My hubby and I stayed here with our two dogs. Very well set up property, very well priced and facilities were very clean and well thought out. They even had dish cloths and dish towels to cleanup kitchen after use. I will stay here again

It was very quiet. We were told there would be a micro-wave, that the heater would take 30 minutes to warm the pod and that would be "toasty warm". The heater was a cute decoration, nothing more. There was poor oceanview. It was an experience we will NOT repeat!

It took us some time to find this place. They sent us a detailed email on where the location is so that helped

This was a unique spot to stay along the Cabot Trail. Expect it to be like camping, but with a nicer sleeping experience and kitchen access! There was even a barbecue on each site, which I wasn’t expecting. You are right up next to your neighbours as the pods are very close together, but I didn’t mind. I has a good conversation with my neighbours and we shared travel advice.

Sorry that you had this issue but I really don’t understand why. No other guests from that night said there was no water. We have never ever had that complaint before so I am a bit confused.

Grass needed to be cut shorter to walk between parking spot on side next to washrooms to our pod which was Sugar Maple to unpack and repack vehicle! Or better still another path made in the middle of that area so not needed to walk in wet grass.

It is an overpriced glamping experience but the faculty is not quite so glamorous except the good looking pods. Common area is unremarkable. There is no wifi signal inside the pod. The bed is not as comfortable as it looks maybe because rather small bed frame. The only lighting is a small desk lamp at the corner. However, picnic table and BBQ grill are a big plus.

Le fait que la cuisine était tout équipée. Aussi, les lumières au sol. La tranquillité du site.
Perfect place to sleep when traveling around Cape Breton.

Rustic but would not stay again.
Pros: Our dog was welcome. There were restaurants nearby and a great sub shop down the road. Great area to spend a night on Cabot Trail.
Neg: I’m not a camper ..if I was maybe this would have left a better impression. I expected glamping and this was not. The cabin was tiny and stuffy. The communal kitchen we stayed clear of and the single bathroom had puddles from the shower that you could not avoid. The communal bathroom had no mirrors.
