House was perfect for our family. Space was large and comfortable and had all the things we needed. There’s a wasp nest under the stairs closer to the water and hopefully they will deal with that soon.

Beautiful property and a lovely place to relax with the family. The house was clean and the kids loved the movie theatre! Plenty of room to spread out and it was a great place to stay while exploring the surrounding area! We loved the stay and would highly recommend it for anyone planning a family vacation on Cape Breton!

Owner of property was always very quick in replying and thorough with all our email inquiries. The home was very comfortable and spacious for our group of 8 adults, and was equipped with everything we needed. The dining room table was so inviting with ample room for our meals and family games. The lower level was a bonus and we had a ping pong tournament and enjoyed a couple of movies in the theater room. The location of this home was convenient for our trip around the Cabot Trail. Plus it provided much peace and tranquility! The kayaks were utilized by our adult sons and they loved touring the lagoons, and incredible scenery. Our dog loved being able to run freely and we had to indulge his need to swim after sticks thrown into the water daily. Thanks again Bill!!

First, the good - the location was fantastic - the property is on the water, there were 4 kayaks, and the ping pong table and theater room were nice. The bad - the owner provided check-in instructions that were missing a key digit to get into the lock box. The property manager did not show up to meet us as we were told and we could not reach him for an hour. The owner insisted that it was in the directions, which it was not. The weather for the trip was not ideal - there were "historic" rains for the first few days and then extreme heat - the house is equipped for neither. There is no A/C only three incredibly dirty fans which we had to take apart to clean ourselves so they would function. The ugly - the house is very musty inside and gets no cross breeze (the dated cloth furniture doesn't help) and the bugs around the house that get in through the screens were brutal - we left with about one hundred bug bites. The linens and towels in every room were all stained and need to be replaced - there was a large blood stain inside a pillow case in the master, which caused us to wash all of the bedding before going to sleep. Our friend slipped and fell in the main bathroom shower on the first night bruising her ribs because of the very old suctions on the shower mat and poor shower design. We called the property manager to ask about a tandem kayak but he never called back to check on her. Overall just not a great place to stay and needs much more upkeep and attention.
