Adorable cottage right on the water! This is not a hotel. this is a cottage on someone’s property and the owner was sooo nice! We only stayed one night but wish we could have stayed longer. It was very clean and the Wifi was good enough to watch Netflix on our laptop. the cottage has everything you need, microwave, plates, cups, even a coffee maker. Would definitely stay here again!

It was lovely to listen to the waves at night and to swim in the salt water. As cereal eaters we were disappointed to find one bowl for cereal; on the other hand there was everything else you would need for a cottage stay.

The boat house was wonderful and just what we expected. Billy and Pat are wonderful and give you complete privacy. A little slice of heaven with beautiful views. Baddeck is beautiful and the people are awesome. Hated to leave!!

Wind noise kept us up most of the night. Knocking against the wall. Not sure if it was loose siding or a tree. Highway noise is also a factor

Stunning location
Stunning location literally right on the lake, the views are breathtaking. Accommodation is well equipped and we used the bbq to make the most of the views. Our children swam in the lake the following morning. Useful to know that you need to check in at the restaurant down the road (which we weren’t told during the booking process) but the owner was lovely about it and let us do it the following day. Wish we could of stayed longer.

Was not able to even check in because the property owner did not abide by the check in process listed on the ad and did not answer any calls or emails. Had to get a hotel 45 mins away.
