Cozy house in a great location
This house was centrally located to everything we wanted to do while in this area of Cape Breton. It was quiet and comfortable and we appreciated being able to do laundry. I would recommend it to other travelers.

Perfect location for the Cabot Trail and all Cape Breton adventures!
The location could not be closer to the Cabot Trail and one of the most beautiful drives in Canada. The house is only minutes from Baddeck, which is a picturesque town full of Cape Breton charm and culture. We were on the go most of the time so we did not spend a lot of time at the house but it was ideally located for what we wanted to do and cozy when we came back to sleep. Just an FYI and not a complaint but because we were coming and going all the time, the turn out on the highway can be a bit of an adventure if the highway is busy. Zero problem if it's not. Special thanks to Kim for shipping back the rain jacket my oldest kid forgot while we were there.

Tale of two halves
Good location, easy checkin. Main level of property fabulous with nice bedroom, lounge, well equipped kitchen and amazing laundry facilities and bathroom with plenty of towels. However, unfortuately basement level rooms not as good. Smell of damp in twin queen room and problem with ants and other bugs in room and bed.

Christened new BBQ with T bones
Host messaged when house was ready and was quick to respond to any questions. Brand new BBQ on deck which we cooked steak on. Laundry was handy after staying several nights in Halifax. Very handy to Cabot trail. Air-conditioning for those hot days appreciated.

Best place to stay in Cape Breton
I can’t recommend this place enough, and it most definitely won’t be our last time to visit. We were storm stuck here and Kim went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we were comfortable and safe. Again, we will definitely be back and look forward to our next stay. Thank you Kim again.

This house was a good place to stay as we enjoyed the Celtic Colours music festival. Its location made it easy to get to the concerts, and it is minutes from the Cabot Trail. It t had everything we needed, and the owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Pleasant and affordable location as jump-off to Cape Breton activities
Good location for accessing the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands NP. Also only a few minutes away from The Gaelic College and its wonderful weekly Wednesday night ceilidhs. Only real downside of this property is its location so close to Hwy 105, which means there is a fair amount of traffic noise in what would otherwise be a very peaceful setting. Driveways were a bit hard to spot.

Convenient location
Kim was a very gracious and responsive host and has a lovely location close to Cape Breton trail, about 10-15 minutes away from stores and amenities. Overall the house was clean and comfortable. It was a bit tricky to locate the property coming in the late evening, even with the instructions. I'd recommend more visible signage. Beds were Ok, the main bed upstairs could be more comfortable. Some brighter lighting on the lower floor would be better as well. Towels should probably be replaced as they have a musky odour, and some holes in the walls on the lower level should be closed up. We found a few ants and a mouse. Overall though, the property was a good stay.

It was a short but enjoyable stay. The property is spacious, clean and convenient to access a lot of attractions. Kim had provided great service and is always timely on any of our inquiry. Definitely will consider the same place in our future visit to Cape Breton.
