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!

Wonderful spot for a summer stay near Baddeck
We stayed at Jan's spot for a week the end of June and had a wonderful time. A very comfy spot that is rustic (a nice tradtional cottage feel), but well stocked. Right on the lake for swimming and other activities. Jan is a wonderful host who made the booking experience easy and stayed in contact us during the trip.

Lovely property
We had a great experience at this property. The cottage is much larger than expected with more than enough room for 4 adults and 3 pre-teens. It was so convenient to have onsite laundry and we made use of the outdoor shower after spending time on the beach and lake. We didn’t need anything except our clothes and food! The location is fantastic - very private but minutes from Baddeck and the perfect location to start your day whether you’re doing the trail or going to Sydney. Hosts were great and responded quickly to any questions we had.

Week at the Cottage
We had a fantastic time here - truly a family cottage stay. Located very close to Baddeck (on the same road on which Alexander Graham Bell lived!) means groceries, coffee shops, and places to eat etc are easy to access. We were also near many trails/waterfall hikes. The cottage itself has loads of space for our two families (including 4 teen boys)- two living room areas (with huge window seats and a view and one with a cozy fire place on cooler evenings), lots of beds (could accommodate two families of four and a set of grandparents comfortably), two baths with separate water heaters, and space to be together or separate, inside and out. The owners Jan and Reid were lovely, quickly responding to our few questions, and the caretakers are nearby if you need them (e.g. for more firewood!). Great location for paddleboarding (a schooner and a ferry wreck to spot!) and relaxing by the water or on the deck. We would recommend, and definitely come back. Thank you Jan and Reid!

Wonderful spot !!
The lake house was a perfect spot for our family getaway! The house is set up nicely so that even with 8 adults you have more then enough space . The owners were very helpful and quick to reply to any questions. The lakefront on this property is very beautiful and made for a very relaxing week away. Location provided good starting point for exploring Cape Breton. Would highly recommend!
