Tina and Vince, we truly enjoyed our stay. The jokes, the conversation and the tips for the Cabot trail were amazing. The view was incredible!! And shout out for the map because gps isn't helpful when there is no signal. It definitely made our day memorable! And yes. I agree. Mr Chicken had great ice cream.

Incredible, friendly welcome from the host when we checked in. The view was absolutely spectacular. Be mindful there is no air conditioning, which was our only issue. The fan provided was a saving grace. The toaster and kettle came in handy. The bed was comfortable and overall we had a good stay!

The couple who own the place are super nice and gave us many hints of what to see and do around the Cape Breton Highlands park. The room was very clean and the view of the water was gorgeous. Plenty of chairs positioned around so that you can sit back and relax and watch the rides rise and fall. The internet router was down so we had a sketchy connection in our room which was at the very end, but near the office the signal was pretty strong. Keep in mind there is no air conditioning but there are windows on both sides to get cross ventilation during the cool nights in the summer. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
