Quiet retreat near Cabot Trail
We stayed 2 nights in this charming home and could have stayed several more. Clean and comfortable accommodation, accessible to all Cape Breton had to offer. Charles and Alicia were a joy to communicate with - very kind and responsive. We would stay here again if we ever come back!

Best deal ever
Amazing hosts. Spotless home. Very, very well furnished. Private location. No TV but I could not have cared less. I only mention it because it may be an issue if you are relying on it to entertain youngsters in the evening. Best vacation accommodation I have ever had by far. Ray

Quaint Little Place
Great little spot with authentic Cape Breton charm. Well equipped, comfortable beds, nicely furnished. While it is a little off the beaten path it is reasonably close to Whycocomagh and the Coop for food and centrally located in relation to a number of destinations. Consider taking the Little Narrows ferry (yes it's always running) to save a little time getting to the place. Our only (hilarious) concern was the number of mosquitoes which made dashing from the car to the house an entertaining necessity. A way to raise the blinds in the house (there seemed to be no cords) would be good too. These were minor issues. Overall great value and a very nice place to use as a base to explore Cape Breton. Definitely recommended!

Wonderful stay
Lovely private farm house. Exceptionally clean. A bit longer of a drive to the Cabot trail but the location was well worth the longer commute time. Greg

Classic comfortable Farmhouse stay
We had a wonderful stay at this historic farmhouse. The home was immaculately clean and comfortable and a nice welcome basket with some much appreciated treats welcomed us after a long drive. It was decently located for travel around Cape Breton. I also appreciated having access Google had difficulty finding the address, but Alicia was available by phone to help us find the house. We suggest pinning the address for ease of travel around ths many roads of Cape Breton. Access to a washing machine was extremely helpful, which is not offered at every vacation home.

Quiet, rustic delight
A pretty quiet school house, lovingly converted to a getaway. Everything was as advertised. We were there after a very rainy few weeks, which really brought out the mosquitos in the area, not surprising for August.
