We had one of the best girls weekends in this beautiful home. The fine details were just something else, and I can’t say enough about the hosts, they were so amazing with communication. We have been going on girls weekends for a few years now, and I would say this home is well worth coming back again and again. Would definitely recommend this home as a top place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay! The house and property are beautifully maintained and well stocked. The homeowners have truly thought of everything. There's even a milkshake maker! The dock at sunset is lovely. We would definitely stay again.

This beautiful home on Bras D'or Lake was an absolute sanctuary that allowed us to truly rest and recharge to celebrate my husband's brithday. Not only is the cabin immaculately clean, not only is the kitchen THE MOST fun to cook in, but every corner of this home is infused with such thoughtful details—right down to the cabinet handles—making it the nicest place we have ever stayed. The cabin is infused with love and personality. It did not feel like a rental, it felt like we were staying at a family member's home. We spent our days bird watching, relaxing, and fishing. We saw a pair of bald eagles nestled on a log, waiting out a rain storm. We saw a bunch of cormorants diving and eating fish. We loved watching the Barn Swallows play with each other. We were incredibly grateful to have some fishing gear available to use, as one of our poles broke on the ride up. We didn't catch anything but we had a blast. We also loved watching the two little fox friends who visited us every evening. We were sad to leave, but will absolutely be back. If you have the opportunity to stay here, take it! It is a true sanctuary and a cut above the rest when it comes to vacation rentals.

Wow, wow, wow .. amazing and beautiful in every way. Spacious, spotless and fun. We all wished we had just booked the cabin for the entire 10 days and had more time to sit on the dock with our coffee or wine, play in the game loft and just enjoy the cabin and grounds. Next time!! Don't hesitate. Oh, and I forgot to mention the cookies and wine that greeted us upon arrival - best cookies ever. We ended up meeting our host and had a grand time hearing about the cabin and it's unique features.
