The waterfront with gazebo, paddle boat, canoe and sitting area are the main attraction at this basement suite. Unfortunately, we were rained out for 3 full days and spent our time inside, so offer that perspective. The kitchen is well-equipped. WIFI is good. We found the seating (1 love seat, 3 backless kitchen stools) somewhat uncomfortable for long periods of sitting (to read, for example). Upstairs noise is easily heard downstairs (footsteps, TV, vacuuming, flushing toilet drains). Washer and dryer are appreciated but these are setup in the kitchen. A full mattress is also stored in the kitchen. A TV screen would be most helpful for rainy days. The hosts are friendly and were responsive to a water leak. Games, puzzles and books are provided. Recommended for sunny stays.

Great place to stay! Quiet and picturesque right on the lake, with a large fire pit, seating area, gazebo and paths to explore. You may be entertained by the bunnies hopping around or maybe the haunting call of the loons. The inside is just as special, well stocked with everything needed for a wonderful stay. The hosts Christine and Karen went overboard to make sure we were made welcome while giving us the privacy we needed. They were more than available to assist with directions, advice on car repairs or just to chat when we wanted. I would recommend the place to anyone who wants to get away, enjoy a swim, a bit of boating or to just lie in the sun. Thank you, lovely ladies, for our restful few days!

The woman's touch was evident; we didn't have to ask for anything extra, there were ample towels and everything was thought out in advance. The setting was idyllic, peaceful and serene. We enjoyed the meditation zone; it was magical. One should be aware there are no grocery shops or restaurants nearby. One is advised to arrive with supplies needed for your stay. The location is isolated but a welcome respite after days of travel. The Louisbourg fortress is a 35 minute drive away.

A gem of a property on a pristine, serene lake---with every amenity imaginable. Gazebo for lake gazing , dock for swimming and canoeing , easy paddle boat , vegetable gardens , cleared walkways , vista spots to special views and meditating ... and that's just the outdoors. Inside are designer touches, new appliances, stylish furniture, natural light, large rooms, and a great bed. And best of all the hosts who love this place and love sharing it. We felt blessed.

Absolutely perfect getaway. Amazing downtime experience. The hostess are the best, staying discreetly in the background in their own space.. my husband enjoyed the fishing,the canoeing and the exploring of the area. Quiet and peaceful and hostesses who were very helpful, friendly and went above and beyond I would recommend staying here for a night a week or whatever you wish ... awesome :)

Lovely retreat property on a great hidden lake

Christine and Karen were both welcoming and easy to communicate with in the lead-up to our stay. They sent us a message the day before letting us know that the apartment would be open and available on our arrival as well as their phone numbers to contact for any issues. The site was as depicted in the listing, and very comfortable for two. There is no television, which was perfect for us but may be something to be aware of for others. The bed was very comfortable and spacious, and the lake is only steps away. There is a reasonably stocked kitchenette that includes a two-burner induction hot plate, microwave and propane BBQ next to the gazebo down beside the lake. Ample parking! A beautiful and relaxing retreat for anyone looking to escape (but the high-speed internet makes sure that if you -need- to connect, it is still possible.) PS: The washer and dryer was awesome, as we were half-way though a two-week trip and needed a suitcase reset!

Best place to stay in Cape Breton

The location of this property gives easy access to several prime tourist sites. The property and lodgings are immaculate and have all the essentials. While you may find this in many places, what was unique was the open armed welcome we received. So friendly and included us in a dinner with neighbours and community members. Great attention to details like a welcome bottle of wine, use of the waterfront, canoe, horseshoes, life jackets, paddles and a bbq. We will be returning next year to explore more of the east coast! We highly recommend this location!

Our host Christine was very friendly and shared her enthusiasm about the property and the area with us. The apartment is very spacious, comfortable and clean. It's what they have done with the property itself that really excited us. Set on a lake, they have a dock to allow you to get in the water using one of their boats or for a swim. Lots of seating areas, including a screened in gazebo. They have built a meditation path down to the lake, with wonderfully musical chimes playing in the gentle breeze. Another pathway leads to two chairs where you can sit and enjoy the sunrise. Sadly we only booked one night here. Next time we will stay for a longer time at this beautiful, relaxing property.

Beautiful spot!

We loved our time here! We spent most of our days and evenings on the dock, in the hammock or in the gazebo. The hosts were lovely and allowed us to have as much privacy as we wanted.

Best sleep in years

Can't say enough about our stay. The property is gorgeous and quiet. The unit is lovely with excellent water pressure and amenities. It' is a one bedroom but they provided us with a very comfortable extra mattress for the second person. We played scrabble till our faces hurt from laughing. Christine and Karen are lovely people who offered us the a late check out time before we left. We had our dinner in the Gazebo then coffee in the morning. it was so relaxing we didn't want to leave. The water was calm, the birds were singing and the Bald Eagle flew by. We used to paddle boat to putter around the lake and take pictures. We walked around the property admired the flora which included lady slippers, Everything you need is provided and the main bed was the best sleep I've gotten in years. Can't say enough about our stay.

This is a beautiful property and very comfortable accommodations. Quiet and private. My husband enjoyed swimming in the lake and we had fun on the paddle boat.

Relaxing escape

We were blown away by the apartment, so modern and clean and extremely peaceful, but for us it was the gazebo on the lake! We were greeted by a loon calling, an eagle overhead. It was a great time. Pleasant, friendly hosts
