Wonderful Place to Stay

This is an excellent place to stay. It seems a bit remote but for the value for your money, it was worth it. Vince was an awesome host. We had a view of the lake so that was very nice. the room is actually as you see on their website, so there were no surprises except they provide more then they state on the website. Actual mugs for you coffee, real glasses, Kettle, Toaster, coffee maker. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and would definitely stay here again. Also very close to the Gaelic College and about a half hour from Baddeck with wonderful restaurants etc.

The location and view can't be beat. Easy off the highway and can sit in front of our picture window and be right next to the ocean water gazing across the bay. The owners were beyond helpful giving us suggestions on places to eat, see and do. They were a big help.

Tina and Vince, we truly enjoyed our stay. The jokes, the conversation and the tips for the Cabot trail were amazing. The view was incredible!! And shout out for the map because gps isn't helpful when there is no signal. It definitely made our day memorable! And yes. I agree. Mr Chicken had great ice cream.

Incredible, friendly welcome from the host when we checked in. The view was absolutely spectacular. Be mindful there is no air conditioning, which was our only issue. The fan provided was a saving grace. The toaster and kettle came in handy. The bed was comfortable and overall we had a good stay!
