About this cabin rental

Situated on a hillside overlooking the historic St. Ann’s bay, the Old Trail cabin is conveniently located just 5.5km from the start of the Cabot trail and the Gaelic College.
A great spot to start or finish your Cabot Trail adventures!
The cabin is designed to feel as open and airy as possible for a small space.
The bedroom has a queen bed and the loft has a single bed.
Kitchenette has coffee maker, toaster, mini fridge and microwave. All amenities needed are only 15 mins away in Baddeck.
- Please note that there is no oven/range in the cabin however there is a Bbq for your use.

The Old Trail cabin sits just off the original Cabot Trail. The old road is now a walking path that leads to the Lewis mountain multi use trail.

Enjoy the beautiful views of the bay from the porch or living room while unwinding after a day of adventure.
Cell phones do work there and it has high speed internet. Although it is encouraged that screen time be replaced with socializing, games, star gazing and good old fashioned getting outdoors.

A short walk up the paved road is a lovely beach which is accessible through the Macleod pioneer cemetery.

There is a outdoor fire pit, please check to be sure a fire is permitted, simply google “NS burn map”

Plenty of local sights, hikes and activities all within a five to fifteen minute drive. Including kayaking, restaurants, fishing and waterfalls.

Things to note about the cabin. You can drive a vehicle right up to the door, but it is a bit steep and a little tight. But not to worry if you are uncomfortable with it, there is ample flat parking 50ft away.
Due to its location and the ladder stairs leading to the loft, the cabin is not wheelchair accessible and anyone with mobility issues should also be aware of these obstacles.
Please be aware that there is no oven/range in the cabin.

This cabin was superbly located at the beginning of the Cabot trail just as we wanted. Incredibly clean, quiet & well appointed (condiments, coffee, tea, sugar, etc). HUGE outdoor space & screened in porch to enjoy nature, relax in the hammock or sit by the fire pit with the chairs provided. The VIEW of the water below is stupendous! Pet friendly & lots to explore on the property! Definitely recommend! A big thanks to the host for their attention to detail & quick responses!
