Cozy cottage w/sunset views + quick walk to a private beach (dog friendly!)
Welcome to Sunset Lane Cottage. This cozy space is the perfect Cape Breton Island retreat! We are on a beautiful half acre private property with boho-cottage beach decor. Are you into stunning nightly sunsets, private beach walks, relaxation around the fire pit, and delicious baked goods? We've got you covered! We are located off of the beautiful Cabot Trail for your convenience. If you are an ocean lover, you can either walk 3-5 minutes down a private path to your own beach, or drive 2 minutes up the road to Le Buttereau, which features stunning Highland Park views as you picnic, swim, play, stand-up-paddle or kayak in your salt + fresh water haven. Sunset Lane Cottage is located 0.5kms to Aucoin's Bakery, 3.9kms to the Highlands National Park, 2.9 kms to the Gypsum Mines, 2.5kms to Cheticamp, local restaurants, and Le Portage golf course, and 12 kms to the Skyline Trail.

What a great place to spend time. It was perfect for our Cabot Trail experience. Thank you so much for checking in on us Cam, we really appreciated it. Your cottage had everything we needed.
We really enjoyed the cottage and were glad to find beach chairs and bug spray! There were lots of things to do, go to the beach, the coffee shop and art gallery, kayaking, hiking and whale tours.
Great house in great location! Cabot trail access, Gypsum mine, Whale watching and Cheticamp has everything you need (grocery store, liquor store and restaurants). My teenagers loved the access to the beach and the wi-fi was great. The adults loved the quiet private deck for morning coffee and evening beverages. This house was the cherry on top of a wonderful family vacation. We have already recommended it to many family and friends.
First experience renting with Vrbo, and it was beyond our expectations. This cottage is beautiful and very well maintained. Location is perfect, very quiet area, it's close to bakery, (Aucoin) a must try, trails, stores and restaurants. Angela is an excellent host, we had enough supplies to last us for our 6 nights stay. We enjoyed our stay. Fire pit was a nice added bonus.
2 moms traveling with adult daughters found this cabin to be a wonderful place to stay that fit our needs perfectly. So close to Cape Breton Highlands National Park for hiking and wonderful restaurants nearby to try. We enjoyed our time here exploring the private beach and playing the games provided. Angela and her family were fantastic hosts!
Wonderful dog friendly cottage to relax and explore the area
Beautiful place to stay while exploring the area. A short walk down a private trail leads to the beach. Property was very clean and well stocked for any traveler. It was the perfect place to come back to after a long day of hiking and fishing. We started and ended our days on the beach. Used the supplied lobster pot to cook lobsters on the deck. The clothesline was in use drying out our waders and rainy day clothes. Only wish our schedule allowed us to stay a little longer. Being within walking distance of an incredible bakery was a bonus!
We had a wonderful time in the cottage during the cold season. Angela was extremely helpful and always available. We loved the area, the beach and the snow in the national park. Everything was perfect!
Lovely place to stay on the west coast of the island
Wonderful place to stay. Great location, very comfy and well appointed. We had a wonderful time spending 6 days using this as our home base while exploring all over the highlands park.
Will definitely stay here again when we return to Cape Breton.return
This was our fourth and final stay on our Nova Scotia vacation and it was lovely, so restful. The cottage was perfectly wonderful and we left with grateful hearts.
This was more than just a place to base your adventures from it was also great to relax, hang out, be right at home in. The nearby beach is huge and beautiful and the cottage is adorable and comfortable! Had everything we needed and more right at hand.
Very much enjoyed our stay here, the property was so clean and cozy and it was in a perfect location for some beautiful views. We hope to be back one day!
Hello/Bonjour! We are the Chiasson's: Amelia, Angela, Carrie, Greg and Camille. We are proudly Acadian and we are from the Cheticamp area. We purchased Sunset Lane Cottage as our home away from home, as, all 3 "children" live in different parts of the world. Amelia and Camille (mom and dad) live a hop, skip and a jump from this property. We are eager to share our cozy sunset haven with others who visit this beautiful area. Thank you for being here :).
It's a feeling. When you walk in, you will know what we are talking about. This property gives an overwhelming feeling of cozy vibes with stunning sunset views. It's the perfect space to connect with others, yourself, and nature. We believe that relationship and connection is everything. You will feel that here.
Our favourite things to do? Barbecues, lobster boils, music around the fire pit, and strolls to the beach for salt water swims. You will NOT want to miss the views that this property has to offer.
