The location, cabin and view are just as described. LR seating and beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Step on the deck and absorb the beauty of the harbor and being in the middle of nature, while only a few minute drive from the town of Antigonish. The game room on the second floor of the adjacent shed was my son's favorite. We played pool, ping pong, darts just to name a few options.The owners are very customer oriented, warm, welcoming and helpful. We so much enjoyed getting to know them are sad to have departed from these good people.

We used the cottage as a base for our trip to Cape Breton. We did day trips checking out the beauty of the local area!

We enjoyed our stay at Ernie and Jane’s cottage - especially the use of the games room! Nice and close to Antigonish to run errands while our kids got settled at STFX and picked up groceries for some home made meals (small but well equipped kitchen - no dishwasher). Beautiful view of the rocks across the bay !

Our hosts were super welcoming & friendly. We had a wonderful time hearing about the history and "happenings" in the area. Location was great for exploring Cape George or zooming into town for shopping and restaurants. The grill and outdoor fireplace were fun for a relaxing evening with family and friend by the fire. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked for all your needs. We roasted coffee beans out by the fire and perfected our pour-over coffee technique. Be sure to go to the farmer's market in Antigonish on Sat (https://www.antigonishfarmersmarket.ca/) to get local produce, eggs, meat and fish. Don't miss the short walk through Antigonish landing where you can find a massive bald eagle nest if you know where to look (inland toward the white house on the hill). There was plenty to do at the cottage. We were working remotely during the day (The wifi was excellent for 4 of us to be online at the same time ) and relaxed during the evenings. The cabin and barn was loaded with games & books. Kayaking & paddling in the evening when the water was as still as glass was absolutely beautiful. We saw a seal, deer, eagles, herons, hummingbirds and a black bear up the road. One heron in particular visited nearly every morning fishing off the boat dock. I would not mind waking to the view every day! The only real negative were mosquitos.They were relentless preventing us from doing more outdoor activities (we visited early Aug). Bring your bug spray.
