Paradise in Mabou

Amazing property. Very convenient location for visiting Inverness County. Plenty of beaches, grocery store and liquor store nearby as well as places to eat. The home had everything you needed and more. Very clean. Sitting on the deck was so relaxing at the end of a day sightseeing or visiting family. I would highly recommend this home.

Wonderful Home, very dog friendly

Stayed here for 2 nights during our 1 week trip to Nova Scotia the last week of June 2023. Nice home which was very much dog friendly. Was initially surprised there was no TV in this house, but that turned out good because we ended up playing board games and cards as a family.

A home away from home!

A great 'home base' location with easy access to the Park and all of Cape Breton Island. Quiet house environment with well-equipped kitchen & laundry facilities, as well as being close to all amenities in the town-site. Thank you so much for your hospitality (and the goody basket ) Scotty! Would definitely stay there again if travel brings us this way again :)

Beautiful location and home - a quiet, serene setting!

We had a wonderful time at this property during our visit to Cape Breton and our journey around the Cabot Trail. A picturesque, serene setting made for easy, quiet evenings after a couple of long, busy days with my husband, myself and 3 kiddos. The heat pump worked a charm! Scotty was highly responsive; we were traveling from New York (via a trip to PEI), so it was very much appreciated to be able to reach out and ask questions before we even started our trip. The house is very well-kept and you can find anything/everything you need. Big bonus for the treat basket and access to a washer/dryer! We didn’t eat out in town (The Red Shoe Pub looked awesome, but it was just too busy when we were out and about), but found the local grocery store well-stocked. Many thanks to Scotty and fam for sharing their home with us!

Autumn in Cape Breton

I spent 4 days hiking and exploring Inverness County and this VRBO location was the perfect launching pad. A handy and well provisioned grocery store nearby but no restaurants within 20 kms. If you are looking for a quiet , natural setting for your visit to Cape Breton, you will not be disappointed.

Cape Breton gem

We spent two days at this property in early October. The rural setting is lovely and quiet but also close to the charming village of Mabou. The house has everything you need and our communication with the owner was excellent. We enjoyed our time exploring the west coast of Cape Breton from here!

Great place!

This house was clean and provided everything you could want and more. It really was like a home away from home and the host was great to provide anything needed. We were low on propane and it was delivered prior to us needing it. The location is amazing with wonderful beaches nearby in either direction. We had a great stay and would stay at this location again!!!

Nice area to visit

Okay place to stay. Location was fine to visit attractions on Cape Breton. Quite well equipped but visitors should know that there is no tv or hair dryer to prepare for their visit. Also there was no toilet paper when we arrived. We had visited a grocery store on our way in , but had to go out again to buy toilet paper. Surprising and inconvenient

Perfect bungalow

It’s the perfect bungalow, everything works, the beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped down to a lobster pot and a turkey roaster. The setting in an open field is lovely quiet and private but beaches, town, the farmers market are just a few minutes drive. And that we could take our dog was just a bonus.

About the host

Hosted by Scotty MacNeil

My wife Jen and I were brought up in the small community of Mabou, NS and we now live in Halifax, NS about 3 hours away. We have two children, Carson who is 20 and attending The Royal military College in Kingston, Ontario and Olivia who is 14 and is attending highscool here in Halifax. Jen's parents live 500m away on their farm. We spend as much time in Cape Breton as possible during our free time. I am the owner of Breton Electric, a small electrical contracting company in Halifax and Jen works at The IWK Children's Hospital as a respiratory therapist.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in the spring of 2015 and decided to offer it as a weekly rental property. The property is located just one farm over from Jen's parents farm and so when it went up for sale we were anxious to purchase the property. We love spending time in the area due to the combination of rich culture, scenery, and the local people.

What makes this property unique

This home is a very simple home with all the amenities a family will need for a great vacation. It is set in a beautiful location that is very private yet close to all the services in the village.
