Things to Note : No Dishwasher or Air Conditioning.
The property does not have air conditioning at this time but Cape Breton is known for its sea breezes. With the windows open we almost always have an amazing breeze. We do provide fans as well.

The property has served many purposes over the years. Originally the farmhouse that housed the family who farmed the surrounding land. It was later used as a schoolhouse when the local school burnt down. The teacher resided here and ended up teaching all the students in her home. The trees on the property are planted by those very children. You may also hear it referred to as 'the bootleggers house' where people gathered to drink when bootlegging was popular.

The property does sit on a road that has some traffic and can be a bit noisy at times due to the trucks. Cape Breton is not built up like other places and does not have as many alternate routes. We are adding some trees and landscaping to help combat this but it likely not help for a few years yet while they get established.

We recommend sleeping with the fan on if you feel the cars may be an issue for you, this drowns out the noise if they do go by in the night/early morning.

Chéticamp stay

We had a great visit. We were able to buy great local seafood and cook wonderful dinners. We hiked the skyline trail and heard great music at the Doryman. The house gave us great access to these things.

Cheticamp gem!

Clean, welcoming and fully appointed home. Everthing has been well taken care of both inside and out. Very thoughtful to have board games, welcome booklet outlining the area, places to visit & eat, outdoor projector etc. We truly enjoyed every second of our stay, and we will stay here again and again and again!

Beautiful and homely

As first time vrbo users, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. But we were pleasantly surprised! We had the most wonderful stay at The Bluewood. Jade was the perfect host, always quick & willing to respond to any questions. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen, well equipped (as a “from scratch” cooking momma, this was a big deal!). The living space was homely and comfortable. The deck area was perfect for s’mores! We had our dog with us & loved that there were bowls, towels & leashes for her. There is a beautiful beach a short drive away. We took full advantage of the free park pass that came with the house. We would totally use this house again for future trips. Thank you Jade.

About the host

Hosted by Jade Weston

Host profile image
After years of being raised in Ontario I followed my roots back to Nova Scotia in hopes of sharing the magic this place holds with everyone else.

I'm a travelling homebody and my sidekick is my dog which is why our property is pet friendly, we know they are apart of the family too. If I am not at home you can probably find me on a trail, doing yoga at the beach or cooking up something for my loved ones.

Hosting has become a way to reconnect with people in such a disconnected world, for me this is more than a rental but a way to help families create new memories together that can be remembered for years to come.

Why they chose this property

Cape Breton speaks for itself. The rolling hills, rugged coastlines, lush Greenlands and fishbouats bobbing in the waves will win over the heart of anyone who steps foot on the island.

Cheticamp is special because it is the quintessential Nova Scotia experience being a small fishing village with bustling wharfs and colourful buildings. We love the slow pace, the friendly people and of course the seafood caught right off our shores.

Being located close to the entrance for Cape Breton Highlands Park is also one of our favourite features - being able to explore all the beauty nature has to offer. The property is located just 20 minutes from one of the most iconic hikes on the island, the Skyline Trail.

What makes this property unique

We strive to not only offer a property to rent but an experience by having an interactive property. We provide curated guides in both digital and paper format. Upon booking confirmation you receive route recommendations for the best views, planning resources for jeep tours, whale watching and other attractions in the area. Our hope is to help you plan ahead so you don't miss anything our area has to offer.

Guests also receive a road trip playlist for their travels to the property as well as curated playlists at the property you can access with our smart speaker or from your own device and always have music playing upon arrival.

We have interactive maritime trivia created by The Bluewood for a fun family game night, an outdoor movie projector and mini market on site that allows you to order online and purchase items directly in the unit such as coffee, wine, soaps, beeswax wraps and more.
