Lake view, no joking
Our stay was idyllic. We enjoyed the views morning through evening, and found the collage itself quiet, relaxing, and wholly suitable for our needs.

Wonderful stay in every way! Beautiful location!
The house was very comfortable. The owner supplied lots of basic supplies like spices, oil, vinegar, paper goods. There is a lovely wood burning fireplace and all the wood is supplied. The owner Claude was very accessible and beyond helpful. He provided lots of information. There are amazing views from every window. The property is beautiful.

Quiet Oasis in Central Cape Breton
This was our first experience in Cape Breton, and the owners made it a welcoming one! The home is very well equipped. From kitchen extras (spices, etc.) to yard games (horseshoes), the house has plenty to offer. Sight-seeing Cape Breton is finished off with evenings enjoying the beautiful sunsets on the porch or through the picture windows in the house. We look forward to our next vacation in Cape Breton and would definitely return to Claude and Cathy's summer home!

CAPE BRETON COTTAGE.
OUR STAY WAS WITHOUT A FLAW. THE VIEWS OF BRAS D'OR LAKE FROM MANY WINDOWS WAS SPECTACULAR. WE WOULD LOVE TO BE THE OWNERS OF SUCH A COMFORTABLE AND PLEASANT HOME. WE WOULD BOOK WITH THE OWNERS ANYTIME. THANKS TO CLAUDE AND CATHY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY THERE.

Beautiful home in a spectacular setting
This home was well-equipped with anything you could need during your vacation. Wake in the morning to a pastel-lit sunrise or enjoy a glass of wine on the deck while admiring the fiery sunsets. After you've gone sailing on the lake or have finished exploring the Cabot Trail, return home to take advantage of all the games in the bunkhouse. You'll never be bored, there is plenty to do! The hosts were amazing! We'd definitely visit again!
