The house was quite nice overall. A little disappointing that the woodstove didn't work, especially as the weather was cool and wet. The water is quite soft, but tastes good; and the water heater works fine. We spent a chilly first night as the baseboard heaters were set to 10C (50F), and the control buttons are really tiny and hard to notice. A heads up from the owner would have been helpful. It was plenty warm once I found the controls. The setting is beautiful, and the stairs down to the lake are sturdy and look less than a year old. The biggest drawback was that the linens were washed in scented detergent and dryer sheets. It gave the bedrooms an old hotel smell they didn't need. I found it hard to sleep until the scent dissipated.

Lake Ainslie Hideaway
The cabin is secluded as in you can’t see your neighbors and right on the water. Lake Ainslie is beautiful lake! The cabin is small but comfortable and well-stocked with everything you’d need. Comfy beds, plenty of towels and a nice shower with plenty of hot water. The owner responded quickly when I had a question. Overall very satisfied with our stay!

Great spot!
Had a great weekend and enjoyed the private beach area, BBQ and fire pit. Nice quiet and secluded spot, and worked well as a base to tour around Cape Breton during the day to see Louisbourg and whale watching.

Our stay was great. Very relaxing. Had all the "comfort amenities" (stove, laundry, ac, wifi etc). Kris was awesome and had outstanding communication. He messaged us to make sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

Private and Quiet
What a wonderful spot to get away from it all. This cottage is in a very private location. It has a good bit of land for outdoor activities. A new set of stairs leads down to the waterfront. The cottage itself is rustic with modern amenities. The kitchen is clean and well stocked with cookware. There are also ample supplies for cleaning and personal hygiene. Host Kris was easily reached by phone for any questions. Shopping is available in Whycocomagh which is 15 minute drive. Inverness beach is also close by and well worth a visit. I would recommend this property for anyone looking for a private getaway with lots of space and a great view.

Family fishing trip
Beautifully located on Lake Ainsley. Steep walk down to shoreline, shallow entrance to the lake, perfect to use waders for fishing. Had lots of fun fishing in this lake and in the Whycocomagh area only 15min away.Tranquile and private setting. Lots of apples trees lining the driveway and mature birch, poplars and maple trees. Rabbits and many birds came to visit :)

Lake Ainslie Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at your cottage Kris. It is isolated from neighbours and very peaceful. Trees in blossom surrounding the area were beautiful. We had a Mallard Duck family at the shoreline and videod a deer that happened by on the front yard. It is located near enough to Inverness and other communities which we enjoyed visiting, i.e. Inverness Beach, lunch at the Coal Miners Cafe, etc. For the most part, you have all of the amenities you need in a cottage, with all new appliances. The shoreline directly in front was a bit difficult but we took your advice and entered at the lowest point of the property. The internet service was a challenge and we appreciate you working with us on that; I know you'll have it set up for your next guests. Many thanks; we would definitely stay again. Helen.
