Perfect family getaway

Large cottage perfect for families. Rustic but very comfortable and clean. My boys loved exploring the rooms and playing with the board games. The views of the water were stunning. The owner was great at communicating and always a text away. Our only issue was backing our 21 foot boat into the driveway. Otherwise it was a wonderful vacation! Perfect for large families!

Grandma's cherubs!

I traveled with a friend and 5 of my grand children. After covid shut down I thought it would be nice to connect. We picked this place because of its solitude. We toured the Cabot trail and had a wonderful swim in the ocean. Baddeck was 5 mins down the road so easy access to restaurants and unique stores! We fished at the cottage and released, but so enjoyed our time together. Went whale watching and enjoyed seeing them so much! The cottage it's self had very comfy beds and was well equipped. I would say we had a wonderful time and would love to rent again! 😊 Having 5 teens I would suggest maybe a paddle boat, kayak and canoe. Just for the down times and to let them explore. Hoping to return next year! Thank you Jan.

Great setting for a family retreat

This lovely property is in a beautiful, serene, and quiet location only a few minute drive from Baddeck. The house has rustic charm and is well maintained and all details are carefully attended to. It's an uninsulated structure, so will get warm during a hot day, but even in July it cools off nicely at night. No AC but plenty of fans and operational windows. If you have your own boats/paddleboards/watercraft this would be a great property to rent. If you don't (we did not) it's just a beautiful setting to enjoy. In the middle of July there was little activity on the lake, and you can barely see the next house down the lake, so it feels like a completely private setting. There are lots of sleeping spaces and rooms with doors so its easy to have some privacy, along with a really great main gathering space with dining table and windows facing the lake. Kitchen is small but completely functional. There's even an outdoor shower! Jan, the host, was a pleasure to deal with and responsive via text and offered much helpful advice. Our family really enjoyed being in this home for our summer holiday.

Cozy cottage

We had 3 generations staying in this lovely cottage. It really felt like a home, not a generic rental. Beds and bedding were comfortable. Location is very convenient to Baddeck and points NE. Loved the dock, through the water was still too cold for us the first week of July. We just wanted to stay all summer!
