About this property

Comfortable Ocean Breeze Home

Our home is located at 15562 Cabot Trail, on the spectacular Cabot Trail with a glorious view of the ocean. Located just across the street from the ocean, barely a stones throw away, you can smell the salt water and feel the ocean breeze on your face as you sip your morning coffee while watching the lobster boats haul their traps just off shore. The views are particularly striking at sunset when the light shimmers gold on the water. Look behind you and all you see are miles and miles of mountains. Our home-town truly is a magical place.

Our house is almost a century old, newly renovated, it has three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, a large kitchen, dining room and living room on the first floor, with a glorious ocean view, as well as a full laundry room and mud room (yet to be renovated). Decks on both front (ocean view) and back of the house (mountains and afternoon shade). It is also equipped with appliances, including washer and dryer, flat screen TV, and all the necessities of home. We are just a short walk to town (5 minutes), Le Portage golf course is practically in our back yard, and Cape Breton Highlands National Park is a 5 minute drive.

We loved our stay! The house was well situated in relation to Cape Breton national park trails and scenic drives and appointed with all of the amenities we needed to stay for a week with our 1 year old son. Jeannie was really easy to communicate with and check in and check out were seamless! We would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to explore Cape Breton highlands and the idyllic towns surrounding the park!

The location is gorgeous, with a view of the water and the awesome Cape Breton National Park very close. The house is comfortable and a good value for the price. The host is nice and very available to answer questions.We enjoyed our stay (even though all trails on the island were closed because of risk of fires).

What a wonderful gem!

The communication with the owner was very smooth. The location was amazing - beautiful view on the ocean, within walking distance of downtown and short drive to the hiking trails. The house is gorgeous and really spacious for 6 people. I actually thought that the dining area was going to be dark after seeing the pictures online, but it was so bright. My family and I really enjoyed our stay and we would recommend this house to any family or friends who would like to visit the area. Thank you Jeannie for your kindness and for offering such a beautiful house to visitors.

Awesome Home in Cheticamp!

Spent two weeks at Jeannie's home in Cheticamp. Since my husband's family lives down the road, this was the perfect location. We were able to spend so much time with his family. We hiked, kayaked, 4-wheeled into the mountains, golf at Le Portage and also at Highland Links. Great location and beautiful sunsets. Spent a lot of time walking the Old Cheticamp road. Ate at L'Abri and went to the Aucoin bakery every day. All within a few minutes of the house. We needed to reach out to Jeannie for a small issue and she had a repairman at the house that day!!.

Great trip

Here are a few things that we would like to add: There was not enough shampoo, no saran wrap or foil paper, no tea or coffee, no curtains in patio door. Oven mitts should be replaced as one of the ladies got burned removing something from oven. Every place that we stayed had enough shampoo and all these items mentioned above.We would like to say thank you for letting us sign in at 3 pm instead of 4 pm which helped a lot.

This home is located a short drive from the grocery store and places to eat. It is also a short drive to the Visitor’s Centre for Highlands National Park and to the trail heads for a number of trails. We chose this home for its location. Check in had a glitch as the door was supposed to be left unlocked but wasn’t. The owner was able to give us the location of a spare key so we could get in. This worked fine but could have been a problem as cellular data can be weak. We had one house key for the 6 of us. A keypad entry would be a nice upgrade. The house had the things we needed so our stay was pretty comfortable. The house is very old and the owners have done some cosmetic upgrades. Some suggestions would be towel rods/ hooks as there was nowhere for 6 of us to hang our towels. LED lightbulbs would provide better light. The house was fine for our purposes and was where we wanted to be.

About the host

Hosted by Jeannie MacGregor

Host profile image
I am a Cape Breton girl at heart who moved to Halifax for a new career. I am passionate about social justice and children’s rights. I enjoy meeting new people, visiting new places and constantly learning from others. Life is a journey to be enjoyed to the fullest.

I love to travel and hope to see many new places in the years to come. I enjoy books of all kinds, walking/hiking, yoga, and meditation, healthy eating, and staying active!

My favorite “go to” place is near the ocean, I have made all my best life decisions to the sound of the waves. I love the beach! I am friendly, but very quiet and easy going. I enjoy silence and alone time and I’m a great listener. My family is my priority. I have four amazing children and two equally amazing grandchildren.

I believe there are two primary choices in life; to accept things as they are, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for many years. As I've mentioned, it is where I have raised my children before moving to Halifax for a career. The house has great sentimental value to me and remains close to my heart.

What makes this property unique

The house is centrally located and a short walk to the ocean, town, golf and many other amenities. The ocean views from the room/deck on the front of the house are spectacular, while the afternoon shade and view of the mountains on the back deck sooth the weary soul. The property brings me a sense of peace that I don't find in the city.
