Girls Trip

We had a very good time. Only issue was a power outage (not the owners fault), but only this property. We contacted NS Power ourselves. There were no flashlights/candles, or a way to contact the owner (no internet without power). An emergency phone number was not provided. We did meet a very helpful neighbor who loaned us flashlights & candles. The owner did bring flashlights the next morning and left us a gift card for the inconvenience.

Amazing!!

We were very pleased with our accommodations. The location is well suited for travel to nearby communities and the Co-op store is a great source for shopping. It was nice to have family there for thanksgiving and friends join us for some entertainment during Celtic Colours. The foliage was not as expected, but this was due to "Fiona" (the storm). We recommend this location to anyone interested in staying in Cape Breton! Thank you for such a plesent stay.

Wonderful!

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay here very much! It was great to be so close to the Cabot trail. Lots of space, we cooked our meals and enjoyed the porch and walked across the street to the river when we saw a beaver. We would definitely stay here again :)
