About this property

Heart of Baddeck Village

Compass House is located in the center of Baddeck allowing you to take full advantage of the shops, restaurants and various activities going on in the village, without using your car. The lake is a few minutes walk away. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two with queen beds and one with 2x twin bed.s All have ample closet space. There is one full bathroom upstairs. Downstairs there is a comfortable living room, dining room and well equipped kitchen plus two further half baths. The sun room addition provides a birds eye view of village life and also contains a full double bed for additional guests.
There is a cute deck on the back where you can sit with a cup of coffee and watch the world go by.
Baddeck is not just the beginning and end of the Cabot Trail but also a great base for exploring other areas of the island.

Host profile image
Hi, we are Anne-Marie and Jamie McGowan. We both originate from London and currently live on the south coast of England. We have three small children and love to visit Canada every chance we get!

Why they chose this property

We had been visiting Cape Breton/ Baddeck for a number of years before we had the opportunity to purchase Compass House. We have been working hard to remodel and update it. We hope that you will enjoy our home as much as we do. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable please ask!

What makes this property unique

We love the atmosphere in Baddeck. Compass House really gives you the opportunity to experience life in the village. The locals are so friendly and welcoming and you are a stones throw from everything you need.
