Great place with all the amenities and a great view! A great hostess, a fridge full of the essentials, quiet and peaceful. The only negative is that is not close to major attractions. But if you are spending a few days in the area.. superb! We visited Louisbourg, Baddeck (don't forget the Alex Bell museum) Skyline Trail, museum 3 Pignons- all very interesting but in different directions.

A beautiful oasis of calm

A lovely property in a gorgeous location. Very quiet - hardly any traffic noise as it is off the main road. A beautiful oasis of calm. We had a wonderful three nights here as part of a road trip and could happily have stayed much longer. The kitchen was very well stocked. Aileen was welcoming and helpful, we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Beautiful cottage in serene location.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and very well-equipped, and the property manager is extremely kind and welcoming. A beautiful getaway with a stunning view that is within a short drive of stores/gas/eateries, as well as cultural events in Port Hawkesbury, Judique, Baddeck, and the Gaelic College. Would definitely return!
