Our property is a historic one, overlooking the estate of Alexander Graham Bell and the bay his historic flight took place on. Our property was owned by his assistant, companion (McCurdy) and one of the founders of the National Geographic Society (George Kennan). Other deeded owners were Samual Cunard of the steamship fame.

We actually stayed in the Hydrofoil Hanger unit at this property, not the cottage on this page.
The unit we stayed in is exactly as it appears in its listing on VRBO. The vibe is simple and modern, open and airy. The unit had everything needed. The location can’t be beat, a few minutes drive to town and ideally situated for exploring Cape Breton.
We loved the waterfront views and soaking in the hot tub after a day of driving and hiking.
We would have liked a few more towels- we were supplied one bath and one beach towel each, and the towels did not dry completely between uses.

This is a lovely cottage. Good access to the Cabot Trail and other areas of Cape Breton. Owner was very helpful with great suggestions on things to do.

My husband and I stayed at here as we explored the Cabot trail and the Cape Breton area. The location was perfect and John gave us many great ideas of things to do and places to eat. The little cottage was perfect for our vacation with a small kitchen with everything we needed to cook a few meals for ourselves. The bed was very comfortable.
5.0
Our five night stay in Baddeck couldn’t have been more comfortable. Our beautiful and very well appointed two bedroom cottage overlooking the lake was so private and peaceful. Spotlessly clean and up to date; big bonuses included an efficient washer - dryer and a hot tub on the deck from whence to gaze at the stars above. Located close to the charming Baddeck center, this cottage is a great base for exploring the Cabot Trail and all of Cape Breton. Highly recommended.

This cottage had everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable with great pillows. Great shower too. Very quiet at night. The host, John, met us when we arrived and made a number of suggestion on places to go and restaurants to eat at. He was very friendly and helpful. All-in-all it was a perfect place for the two of us.

Broadwater Inn's Garden Shed is a pleasant spacious cottage in a quiet part of Baddeck, which is a great base for the area. The cottage and hot tub have views across the road and past lakeside houses to Bras D'Or lake. The main building of the Inn (with reception for check-in) has historical associations; John is happy to talk about these and other local matters. Kitchen has a good range of appliances, but is light on utensils and workspace.

We stayed in this cottage for 4 nights. The location was great. Baddeck is a pretty little town and is at the beginning or end of the Cabot Trail. The cottage was nice and had a nice view of the water. The bathroom was excellent. It had was handicapped accessible and had two different sink areas. However, The kitchen had minimal cooking supplies. It would be difficult to cook a full meal in the kitchen. We only used it for breakfast.’

There is lots of local history to discover, great shops and a lovely waterfront in the town of Baddeck. Be aware that most of the shops close at 4pm and the hospital is not open on the weekend. Our initial check-in was delayed as the owner was not on the property when we arrived. But after making a phone call John quickly arrived. John is very knowledgeable about the Island and owns that best bakery on the island. Be sure to try the Porridge bread!
We stayed in the Gardener's Shed. It was clean and offered us the basics of what we needed during our stay. My only criticism is that the outdoor furniture on the deck was in desperate need of repair and there is no where to sit and eat your meals outside. It would have been nice to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view.

The Gardner’s Shed is a little piece of heaven! It is spacious, well-appointed, comfortable with everything needed for our stay. The hot tub was an additional bonus and very user-friendly with John’s clear instructions. House-keeping staff were efficient, attentive while respecting our privacy. Communication with John was excellent; he answers calls immediately , is most amicable and we would recommend his place to anyone! Thank you John & family!

This property has everything a traveller could desire. Conveniently located, lake view, great amenities including a functioning hot tub. The bed was comfortable and the cottage was well stocked and aesthetically pleasing. Communication with John, our host, was exceptional. John helped us plan our Cabot Trail sightseeing which eliminated a whole lot of stress from our vacation.

The Garden Shed property was clean. The landscaping could use a little sprucing up but the interior was very welcoming and had everything we needed. The listing pictures are outdated, as everything in the pictures look freshly painted. We couldn’t sit on the wooden deck chairs because they were very old and splintery. When I asked for a couple of different chairs, seeing as how the main house has nicely painted ones, we were told to just throw a towel over them. In the mornings I wanted to go outside and read in the peace and quiet but didn’t have the opportunity to do so because it was not comfortable outside. We were on an anniversary trip away without kids so this is something I looked forward to. I could have gone over to the main house but our purpose for renting a “private” cottage was to be able to do everything without anyone else around. We certainly couldn’t hear the waves as the listing stated because there is a highway between the cottage and water, which I wish was mentioned because we were disappointed about this. The hot tub was wonderful in the evenings. The main reason I gave 4 stars was because the listing pictures need to be updated and the amount of space between the cottage and the houses/road is deceiving as they are much closer than they look (we were looking for a place with complete privacy). Overall we enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend The Freight Shed for a dinner and the Bean There Coffee Café for a Latté & blueberry scone (I wish I bought a dozen)!

The cabin was actually better than what we expected. It was layed out beautifully, the bathroom was huge and even had extra jets in the shower. For us, the private hot tub was such a treat. It was extremely enjoyable looking at the water and viewing the stars at night. Will definitely return.
