Beautiful area, convenient distance from attractions, restaurants and the town of Baddeck. Stayed in an adorable chalet - older but clean and well maintained - and loved being able to sit on the back patio with a coffee and watch the lake. We so appreciated having a toaster and small fridge!

Great views. Nice size room & comfortable bed. The a/c was marginal. It left the room humid so the sheets felt uncomfortable. The bathroom was clean but needs serious updating. The WiFi was horrible. The breakfast buffet was overpriced- what a free breakfast would be at other hotels. There was no maid service even though we were told there would be because of the length of our stay. Can’t recommend
