We like go give our guests space but are available by phone, text or email to help guests have a pleasant stay.

Our vacation home is nestled in the heart of the Acadian village of Cheticamp, which is the gateway to the famous Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

We are a short 5-10 minute drive from the fisherman’s dock, whale watching excursions, kayak rentals, restaurants, shops and Le Portage golf course in Cheticamp.

A Few Things to Do in the Area:

1. Hike the famoous Skyline Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Enjoy dramatic headland cliffs overlooking the rugged coast from the end of this level trail. You can enjoy an eagle's view of the Cabot Trail as it winds its way down the mountain.

2. Enjoy whale watching and coastal tours offered by local operators. Watch for whales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the viewing decks. Moose, bald eagles, bears and numerous boreal birds live here.

3. Enjoy live Celtic and Fiddle music at the Doryman Pub and Grill and Le Gabriel restaurants (just 10 min away).

4. Le Portage 18-Hole Golf Course. Tee off beneath the Cape Breton Highlands.

5. Museum/Gallery/Cultural Center -- At Les Trois Pignons heritage center you can dive into Acadian culture and the history of Chéticamp, view an impressive collection of tapestries, rugs and antiques, and plug into their genealogy resource centre.

6. Hike to the swimming hole at the Cheticamp Gypsum quarry. This is a short hike on an established trail/ ATV track that leads you to a beautiful, secret swimming spot near Cheticamp.

7. Swimming at Cheticamp Island Beach. Drive down Cheticamp island road and stop and park at sand dunes.

The best way to get around is by car.

Please note that the embankment and the ocean present a risk for children. Thus, children must be at least ten years of age to stay.

The absolute maximum number of guests allowed on the property is four.
1. No more than 4 guests are permitted to stay at this property. No exceptions.

2. Guests are not permitted to cook lobster, crab or fish inside the home. Fish must be cooked outside on the barbeque using a grill or boilers. Cooking fish inside will result in forfeiture of damage deposit and possible fines of $250 or more.

3. Guests are required to close windows and stow away outdoor furniture when away from the property as unpredictable rains and winds can cause damage to the property.

Beautiful scenic oceanside home
This well-appointed oceanside home exceeded our expectations. The interior of the home is nicely decorated, and the kitchen is well equipped for meal preparation. We enjoyed our evenings on the deck watching the sunset. The location was great for trips into town and the National Park. The owner is extremely organized was easy to work with. He provided us with lots of information about the property and nearby attractions. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to future visits.

Oceanfront Gem
This home is perfect. Not only is it attractive, it is comfortable, very well equipped for almost any need, and belongs to helpful, attentive owners who are ready to assist in any way. This waterfront property is close to restaurants and grocery stores and endless opportunities for outdoor adventures. We highly recommend it! After a day of exploring it felt like “coming home.”

Beautiful and sparkling clean home
This is a beautifully decorated home. Everything truly spotless and seemed to be brand new. Communication with owner Michael was top-notch. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and he provided us with a number of great restaurant recommendations. If we’re up this way again, we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful beach house.
The minute we walked in I was very impressed. Very crisp and clean and loved the beachy vibe and decor. The kitchen had everything you need. The view and the evening sunsets were incredible… You could hear the waves in the house when the doors were opened. Michael, our host was very attentive and made sure we were having a wonderful time !! Would recommend 100%.

Oceanside Villa
A beautiful location and a nicely designed villa. It is just as nice as it appears in the photos. For those who enjoy cooking while on vacation, the kitchen is a gem. Can't imagine there is any kitchen pan or device you'd need that the owners have not provided. Bedrooms spacious and comfortable. Living area has exquisite views--a grand place from which to enjoy the majestic sunsets.

Perfect - everything!
We cannot recommend this place enough! The home is beautiful, so clean and so comfortable. You are literally feet from the ocean. Sunsets are amazing. Even with the remnants of hurricane Lee spilling rain on us, we loved this location. The host, Michael, was fantastic and a great communicator. He walked us through a few safety things regarding high winds, etc. We hated leaving his beautiful property. If you have the opportunity you must stay here! We will be back. If I could, I would give this place more than 5 stars.

Loved This Place!
This beach house was perfect for my husband and me. We went to Cape Breton to hike, explore the Cabot Trail, and eat seafood. Its location on the water, and being close to the National Park was just right. The house was very clean and modern, and the sunsets were amazing. Michael was very accommodating and responsive. He has equipped the kitchen with everything you might need for preparing meals. We would definitely stay there again if we ever return to Cheticamp. BTW, the Acadian Trail, which starts at the NP Visitors Center, is fantastic.

Beautiful luxury retreat
This beautiful, relaxing retreat was at the end of our Nova Scotia adventures. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the site as well as how convenient it was being near Chéticamp and the Cabot Trail. This is right on the ocean, though beach access is just down the road. This is definitely a well thought out luxury rental in every way. It was clean, comfortable and well supplied with anything you might need to stay there. Lovely furnishings and decorating. West facing means you get the beautiful sunsets over the ocean. We loved our stay but wished it could have been longer. We highly recommend this wonderful, peaceful retreat.
