Eberhards logcottage 2 - St. Peter's, Nova Scotia, right on the Lake

Our two cedar log cottages are located right on the magnificent Bras d'Or Lake and are hidden from each other in a twelve acre wooded area to secure your privacy.

They are fully equipped for your holiday (towels and linens also provided), with a nice kitchen and all the amenities, barbecue, living room, two bedrooms (1 queensize, the other 2 single beds), bathroom , veranda, electric heating. It's a proven favorite for honeymooners, but even a family of five can be housed, and all may enjoy the quiet retreat and the potential that the Bras d'Or Lake offers. Use our splendid beach to stretch out in the sun, have a swim, go snorkeling or fishing or just wander off collecting beach rocks. You can explore the various waterways and islands by kayak or canoe (there is a canoe, 2 kayaks and a standup paddle board free to use down at the gorgeous beach.

Our area offers many other activities like golfing at the nearby Dundee Resort, diving, sailing. And the magnificent long sandy beach of Point Michaud ( where you can learn how to surf) or the French speaking fishing community of Isle Madame can be reached in 45 minute by car. Plan for a full day excursion to see the famous Cabot Trail and the historic Fortress of Louisbourg. The picturesque Town of St. Peters is just a 15 minutes drive away where you can do all your errands, visit museums or go hiking in the Provincial Battery Park which also features a campground right on the Ocean.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Great Time in Cape Breton!

We had a wonderful time staying at Eberhard’s cottage! Not far from St. Peter’s, this beautiful wood cottage is fully furnished with any amenity you’d need for a getaway. The beach is a short walk away. A big recommendation from me!

Highly recommend!

The cabin is comfortable, well-maintained and comes with everything you need for the stay. The location is beautiful with easy access to the lakefront. Just sitting on the front porch in the morning looking at the lake is a vacation by itself. Eberhard could not have been more kind and helpful whenever we interacted with him.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time here at Eberhard’s cottage on the lake! It was peaceful, beautiful, secluded and just about perfect for our family. We loved the fire pit in the evenings and going down to the lake during the day. It was also a great home-base for exploring Cape Breton during our 3-week stay. We managed to catch some fun Celtic Colours events and the fall colors were spectacular! Eberhard is a wonderful host. He is so kind, helpful, and communicative. Hurricane Fiona hit at the start of our stay, and he was amazing at making sure we felt safe and secure and had enough candles, flashlights, bottled water, etc to get through the storm and subsequent power outage. We felt very comfortable and luckily, after a couple days, the skies cleared and power and water were restored. We were definitely in the right place!! Thank you, Eberhard!

Beach

We had a wonderful stay , the veiws and beach was fabulous, lots of stairs to get down onto the beach. The cottage its self could use some up dating as the furniture was older. No TV was great we spent hours on the beach just building a firepit walking and just takingin the beauty that surrounded us. Not far from grocery store ect.. we loved our stay it was exactly what we needed.

West Bay Vacation

Beautiful location in Cape Breton. Great for families - the lake was calm during most of our trip, making it ideal for our children to swim in. In mornings, loved drinking coffee on porch overlooking water while watching the hummingbirds.

Great resting spot

The boathouse met our needs perfectly. We needed a spot to rest in the evenings and get a good night’s sleep. The boathouse was quiet and peaceful and our boys (ages 3 and 5) loved it. We also enjoyed the canoe rental.

Perfect place to enjoy the nature

After our arrival in the late evening, we enjoyed a warm welcome by Eberhard, who guided us to the house, which is accessible via a private path across a forest between the main street and Bras d'Or lake. So we really felt being away from stress of "regular" life. The location is totally private and quiet. Apart from Eberhard's second house for rent which is not visible due to the forest all around, the next neighbour can only be reached via the street or the beach. Thus, our only visitor was a squirrel looking into the windows. Although the weather was not really nice, we enjoyed 5 nights with relaxing noise from the wind and waves of Bras d'Or lake, which sounded like an ocean those days. At the last day there was no wind and it was absolutely quiet and peaceful. We also found nice places to explore which are not too far away from the location. Thanks again for this great time!

Hidden Gem on Bras d'Or Lake

We absolutely loved our stay at Kayak Cape Breton! We stayed in the boathouse cottage, which is rustic, but comfortable, clean and airy. It's a spacious apartment above the boathouse with a gorgeous view of the pond. Plenty of indoor & outdoor room for an adventurous family of four. (The pictures don't do it justice - we were pleasantly surprised.) The lake is a short walk down a wooded path. Even in the height of summer, we had the beach entirely to ourselves for swimming, paddle boarding and a campfire at night. We rented kayaks one day and paddled to a secluded island a mile away. Eberhart is a fabulous host and takes excellent care of the property. He was helpful with information about the area and very accommodating with check-in/check-out times and kayak rentals. If our travels take us back to Cape Breton, we will definitely rent the cottage again.

rustic cabin with amazing views and lake access

We were warmly welcomed by the owner, Eberhard, to his quaint cottage by Bras D'Or Lake. The kitchen, while very basic, was well furnished and the house was well maintained and clean. I call it rustic as it is no-frills (no wifi!) and the decorating is circa 1980. But of course, you don't come to Cape Breton for the decor, but for the amazing beauty around you. While the cottage is on the small side, and very basic in its furnishings, it has an amazing view of the lake right from the living room/dining area. The cottage was fine for my husband and I, size wise, but if you came with children you might find it a tight squeeze, depending on how much time you will be spending inside. It is a short hike down a few (slightly steep) steps to the lake where you have the entire beach to yourself - amazing! The closest (20 minutes away by car) town of St. Peters has a number of small eateries (nothing fancy) and a grocery store. The only down-side for us was that we came to Cape Breton to hear the local Celtic music. What I found out is that the music scene is on the other side of the island, an hour and a half away! While St.Peters is a lovely area, and the cabin perfect for a short refuge from civilization (perfect to hole away and write that next best-seller), it is far from most of the culture and activity of Cape Breton. Additionally, the kayaking that is advertised is not available from the cottage, but rather from the owner's home, about a 10 minute drive away. He also rents you the kayaks, which seems a bit cheap for those people renting his cabins. But this was a small issue, and in general we had a lovely time!

The boathouse cottage was wonderful !

We spent a week in the boathouse cottage on the southern shore of the Bras d'Or, where we shared the cove with a pair of bald eagles, and it was a very comfortable and relaxing place in a beautiful setting to come back to after kayaking or a day of exploring Cape Breton. Eberhard was a helpful, kind, and generous host throughout our stay. We fell in love with the area and look forward to returning at some point. Thanks !!
