Awesome and Affordable River Cottage

Precious cottage with an Angel's View

Overlooking the first Salmon Pool of the Cheticamp River, bordering the Highland National Park, and minutes away from the Acadian French village of Cheticamp, this jewel will please your soul.

Appearing to be remote, the active village is just 2 minutes away with drug store, grocery, beauty shops, gift shops, bakeries, museums, whale tours etc. But at the cabin you are surrounded by privacy of trees, mountains, and the Cheticamp River. Two blocks away is the Gulf of Saint Lawrence where the Cheticamp River spills into the salty beach.

The cabin is small but the view is large. Offering a full view of the Cheticamp River and Highlands National Park is your ever changing view. We watch moose, bear, deer, coyotes, chipmunks, squirrels, and eagles as they cross the river and forage the flora. Enjoy evening camp fires in the fire pit. Canoe the river at high tides or just sit and relax on the lawn with a view worth Angel's wings.

Inside the cabin is comfy sofa and chairs, Flat screen Smart TV, full kitchen and standard bathroom.

Fishing is fly reel only from the pool up. It is a scheduled river so 'catch and release'. You can trout fish also.

This is our private cabin so we maintain it with the comforts we expect for daily living.
We have outside amenities such as Bar- B- Que, , Fire Pit, Picnic tables, and outside chairs.


I am dog friendly. If you have a dog you want me to consider, please tell me the age, size and breed when inquiring to this listing.

During Covid Restrictions and Protocols, we are allowing 48 hours minimum between guest for our housekeepers and your security.




Keywords: Cabin
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

Great location

Comfy cozy cottage with an amazing view of the Highlands and Cheticamp River, close to the National park and close to amenities and restaurant. Most importantly, a 2 minute drive from the Aucoin bakery, the very best and must popular spot in Cape Breton! Perfect for a little get away.

Nice cabin with a fantastic view

Stayed 4 nights - lost one due to post-tropical storm Lee. A great stay, though the weather didn’t cooperate. Had wind in rain 3 of the 4 days, oh well. Well equipped with comfortable furniture. Not luxury, but nice. Really enjoyed the stay.

Angels View

The house was warm and comfortable. It had everything we needed down to seasoned cast iron skillets and good knives. The view from the house was amazing! The view got even better when sitting in the yard which sits on a bluff overlooking the Chetticamp River with mountains in the distance and fields of willow below us. Eagles were commonly sighted and there was a lot of beaver activity in the river below. Very peaceful and serene. We would definitely visit this house again when in the area! Just lovely!

Basic cottage on a beautiful property

The cottage has two rooms, a living room, a bathroom and a small kitchen and is located in a beautiful property overlooking the River. In our experience, the view on the River is really the highlight of this property - it is just majestic. There also are a lot of birds in the surrounding forest and it is beautiful to hear them sing throughout the day. There is an outdoor picnic table perfect for lunches but not so much for supper as it was buggy at the end of the day. Some dishes were not clean and we could live with it as we understand housekeeping might not have the time to check all the dishes - however, the fridge was not clean and this was a problem for us. We liked the air conditioning. All in all, we recommend this accommodation - beautiful and peaceful setting with a rustic yet comprehensively furnished cottage. Thank you.

Adorable hideaway

The view out our front window looked like a picture. The location was absolutely perfect as a jump off point for entering the national park each day. It’s close to stores and restaurants. The house is fully furnished with everything you’ll need to be comfortable and beyond. Our host was very accommodating and when we had questions she was quick to respond.

This place is simply magical if you're looking for serenity and a break from the cities. It's situated back from a dirt road, overlooks a river, and is adjacent to Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Be aware that water is supplied from a tank, so you'll need to conserve. We didn't find that to be a problem for us. We could have stayed much longer!

Can't wait to go again!

This rental and the location were so perfect for us that we are already discussing a second Cape Breton trip in the next couple years if we can get the same place. The cottage had everything we needed plus a magical view over the river into the park mountains. I literally watched an eagle from above. We travel with two dogs and found a variety of walking paths for them in the woods and along and down to the river, or could walk to the beach just down the road and then along the beach or the pond by the beach. There is easy access to the most scenic drives and trails in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the visitors center to buy a pass is nearby, as well as an amazing bakery to get your snacks for your outing. The owner answered any questions we had clearly and promptly. Can't wait to go back!

Little Paradise

Stayed here for four days and it was wonderful! Even though the national park was closed and only open to thru traffic due to hurricane Fiona´s legacies, this little paradise wasn´t affected at all and we spent a heavenly time overlooking Chéticamp River. Communication with Jacqueline was just great! This is a real gem!

Quite simply, one of the most amazing views I have ever seen anywhere was out the living room window of this lovely cottage. When you add in eagles, moose (a couple of feet from the window!) , beavers and numerous other interesting little animals and birds, it's was a very memorable stay.

Perfect!

This little cottage is absolutely charming both inside and outside and I felt relaxed and at home right away. The setting of course is idyllic with the ever-changing view of the river and mountains. I could have sat for hours and just taken in the sights and sounds of nature. Inside the cottage is immaculate, well arranged and very comfortable. The surroundings are amazing... I paddled on the river, hiked in the park, drove through the mountains and marveled at the spectacular fall colors. And all the while just mesmerized by the view... it's hard to look away from such a beautiful scene. I just can't say enough about how much I enjoyed just being there. Thank you Jacqui for sharing your magical place. Marilyn

Stunning view, perfect location

This is our second stay at Angel View. The view truly is stunning and the close proximity to the Cabot Trail, the beach and walking trails is exactly what we were looking for. The cottage kitchen is well equipped; all was clean and comfortable-perfect for a couple with a pup (it would be tight for more than that-and not safe for little children with the cliff at the front of the cottage). We do feel that the cottage could use some updating but for us it was fine. We appreciated the air conditioner in the kitchen since it was 30 degrees. Richard the caretaker showed up to bring us more water and firewood which was great. All in all, we had a wonderful time.

Cozy Cottage with a Million Dollar View

We normally try to camp in wooded areas with privacy and access to trails and a lake or beach nearby, but trailer needed work this year, so we tried a cottage for the first time in 10 years. We couldn't have had a better experience here, it's secluded with a beautiful view and close to the Skyline Trail on the Cabot Trail. I could have spent all day looking through binoculars and staring out at this amazing view and enjoying visits from Charlie (the little dog next door is sweet!) and then bonfire each night with mountains and a full moon illuminating the river as the backdrop. Inside was very clean, & you'll find everything you need and then sit for hours in the window seat. One thing to note is that the twin beds in 2nd bedroom are small, but fit the 2 average height 14 year olds we had with us, and we slept great in the room with the double. Need to be careful of water usage (just basics, don't let water run) we're used to stricter usage when camping, so we had no problem. Everything was communicated well to us by the owner. I have recommended this place to many already and would love to come back again during a fall season <3

Amazing Stay

Upon renting this property it was one of a few left in Cape Breton for the times we were looking. At first it seemed pricey for what we were getting, however the view from the property was absolutely worth the cost. Although small, the cottage has everything you need. The provide fresh drinking water, lots of cooking supplies and spices and wood for a fire. The hammock swings and canoe were amazing to have. We spent our one full day there exploring the beach at the end of the road and the river area across from the cottage. The river was easy to walk across and don’t go far above hip height. We got two adults comfortable in the bedroom with two twin beds. We would absolutely book this cottage again as the view was breathtaking.

Breathtaking View

Inside the cottage was very clean and well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable. There is lots of storage places. The views are incredible from inside and out. The best I’ve seen from anywhere that I have stayed. Lots of interesting birds. The LeBlancs were very helpful and it was nice to receive a phone call from the owner on our arrival night. The property had a lot of cigarette butts around which was disagreeable. There is a high, unprotected drop off down to the water on the property; therefore I do not recommend for young families. Otherwise perfect and loved the walking trail along the river.
