Barb and Allen were all around great! We got to see a pod of whales and the best sunrise, not to mention the generosity ...

About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Ocean front Bunkie.

A quiet, off grid cabin experience overlooking the beautiful Atlantic Ocean with stunning views of the famous Bird Islands and scenic Cape Smokey. Enjoy watching the various activity on the water as many sea birds fly by; including eagles as well as the occasional visit of whales and seals. Listen to the calm sounds of the ocean as it hits the shore only feet away from the front steps. This bunk house is fully equipped. The kitchen has running water, a propane cook top and a small solar fridge with freezer. Also available are a wood stove, propane barbecue, fire pit(with wood), and all linen is provided. Queen bed in loft and futon folds out for double on the lower level. There is an outdoor shower with heated water for your convenience as well as a detached outhouse. The popular ‘Fairy Hole’ hiking trail is a short walk away. The Bunkie is centrally located between historic Baddeck and Sydney if you’re after some more urban excursions. The Cape Breton Highlands National Park is a 90 minute drive. But, you will doubtless want to leave once you arrive at “The Bunkie”.
