Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Katie Fagan

Our descendants all come from Cape Breton and moved to Halifax and Boston in the early 1900's but Cape Breton is where our heart's are. Three generations of family come back each year to this very special part of the world that is so beautiful and a respite from the heat and pace of city life.
Why they chose this property
Our parents were avid sailors and The Brasdor lakes provide some of the best saling in the world. Our property is right on the water with spectacular views so they fell in love with the property on their cruises throughout the lakes back in the 50's.
What makes this property unique
This a Two Hundred Forty acre property with three cottages. The main house offers a great family gathering place, the adjacent cottage offers great privacy and finally there is a one bedroom art studio. The main cottage has a brand new expansive deck that is wonderful for taking in the spectacular views and reading books.
