The online pictures do not do justice to this fabulous property! We were a group of 8 adults and two children (4 and 6 years old) It was perfect for us. Tim is great to deal with. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. The location is fantastic. Loads of privacy but close to everything we wanted. I would highly recommend this property and hope to get back again.

Very clean excellent location well furnished elegant place. Only request is to have a body wash in every shower, which I felt was lacking item for a place of this quality. At least should have a small one for a two day supply and the rest we can buy when we come in. This is an inconvenience and absolute irritant. I’m glad we discovered the lack of these items Right away rather than run to the store .

Snowmobile trip, Cape Breton Highlands.
Amazing place, very spacious pool table very nice touch. You’re not right on the trail, but you have access to the snowmobile trails without trailing. Definitely recommend this place to anyone with a large group that is looking to spend some time on the snowmobile trails in Cape Breton.

Amazing!
The house was beautiful and homey from the moment we walked in.
The layout was absolutely perfect; the kids had their own play space in the loft, while the adults were able to hangout and converse on the main floor.
We were definitely sad to leave, but would love to visit again in the future!
We were a family of 12 and all enjoyed the house, the view and the location. Would go back again. Wish there was a gas bbq but we made do😊😊

Great for a large family.
This place was great for us, a group of 2 children and 7 adults. There was room for all of us in the dining room, the kitchen was large and well equipped. We visited 4 different beaches, the Cabot Trail and went whale watching. One thing to note is the barbecue is a charcoal one. We enjoyed the pool table and the kids loved the air hockey game. It was a great stay.

Great House and Setting
There were 10 of us on Can Am Spyders, touring Nova Scotia. We stopped here for three nights. The road leading to the house was a little rough for cycles, but the house itself was perfect for us. There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out and relax. Even though we didn't do much cooking, it had a well stocked kitchen. Beautiful setting, as well!

Wonderful Trip
We are a group of 9 ladies over 65. We get together each year for a getaway. This property was great for us. There are several gathering spaces, lots of room, a pool table and a lovely fireplace. There was lots of dry wood available for our use. Thanks very much for that.
The view is excellent, beds are great and the kitchen is very well stocked. Everything we needed was there. We had a great time!

Beautiful cottage and location
This is a beautiful property in a great location in Cape Breton. Had all the adequate appliances and utensils to cook and serve a family Thanksgiving meal. Laundry on site is super useful. Great proximity to the Cabot Trail Highlands, Cabot Links Golf Course, etc. Tim is great at quick communication. Thanks Tim!
