This house needs some work. The bathroom floor seems like it is about to give way and you may find yourself on the floor in the kitchen. The Heat Pump was not functioning correctly so for a place that boasts to have AC it was not ideal to stay there in July when the average temp is 30. There are 2 spots on the deck that I had to tell my kids to stay away from for fear they would fall thru.

Overall it was okay. Not bad, not extraordinary. It did the job. We had a place to stay, sleep, eat and shower. So why only 3 stars? Mostly the cleaning. We had to wash all the plates, the glasses and cutlery before using them because we found some with food on them. Same thing for the towels. We had to wash them before using them because we try to use them the first night and some were full of hair (we think dog hair based on the quantity - disgusting). To add, the washer was smelly, so we had to do 2 tub cleans before washing something. Nothing Todd, the owner, could have done at that exact moment to help us but still, upgrading the cleaning game would help a lot!Positive point, Todd was quick to resolve a problem with the shower and kitchen drains. Within 24 hours, it was resolved! To sum up, yes a good place to stay but not a 5 stars place!

I wont rente again.

Smell and presence of humidity. Only one toilet UPSTAIRS. Floor in the toilet to be repaired. I wouldn't use the bath to wash. The toilet needs to be redone. No place to make a fire outside. Noisy. The ad says there was a SPA and there was none. Lots of spiders in the house.

A view to take your breath away.

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Stunning views and far away from the hustle of city life. The house was quaint and enough room for seven of us. There is no central air conditioning, just a heat pump on the first floor but opening the windows to the ocean air as Todd suggested was more than sufficient to cool the rooms down in the night. Todd, the owner, was great and always answered our questions quickly. I would recommend staying here if you want to get away from the craziness that is life, wake up to stunning sunrises and experience the beautiful feeling that is "East Coast Lifestyle"

Nice getaway for our family.

We had a nice family getaway. Walked, biked and ran up and down the trail. Went swimming at the beach, went to the Red Shoe for some live music, went to a nice beach in Port Hood. Read a book, watched the sunset, cooked some nice food, played some family games. Had a nice holiday there! Thanx Todd!

A home away from home

A cozy and comfortable place in Creignish; conveniently located right along the Cabot Trail. This house was our home base while we day-tripped to the many beautiful beaches, trails, restaurants, shops and Ceilidhs of Cape Breton. It had everything we needed for our one week stay. Todd was very responsive to all of our questions about the area and his dear Mom even baked us scrumptious Cape Breton Oatcake cookies!! A real east coast gem!

Not accurately represented

Highly disappointed with this misrepresented rather dirty, disorganized rental. Some would call it disgusting. Not at all what was expected. So distressing that we booked the next three nights at a local motel. Doesn't VRBO do a quality inspection before listing the property? First time VRBO let us down, but the owner was very responsible in that he quickly refunded the three nights we did not stay there of our four night booking. We had no choice but to stay the first night as we could not find alternative lodging.

Rustic gem

Todd’s property was perfect for our stay, to visit for a family wedding. Our party included 6 adults & 2 children (staggered over the stay) comfortably. It was very clean & all essential amenities included. Todd was very responsive with any booking or stay related questions. A word of caution for families with young children, you might want to come prepared with a baby gate as the stairs were quite steep. This country nestled property had great views of the ocean & the costal trail + added bonus of fireflies at night.

Responsive owner, good base for exploration of the area.

People need to realize that this is an old house; the owner has done much to update the kitchen, added amenities and updated appliances. We had 5 adults sharing one bathroom, which was tricky, but we managed. We had a terrific time doing some genealogy, driving the Cabot trail, visiting Halifax, the Glenora Distillery and the Lake Ainsley region. We got immediate responses from Todd for our questions. He suggested visiting the Red Shoe for some local entertainment, which was also one of our highlights. Mostly our weather was rainy, but one night the sky was clear. The view of the night sky from the deck was the brightest we've ever seen. On the way to the house we also stopped at Hopewell, on the Bay of Fundy. The beauty of Nova Scotia and the welcoming friendliness of the people are it's best assets.

We had a great trip staying at the MacEachern house.

The house was very clean with a Cape Breton rustic feel. The front deck was very well used, as in the morning we could watch the whales. With four bedrooms, a full kitchen, and new heat pump, the house had everything we needed to be very comfortable. I would recommend this house if you plan on having an extended stay in Cape Breton with friends and family.

Not what we expected

This property did not meet the usual VRBO standards. This is the first time we have been so disappointed in a VRBO property.This is a very old property that still needs lots of TLC. It was very hot and the upstairs was unbearable for sleeping. There are many maintenance items that have not been addressed.The sunsets were beautiful but that is the most positive thing I can say about this property.

Great stop over to do the Cabot trail

The view is amazing. We were there only two nights and out exploring most of the day and it was great place to spend the late evenings to have a glass of wine and watch the sun set. Overall, rustic, upgrades are great. Needs more upgrades such as the showers but based on what we observe the owner is on track. Suggestion , I didn't see it but perhaps owner could supply a binder with pertinent info such as emergency info, local info, what to do when leaving. etc. Owner was always available and we had no issues. I found the entrance a bit messy with clutter (mud room).

Cozy but tight quarters for 6 people

We stayed at MacEachern's home which had an awesome view of the ocean! However it was small for the six of us and although has some great updates, was still very old and a little run-down. But it was a convenient location for exploring Cape Breton.
