Cabin in the valley

Thank you Chris, for a memorable stay on your beautiful property! Cabin is new--,has great kitchen and grill for cooking. Bed is comfy. Enjoyed the screen porch every day--keeping the pesky bugs outside! So peaceful to watch the sun set behind the mountains. Good location for getting to Cape Breton National Park--a must! and to Baddeck and St. Annes. Had excellent view and lunch at Lobster Galley. Inverness has awesome beaches. Thanks, Chris. Hope to be back one day.

Great Family Stay

Our family (mom, dad and our three 18+ children) had a wonderful stay at the cabin! It was clean and well-equipped to make dinner after a day of exploring. It was centrally located for the activities we wanted to do on Cape Breton. Overall, we had a great time!

Wonderful vacation home

Our cabin exceeded our expectations. It was so new and clean! We loved it and would highly recommend it. Plenty of room for 4 or 5. The cabin is tucked back in off the main road along with 4 other cabins so you feel like you're in your own little valley.

Incredible Stay!

First of all, the Adonai Adventure property is beautiful! The cabin is actually even better than the pictures show. The attention to detail is amazing as every comfort you would need is there...even bug spray (as you will need it if you come in the summer). The property has great views of the hills and there is access to the Margaree River should you like to head down and enjoy the view, sounds and maybe some fly fishing, if you're so inclined. On our last morning there I went for a run and saw a pair of bald eagles down at the Margaree Fishery helping themselves to the local smorgasbord. The property is just off the Cabot Trail so we were able to enjoy the drive and a few hikes during our stay (don't miss White Point as the views are stunning with seals and what we perceived to be a whale sighting too!). The hosts (the Wimpeys) were wonderful as they were available, attentive to the needs of their guests, and have such a unique and inspirational story that is worth hearing! Our visit wasn't long enough to see everything we would have liked on Cape Breton, so we are looking forward to a return visit in the future. Note that the property is so quiet and peaceful should you prefer to just relax and recharge, so you could use Adonai Adventure cabins as your choice for a secluded getaway or as a great base camp for your Cabot Trail adventure.

Hurricane Fiona

Chris was awesome to deal with. We were not able to stay because of impending hurricane Fiona. Chris responded promptly to our enquiries Chris was sympathetic to our situation and offered us compensation for future stays, even though we were passed dates of recompense. Terrific person especially facing possible destruction of his property

Beautiful Margaree Valley

The property was exactly as described. It is situated in a beautiful clearing minutes off the Cabot Trail. The owners are wonderful people who are very welcoming and who made sure that we had everything that we needed. We would recommend this property to anyone for exploring the Cabot Trail, fishing in the Margaree river, hiking on Cape Breton or just wanting a quiet vacation to relax and recharge.

Golf vacation

This lovely cottage is situated centrally and is just as presented on VRBO. Basic supplies provided like coffee, which was very helpful. Lovely quiet setting. Very private. Chris was very friendly and helpful and responded very quickly to all questions. I would highly recommend this property. Great golfing within driving distance.

Beautiful Property with Stunning View

We loved our stay in this lovely cabin! It is so beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and has absolutely everything you could require. The views are breathtaking, and we so enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch taking it all in. The owners are wonderful, warm and so welcoming. We loved it! Thank you so much Chris and family!

Idyllic Getaway

This wonderful VRBO is among the very best we have ever enjoyed anywhere. It is not only exactly as described, it's better in person. The cabin itself is very well made and appointed, and the owners have not missed a thing. It is truly a home away from home, set in an idyllic valley and steps away from a gorgeous river. We were looking for a remote getaway with plenty of nature escapes for our daytrips, and we got exactly what we wanted and more. The Margaree Valley is a great base for touring the island, as it is fairly centrally located to the areas we wanted to explore. Our last night there, we had dinner near Margaree Harbour, which looks like something straight out of a storybook. Pretty much ALL of what we saw on Cape Breton Island was a breathtaking scenic delight. This is a place where time has stood still just a little longer than most, in the best possible way. We found ourselves yearning for such simplicity in our own lives as we look toward retirement in the next decade. Lastly, the owners of this property are wonderful people who are making this world a better place with their vision and purpose. Thank you for such a restful, peaceful, beautiful and incredibly clean retreat. It was exceptional and we hope to be back again someday! Russ & Melissa Caswell / South Hamilton, Massachusetts USA

Chris was awesome to deal with! The cabin was perfect, brand new, and looks exactly like the photos. The property was pretty easy to find and a nice escape from the city. The views of the mountains are fantastic and there are nice trails nearby. Great location to relax and cozy up by the fire, would highly recommend!

The cottage is new and well furnished. The location is near the start of the Cabot trail. The river running near the cottage property could well be the center of many a adventure picture. It was an amazing experience. Thanks.

Cabin is brand new. Spotless. Fantastic kitchen. Nice sitting area with gas stove. A cool drive through the woods to find four cabins on the edge of a large open area. Remote location but therefore a quiet and relaxing environment. Often you can hear the nearby river. Follow owner’s directions as GPS will suggest you turn off the road prematurely.

Fantastic cottage in Margaree Valley, Cape Breton

Had a wonderful stay, a real gem in Cape Breton! We really enjoyed everything the cottage had to offer. The cottage has everything you will need, the owners really paid attention to all of the little details. The cottage is modern and new, it was a real treat to stay there. The property is very large, lots of space to explore. Amazing river close by, effectively a private stream for you to enjoy. The natural surrounding is beautiful, we really enjoyed the environment around the cottage. So peaceful and refreshing - it really gave us city dwellers time to recharge. Hosts are very kind and generous, had great interactions with the owner, he was always responsive to any needs. Really hope to visit again in the future, would not hesitate to book again!
