About this cottage rental

Located in Nova Scotia, this attractive cottage for $140 per night is a great option for your next break. This country cottage is located in the heart of Cape Breton's Margaree Valley, which is well-known for its lush beauty, its proximity to the Cabot Trail and the top-notch salmon fishing in the Margaree River. Located beside the Nile brook, this is the childhood home of renowned potter Bell Fraser, who for years had an established gallery in a barn on this property, and who now lives nearby on the coast in Chimney Corner. The grounds are lovely and the trees put on a colourful show in fall. This home was built in the 1950’s, but has seen many improvements over the years; there's a renovated bathroom, hardwood floors, a fully equipped kitchen (with tile backsplashes executed by the potter). There are also a deck for BBQ’s, a living room, dining room, and a screened veranda, which is perfect on a summer night. There’s salmon and trout fishing, and excellent craft galleries nearby. We offer satellite TV, premium Wi-Fi and more, so you can unwind after a day on the Trail, the beach or any other day trips. There is a Master bedroom on the main floor with a Queen bed and direct access to the adjoining bathroom. There are two other bedrooms upstairs; one with a Queen bed and AC, and a second with a double and single bed. There is also a good spin-washer and dryer. There is no shortage of things to do in the area. The world-famous Cabot Trail is only 2 minutes away and offers some of the best scenery in Canada. Cape Breton Highlands National Park, with trails, lookoffs and waterfalls, is only 50 minutes away. In addition to Chimney Corner beach (30 minutes away), there are other great beaches to check out nearby: Whale Cove (25 minutes away) at which you can explore a fabulous bluff by the sea, with great views north and south, Margaree Harbour (20 minutes away), with its beach and two lighthouses, the Broad Cove area, which offers a spectacular scenic drive, and a great beach. Southwest of us are the gorgeous rolling hills of Mabou, the town of Inverness, which offer music, pubs and food; the acclaimed new Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs golf courses by the sea (which are only 20 minutes away), and offer a unique golfing experience in Inverness. There are also renowned crafters in the area; interesting quilting, rug hooking, and folk-art sculpture can all be found locally.

The cottage had all the extra kitchen tools we needed , extra bonus washer and dryer.Need larger shower curtain for bathroom hard not to get water on floor. And upstairs are not for anyone with issues very steep and sharp corner on stairs, overall great place we would stay again.

It’s a very nice and very cute cottage. It is settled away from a quiet road, so it’s very quiet. The cottage is rustic but has all the amenities you need. The kitchen was very well stocked with spices, oil and other mains ingredients and cleaning supplies. Lots and lots of dishes and pot and pans. The screened veranda was very nice and we had supper there every night. The beds are comfortable, but the bedrooms upstairs tend to be very warm at night and with only one window AC (which was very noisy)in one of the upstairs bedroom it was not enough to cool the bedrooms and/or to sleep while it was on. Ceiling fan would have been great, although the owner provides many small portable fans. Overall we had a great stay, and love the ambiance of the cottage. The owner communicated very well and the instructions given were clear and easy to follow.

The property met all our needs for a one week stay with family (2 adults + one child) from Germany. The house was comfortable and the location was a perfect spot for exploring many local beaches as well as the beautiful Margaree River Valley. Great local music at the nearby Normaway Inn and fabulous food at the Dancing Goat. Kinross Quilts up the valley is a true hidden gem that should not be missed!
