Perfect stay at a wonderfully stocked, beautifully reno'd cottage on a big lot right on the water, couldn't be happier with the place! Great spot for entertaining a crowd or a quiet respite from the city! Can't wait to book it again!

Bras d'Or Rest

We had a great stay and couldn't have been more impressed. Everything you could need was supplied and it was cozy and sparkling clean. The addition of cheeky hummingbirds was the best.

Perfect Stay

The lake house is an exceptionally lovely property, with beautiful landscaping and delightful hummingbirds adding to its charm. The views are stunning, and even indoors, the large windows make you feel like you're outside. The house is well-equipped with everything you might need and more. The hosts are gracious, always available when needed but respectful of your privacy. As a lifestyle blogger and content creator, and part of a well-traveled family, I can say this place ranks very high for us. The value for money is exceptional. Having grown up in Cape Breton and visiting every summer to see my family, I can't wait to stay at the lake house again. We all enjoyed it immensely.

Hervorragende Unterkunft

Wir waren 3 Nächte vor Ort, sehr freundliche Gastgebet die uns bereits im Vorfeld wunderbare Tips gegeben haben.Da wir zur Lobster Saison da waren haben Sie uns mit allem nötigen für die Zubereitung und den Verzehr ausgestattet.Auch die beste Bezugsquelle im nächstgelegenen Hafen inkl. Uhrzeit wann die Fischer die wertvolle Ladung löschen wurden mitgeteilt. Das mussten wir einfach testen und Sie haben absolut recht gehabt mit Ihrem Tip.Rundum ein super Aufenthalt, eine super Unterkunft in wundervoller Lage.Doch am besten war die unkompliziert und freundliche Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern.

A Wonderfully well maintained Cabin

we very much enjoyed the VRBO. It was a home away from home. The panoramic windows (meticulously cleaned) made it feel like you were outdoors. The kitchen and huge island were wonderful to bake and cook at.We look forward to staying here again.

No detail overlooked

This was by far our best ever vacation rental. The property is clean, well maintained, and so well stocked. Lorna and Robert have thought about everything that vacationers could need and more. Cozy blankets near the back door, more than enough linens and towels and dishes. Communication was clear and effective. The location is beautiful inside and out with gorgeous landscaping and comfy furniture inside and out. We cannot wait to come back.

Fantastique !

Magnifique endroit naturel et calme au bord de l’eau avec une petite plage privée très agréable. Maison confortable, propre avec une très belle cuisine. Situé à 30mn de Sydney, 50mn de la forteresse de Louisbourg et 1h30 d’Inverness (Cabot Trail). Lorna et Robert sont très accueillants et font le maximum pour le bien être de leurs invités. À ne pas manquer. Séjour relaxant garanti ! Un grand merci à Lorna et Robert.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Carroll & Lorna McNeil

We are Lorna and Robert, property managers for Lakehouse on the Bras d'Or. Cape Breton is our home now and are both originally from here. We have had 5 successful years of managing our own vacation rental on the Bras d'Or with more than thirty, five star reviews and held premier host status.

We enjoy updating our own property, gardening, running, hiking, cycling and spending time with family and friends!

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the beauty of Cape Breton and especially this area, Islandview. People are kind, the pace is a little slower and the nature is breathtaking.

What makes this property unique

This is a 10 acre water-front property with two private beaches one at each end of the property. The ornamental trees are so beautiful as is the birds, wildlife and fresh air.

This property has been newly renovated over the last few years by the owner and this will be the second year we are managing this vacation rental.
