You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
House with Stunning Ocean View
This home is a welcoming retreat for artists and anyone who values quiet and seclusion. It is decorated in an eclectic mix of antique items (including a cannister set from the 1880's once belonging to my great-grandparents in the Netherlands) to original works of modern art. The open concept mini home was renovated in 2021/22 to provide everything you could hope for in a vacation home: A/C, updated kitchen, sliding doors to a huge screen room, woodstove and ensuite bathroom. Please note - the house is on a steep hill so if you are towing a heavy trailer, or your vehicle needs a brake job - this may not be the rental for you.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
This vacation home offers designated smoking areas.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Wow !Very nice house with everything you may need. Our little family vacation was VERY relaxing! We got to enjoy all the places around .Will book again!
This house is very well supplied and very comfortable. The location is very private. This is a home away from home. The house has everything that you need for a wonderful and relaxing vacation. I would definitely stay here again!
We came here for a quiet weekend and this rental was exactly what we were looking for. It was far enough from the road that we could take the kids outside for a walk and even got to see some local wildlife!
Our stay at woodsong cottage in mulgrave nova scotia.
Very quiet and relaxing place.Great for dogs. Nice view of the water.

Disliked: Communication
it was a nice place, the driveway was horrible! I don't recommend anyone with a low riding vehicle to attempt it. there were a few other minor issues, but all in all nice. The view was good wish there had been some green space out-front to sit.
Wonderful, small place which was exactly what we were looking for. We used it as a base to explore Cape Breton Trail. Master bedroom very nice en suite. Spare bedroom very small. Great woodburning stove! And view was nice.
The cottage was perfect for taking daily outings to the surrounding area including an easy access to the Cabot trail. The house was super clean. We were even greeted with a bald eagle fly by on arrival.
As other reviews have noted, be sure to stop by the Front Porch for coffee and goodies.
