Lovely stay

My family and I loved our stay. The cottage is cute with a beautiful view of the sea from the deck. I walked to the beach several times each day and enjoyed the amazing scenery. Nearby Chéticamp is quaint and has all you need for a relaxing vacation. The Cape Breton Highlands National Park offers breathtaking views from your car and even more to explore and see on its hiking trails. We would definitely stay here again.

Cute coastal cottage

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was perfect for four adults and dogs. The easy access to the beach and Highlands park was our favorite part. Cute town and good restaurants. Very easy check-in and good communication. Good vibes all around!

A friend and I stayed a few days for a hiking get away. Great location close to the beach which was great to walk in the evening. Very close to the National Park where we were able to do some hiking and we also took advantage of the local golf course which we would highly recommend. If you plan to visit in summer and weather is warm, upstairs bedrooms could be uncomfortable for you. If you plan to use the grill, plan to fill the propane tank as none was provided. We ended up cooking over the fire instead which was great with the sunset views 😁

Charming, cozy cottage in a beautiful spot

A lovely cottage with everything we needed. This is the last house on a lane through a neighborhood, so there's just a short stroll down a path before you get to the beach. A very nice, comfortable place to stay.

Ooo Lah Lah!!

This was one of the finest places we have stayed! It was perfect for us: no frills or fanciness, but some really fine, classy details, like wonderful dishes and silverware, amazing windows with a fantastic view that were easy to open and close (and provided great ventilation), comfy furniture, everything you could ever need in a place, and a fine washer and dryer. Also, five minutes to a rock and sand beach past a wetland and some small fields and down a wooded path that for a birder like me, was pure, unadulterated heaven. We fell in love the moment we opened the door, and it never wavered the entire five days we were there, awaiting Hurricane Lee and stealing hikes in the Cape Breton National Park when we could, and eating AuCoin baked goods when we could not. And the visit from the caretakers, Roger and Priscille, just added to our admiration for this place as they were wonderful people who were instantly friendly and kind. He fixed a door that was stuck and she regaled us with tales…we loved it! The only downside to this terrific gem of a small place: it is not for tall people upstairs! The ceiling where the bedrooms and the bathroom are, are sloped and one has to adapt pretty fast or risk bopping your head all the time. I am 5 feet tall and I had to adapt! But the bathroom is decent sized and the shower works fine and the beds are small but comfy, so we are not complaining. We would go back in a heartbeat. It is a place of character and the love involved with its pores.

Delightful cottage in great location

A quaint cottage in an excellent location! Host communicated quickly and effectively, too. A short path leads you to a gorgeous rocky beach with amazing vista of the highland cliffs/Cabot Trail. Very private setting but close to everything. Make sure you check out Last Chance Sandwich and Freya and Thor's just down the road from the cottage.

Moving to this house is like going home. Everything you need in your day to day life is there: kitchen pots and pans, ustensiles, soaps and detergents, appropriate washer/dryer, towels, dish rags, blankets. Windows open and lock, heating is efficient if needed. Tesla charger is cherry on Sunday Only one small improvement suggested: lubricants for the locks on the front and back doors. Pierre

Wonderful Home

We completely enjoyed our stay in this lovely home during the first week of October. The home is quirky, authentic to the area, simple, and lovely. The best feature, other than a comfortable, friendly great room downstairs, is the location. The view off the back deck is amazing. And the home is just a short, easy stroll to a lovely stone-covered beach you get all to yourselves. The colorful beach stones were our main reason to visit, as I am a collector. So this could not have been a more perfect location for us. The house itself sits on a sheltered knoll overlooking a saltwater pond with water fowl. It is seperated enough from neighbors to offer privacy, but with other homes closeby so it does not feel isolated. When we wanted to venture farther, we were very close to the national park entrance in one direction and convenient to restaurants and the grocery store in Cheticamp in the other direction. We very much enjoyed our visit.

What a relaxing get away at a lovely old style home next to the ocean. The house was clean, and felt like home , complete with games and lots of books and CDs for rainy days, a fire pit where we enjoyed a gorgeous sunset every evening and just minutes from the most awe inspiring drive up into the Cape Breton Highlands. We loved our time in Petite Etang and will return! Thank you!

Enjoyed our stay. Great location to explore Cheticamp, National Park and Cabot Trail.

The house met our expections for an older property. Very private with ocean view and large lot. Plenty of room and all the essentials. Would be even better if a view of the water was possible while sitting inside (as in lower windows). Stonger lighting in kitchen would be a plus. Overall would stay again.

Excellent location

The cottage was very cozy and private. Communications leading up to and during our stay were excellent. There are many wonderful things to see and do nearby and in the region. We felt that advertising the property as sleeping 7 people/6 adults was misleading. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have beds that seem narrower than a standard double, but I could be mistaken. My teenage daughter and her friend had to take turns sleeping the floor as they found the bed too crowded. I would say that the home comfortably sleeps 5 people. We really appreciated that the hosts are open to including pets. It was a welcoming and safe place for our furry friend. Thanks to our host and property caretakers for a really lovely stay!
