Summary: Central location odor Cape Breton and the central/coastal areas. Stunning place right on the lake. Sunrises and moonshine on the lake. Hosts are wonderful. Planning our next trip.

Summary: Beautiful property on the lakeside, but it’s about more than just the quality of the accommodation. The hosts have considered every possible comfort and thoughtfully provided it, a fire pit, chairs, canoe and kayak, great WiFi etc. We had a wonderful 3 day stay, and would love to come back sometime soon.
Ioana Aug 16, 2024 07:49:27 AM
Summary: Beautiful peaceful home away from home. Perfect for a family (we were there with our two kids), and we particularly loved being able to canoe with the kids right out of the backyard! Michael and Winnie were lovely hosts too.
Amy N. Aug 5, 2024 01:43:21 AM
Summary: This was the best place ever. Our house was great and so were the hosts. I highly recommend staying at least a week to be able to do everything around. The 4 of us felt very comfortable and relaxed. Thank you both for the best place ever. So clean, and spacious. Until we see each other again.

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay. The home was rustic and modern. Well appointed kitchen with more than everything you need. Quality wine glasses and coffee mugs. Comfortable beds, great living area and the owner brought us some hot homemade pizza. My grandson and I enjoyed fishing and kayaking on the lake. I could watch him fish from the great chairs on the front deck. Great experience!

Summary: If you want beauty and tranquility on or off the water then this is the place. Waterfront coffee mornings looking at the Eagles hunt for their breakfast, fish jumping and more. Activities for all ages, swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing or just hanging out at the lake. The cottage is gorgeous, staying summer or winter. The owners Micheal and Winnie have done a great job and continue to do so. Thank you Micheal and Winnie it was a pleasure. Our paths may cross once again. All the best. Line/Ron
