What a gorgeous place to stay. The accommodation is spacious and private. Surrounded by trees, the view from the deck is wonderful. The trailer is very well equipped with everything you would need for a week-long stay. The place is spotless and there are some lovely, personal touches which shows that the hosts sincerely want their guests to enjoy their stay. Rick and Pat are lovely, accommodating, and flexible. This is our second stay here and I'm sure it won't be our last.

Hillview Experience

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Hillview Retreat. The accommodations were perfect for the two of us. Our hosts made sure that we had everything that we needed. It was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view. There was even a vase of fresh flowers waiting for us upon our arrival! The setting was quiet and peaceful and convenient for our Cabot Trail tour.

We have been hosts ourselves for over ten years and were so impressed with the hosts and this accommodation. Communication and directions were great. We had absolutely no problem finding the place. The hosts were very responsive and attentive...they are the best hosts we've ever met! The trailer is fully equipped and squeaky clean. The location is so quiet and picturesque. Before leaving, we booked the same dates for next year. We would highly recommend this property for anyone exploring the Baddeck/Whycocomah area of Cape Breton.

Didn’t find the place

I could not find the place I had no contact information from owners I was very disappointed I drove around for 2 hours looking

You left out the part you didn't respond to the Welcome email. You left out the fact you weren't on the right side of the island (our address doesn't exist over there -although they come close). The only reason we connected at all was because I contacted VRBO and during our conference call, you admitted you tried to cancel but learned there was no refund. In addition, you left out the part you told me VRBO didn't have my phone # when you hadn't actually contacted them. I will let the VRBO customer service handle you.

Perfect home away from home

My hubby and I used the Hillview Retreat as a base to explore Cape Breton Island and it was a great place to do that from and to come back to at the end of each day. The trailer is extremely comfortable and roomy. The owners, Pat and Rick, were welcoming and friendly, and we enjoyed meeting them and their doggies and spending a bit of time with them. The trailer was very clean, the kitchen was well appointed, and there were a lot of welcome touches like soap and shampoo, plenty of towels, dvd movies to watch, so many things! It was also great having a washer and dryer in the trailer. We can’t say enough good things about Hillview Retreat. We would highly recommend it to others and would definitely rebook should we find ourselves on Cape Breton again.
