se to the Cabot Trail which is an incredible venture. Couldn't be happier about our stay. Great value and totally enjoyable.

This place e is an oasis of peace and tranquility.ity. The cottage was absolutel perfect with e

We wanted for nothing. Everything we could possibly have needed was here. Paul's comprehensive cottage guide was very helpful. His folks were great fielding the few questions we had and getting us to the cottage (I lost the directions lol) In hindsight as we have continued our travels to Cape Breton, I would absolutely plan a longer stay at this beautiful site and highly recommend it to anyone planning to travel to the east coast. Thank you so much Paul!

The location was top notch the cottage was well equipped the only draw back was there was no air conditioning so the sleeping loft was quit warm even with a floor fan and though the beds were adequate they could be updated

We stayed within our municipality and had a pandemic weekend getaway here. We had fun exploiting the shoreline on foot, paddling the kayaks, playing games, and just relaxing. Nice and secluded, great hosts. Thanks for the weekend!
