Lovely location, property was really comfortable and a home from home. Wouldnât hesitate in recommending. We were a 3 generation group of 6 and it worked really well.
The house is very clean. View is spectacular. Wifi didn't work for the first several days, but Mary kindly offered us an unlimited SIM card for hot spot sharing. She is truly the best host! We really enjoyed our stay!
Only reason I gave 4 stars overall rating instead of 5 is because I found the mattress and pillows to be very hard - but that is personal thing. Location was great for us, but not if you want to spend most of your time in the National Park. Inverness is only 20 minute drive and has a really nice beach! Driveway is very steep and was a bit intimidating at first.
The place was very clean and very well maintained, all the amenities were almost new and everything worked like it was supposed to. It had plenty of supplies for all of the appliances & all of the guests.The place was a little further away from all attractions around the area that we visited during our stay. Had no problem communicating with property manager in a timely manner for any of our inquirerys. Overall very happy with our vacation.
Two sets of family stayed at this property and it was more than enough room. The house was very clean and tidy and a comfortable space. Kitchen was stocked with the essentials and all bathrooms had plenty of soap, paper towel and toilet paper.
The host was super friendly and helpful. They were very quick to respond to inquiries and helpful recommendations.
Overall, the property met our needs and we really enjoyed our stay.

The view of Lake Ainslie, the largest fresh water lake in NS, was mesmerizing. Great location to visit the Cabot Trail and Bras dâor Lakes. The best seafood chowder is found in Whycocomagh at Charleneâs. Lunch at the Dancing Goat a must.
The home has all the amenities.
Communication was excellent. Mary checked in to see how we were doing mid week. Kudos.
Our family of 9 people had a wonderful stay. The location was more than large enough, and was very comfortable when we were all there with lots of space. Sleeping options were more than acceptable and comfortable, although it was warm at night for some.
The place was very clean and it is clear the owner take care of the property. The bbq worked well.
Location was good for visiting many areas of Cape Breton, especially Inverness Beach. It can be a bit of a drive to some places, but that would likely be the same wherever we stayed.
Mary was quick to respond to any questions, but we had no issues during our stay.
We definitely would recommend to others. Thainks Mary.
Overall, the place was lovely. It was spacious, clean, and tucked away from it all. The heat pump air conditioning didnât work the best to cool the house, but the temperature at the time were extremely hot! Originally the listing said it had a hot tubâŠ. It did not đ. It also stated there was a waterfall on the propertyâŠ.. if it did, there was no path or signs showing the way.
The ad is now updated and excludes these two things. Which is great for the next guests that rent.
This property was clean, well stocked with basic necessities, and large enough to fit a party of 8 adults comfortably. We were lucky enough to see a couple of beautiful sunsets over the lake!
We traveled to the area to do some motorcycle riding, specifically The Cabot Trail. We trailered 6 bikes in 3 trailers/trucks with 8 riders. This property was a great location to many of the local riding trails . One statement of caution for anyone considering this property for motorcycle riding in Cape Breton. The driveway is gravel packed and fairly steep and It may be difficult for some riders to negotiate. Once arriving at the property, some in our party did not feel comfortable riding/trailering up/down the driveway. Two trailers did drive up the driveway and found the space very tight to turn around in. Mary, the owner, was responsive and was able to quickly negotiate parking for the trailers and bikes for those who were not comfortable using the driveway. We were offered parking approximately Œ of a mile down the road from the house for the trailers and bikes.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and this property met most of our needs.
We had a great stay. 5 bedrooms and 3 baths worked great for us. Sunset was beautiful as described.
Great place for a group of people to us as a golf vacation rental.
We would rent it again. .
The house was very clean and very spacious and comfortable for our group. The house overlooks the lake and the view is beautiful. Our first night the sunset was gorgeous. Google maps over shot the driveway so we had to turn around to get back to it and look specifically for the marker Mary mentioned to us, which was a bit hard to see in the dark, that was our only hiccup. Mary was very fast to reply to me every time and was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you!
Beautiful location, breathtaking views of the lake, private, spectacular house, well organized and stocked with pretty well everything needed. Fire pit was a wonderful evening escape with a sky full of stars! Within easy drive to beaches and amenities. Made our family happy!!!
My husband Stewart, myself and my brother Donald and his wife Diane bought the house in 2018 and did a lot of renovations to it. Weâre all retired and love our island We wanted to share the beauty with visitors so they could relax and get back to the beauty of nature.
