About this property

Beachfront Cottage in Broad Cove Marsh

Located along the picturesque Ceilidh Trail on the western side of Cape Breton Island, “The Cabin” is the ideal spot for your vacation get-away.

Nestled between two cliffs, the property boasts 3 bedrooms, eat-in kitchen with 4 appliances, washroom with shower stall, washer & dryer, satellite TV, WiFi, large family room, two-level deck with barbecue, and an awesome outdoor shower.

The Cabin is a stone’s throw from Broad Cove beach. From the deck you can watch your children play in the freshwater brook and on the beach. Sit back and relax on the deck taking in spectacular sunsets and star gazing at night. When it’s time to call it a day, let the sound of the rolling waves lull you to sleep.

There is much to see and experience in the historic Town of Inverness. Spend the day at its 4.6-km/2.9-mi sandy beach with boardwalk, the heritage-designated railway station now serving as the Miners’ Museum, the Inverness Raceway established in 1926 where harness races are held twice weekly between May and October, and quaint harbour. Book a tee time at the world-renowned golf destination of Cabot Links, North America's only true links golf course, or its sister course Cabot Cliffs both ranked among the top 100 courses by Golf Digest. Did we mention you can see the signature 16th hole of Cabot Cliffs from the beach at Broad Cove? And, if you time it right, enjoy a toe-tapping experience at the annual Broad Cove Concert featuring local and international musicians.

The adventures continue with horseback riding through Gillis Mountain Trail Rides, whale and seal watching tours, kayaking, hiking trails, and salmon fishing on the Margaree River. If, after a long day’s activity, you don’t have the energy to cook, the are a number of local watering holes offering an array of dining experiences.

Other nearby attractions include:

- Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the internationally-famous Cabot Trail, named one of “World’s 10 Most Beautiful Highways” by FoxNews.com
- Village of Baddeck on the Bras d’Or Lake where Alexander Graham Bell had his summer estate Beinn Bhreagh
- Highland Village at Iona honouring the Gaelic settlement in Nova Scotia
- Glenora Distillery famous for producing the first single malt whisky in North America
- Celtic Colours International Music Festival

Further information can be found at the local Visitor Information Centre or by visiting cbisland.com.

So, if you’re looking for a vacation experience unlike any other, choose The Cabin … you won’t be able to drag yourself away!

Great cabin on the beach.

Cabin was perfect for the two of us. It’s not fancy but it’s a true cottage feel. The beds were comfortable, the cabin was well outfitted and very clean. The host was extremely welcoming and accommodating to our needs. . The proximity to the great local beach and to the village of Inverness and the Cabot golf courses was perfect.

Our stay at the cottage was breathtaking.

You have to experience this glorious piece of nature that creates a pretty amazing feeling of awe. The private powdery sand beach. The cliffs. The ocean. The sunsets. It is spectacular! This truly is Canadian natural beauty.

Peace and Quiet

Beautiful area of Cape Breton. The cottage is on the beach and is well stocked with anything and everything you might need. The beds are comfortable and the linens are of a high quality, as are the pillows. Ann is a lovely person to deal with and I can't recommend the cottage enough. You will not be disappointed. We certainly were not.

Well loved the cottage

You can tell that this cottage has been enjoyed by family and friends for many years. It is very cozy and the beds are comfortable. Ann has provided everything you need. Just bring your food and you're all set. The beach is great for searching for that special reminder of your time in Cape Breton. The only downfall for me was that the beach had public access. It felt kind of strange trying to enjoy our supper outside while people were driving onto the lot. Our dogs loved running free until someone showed up and we had to leash them. That's what responsible owners do. Other than that, which is no fault of Ann's, it's a wonderful cottage.

Beautiful location

We loved staying at the cabin. It is super clean and stocked with everything you need to enjoy a great vacation….pots and pans, towels, beach towels and chairs, condiments, coffee and keurig, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. The views from the cabin are breathtaking. We enjoyed watching seals right from the deck. It is also close to restaurants and a small grocery store. We found it to be a great location for what we wanted to do on Cape Breton….Cabot trail, skyline trail, gypsum mine trail, highland village. Ann was so helpful and responsive. She is a fabulous host. Just a couple pieces of info that may be helpful because it was info I was interested in. There is WiFi and internet. The internet is very slow so prob not suitable for working. The indoor shower is small, esp since my husband and I are tall. There is a roomy outdoor shower though. The beach access for the locals is right in front of the cabin so you won’t get complete privacy in that sense. The locals are very friendly and we did enjoy talking with people from the area. Many of them have dogs. We brought our dog and he loved people watching. Be sure to take a drive/walk up the road, past the cabin for some amazing views!!! We enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay at the cabin again.

Amazing location near Inverness

We had a great stay at Ann’s cabin! The location, right beside the beach, is amazing. The water was warm enough to swim and play in the waves. The sunsets were terrific. The cabin is small but very comfortable for a family of 4 and is very well equipped (kitchen supplies, beach chairs, games, etc). Ann was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this property.

Ideal for rest and relaxation

We couldn't have picked a better spot for a much-needed early September week's getaway. The cottage is basic in the way we like a cottage to be - equipped with everything we might need but able to take sandy feet and a dog - or a dog with sandy feet - in stride. The bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen are small but completely functional. The living room is huge, with a picture window giving a panoramic view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which has so many moods you can watch it for hours. This is a room that invites you to loll with a book, paint, sketch, knit or do puzzles, if the weather isn't the best. The deck is spacious and well furnished for enjoying the same views when the weather is fine. When a storm or high wind kicks up the surf it's a magnificent sight. We also enjoyed several spectacular sunsets. On a clear night, the inky sky is thick with stars that you never see when living in a city. One night we watched spectacular heat lightning on the ocean horizon for almost an hour. Wearing our beach shoes we waded through the small stream beside the cottage at low tide for some amazing rock hounding around the point. At low tide, the water was warm enough for even us old folks to venture in for a short dip, then wash off in the outdoor shower. What a lovely touch! A short drive away, long sandy Inverness Beach is amazing for walks. For some reason there's also an amazing amount of beach glass to be found there. We aren't golfers but lots of people mentioned the Cabot Links course, right beside the beach. There are also lots of trails for walking or cycling a short car ride away and places such as Cheticamp and the Highland Village at Iona are fascinating for longer excursions. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back again. Thank you, Ann, for making us so welcome.

Perfect Cape Breton getaway

Ann, thanks for sharing your wonderful piece of Cape Breton. couldn't have asked for a better spot to get away and enjoy Cape Breton. Kids loved watching the seals all week in the bay and searching for sea glass on our own beach. would recommend this property to anyone looking to get away. Jeff

Tout équipé

On a adoré notre séjour. Beau chalet toute équipé. Cuisine et douche petite, mais fonctionnelle. Sinon, la douche extérieur est très pratique. Seul bémol, parfois le stationnement de la plage, juste en face, est remplie (une douzaine d'auto) est gâche un peu l'ambiance d'isolement ;)

A Spot to Relax

This place was awesome. Great location, peaceful and beautiful views. The Cabin itself is clean and tidy, also comes with everything you could think of. Although the beach isn't completly private, many locals use it throughout the day, it's still a great spot. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. Would 10/10 recommend. Anne is a great host, with a lovely spot.

Gemütliches Häuschen direkt am Meer

Das Haus ist direkt an einem kleinen Sandstrand gelegen und hat eine sehr schöne Veranda mit Blick aufs Meer und Sonnenuntergang. Wir waren überrascht, wie geräumig das Haus war. Die Gastgeberin war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns gut umsorgt (Klopapier etc. War vorhanden, sodass wir uns nur um Lebensmittel kümmern mussten). Der nächste Ort ist nur ca. 5 minuten Fahrt entfernt. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und das Wohnzimmer ist gemütlich mit Blick aufs Meer. Alles in allem war unser Aufenthalt durchweg positiv und wir würden gerne wiederkommen.

Waterside Gem

A wonderful little place with the perfect location. Very clean and functional, although not very updated. This is what a beach house used to be. When we stayed, it was very quiet. The house is alone in a cove with a shingle beach and a little stream. Local folks use the beach for walks. It might be a bit busy on a Summer day - not sure. The host was very attentive and helpful. It’s proximity to Inverness is also a plus. We would certainly return.
