Very comfortable cabin with a spectacular view

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable cabin, which has everything needed for a happy vacation. The host clearly cares about the property and the well-being of her guests. Little touches such as the lovely flower box outside the door are a testament to this. In addition, the view from the deck is truly spectacular. This is a place to enjoy peace and beautiful nature. We warmly recommend this holiday rental.

Fabulous spot

We had a great stay beautiful clean cottage! Hosts were terrific and we got to feed Eagles and watch them swoop down and grab the food. It was an awesome sight!!! We would definitely stay here again and plan to and would highly recommend it to people looking for a relaxing get away. Lovely views and lots of scenic spots to visit. We walked a beach not far from the cottage daily first thing in the morning with the dog. Then we set off exploring daily. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful lakefront property

We stayed two nights at this beautiful lake front property with fantastic views of Lake Bras D’or. Really clever interior and great use of space and great light in this unit. We absolutely enjoyed every minute there despite the rainy weather we encountered. Views of the lake are absolutely breathtaking. An added bonus is use of laundry facilities in another building nearby.
