2-Bedroom Cottage On Lake Ainlsie Private Beach, Enjoy Fishing & Swimming.
10/10 Excellent
"The place was amazing, very quiet and secluded with a beautiful view of the lake . The host was fantastic to deal with and quick to respond when any answers were needed. I will definitely be booking again. "
"I was desperate to love this place. How cool to be able to stay in something like that?
First, there was an issue with my reservation. So the owner wasn't really prepared for us. It looks like they are in full construction mode so the area wasn't as neat as could be. His workers had music playing next to our dome, but he addressed it when we texted.
There should be a curtain for the door. We make a makeshift one.
The tv was missing the remote. The owner addressed it quickly. Unfortunately the wifi didn't work to the dome, so no tv.
There wasn't any water for the coffeemaker. And there was a surprise empty Mickie behind the microwave. Great to have these things but missing the mark about paper towel, napkins, plates, utensils. Maybe hand sanitizer since no sink or water.
My problem was with the bathroom facilities. You have to go up to the main building to use the washroom. Ok, but if you really have to go, there wasn't anything else. It was also rainy so it was not convenient at all.
The owner was great and very friendly, unfortunately not very prepared. Would we stay there again? No. Was it a cool experience? Yes. Would I recommend it? No and I feel sad about that."
"We loved this quiet clean room with its great view. The deck chairs were bright and comfortable. We knew it was off-season so didn't expect the pool but would have appreciated knowing the complimentary breakfast wasn't yet available."
" It was a great place to stay. All self contained with a pub, liquor store, coffee shop. Perfect for an overnight stay. Beds were comfortable and it was very quiet. Beautiful scenery."
Writer’s Retreat. Secluded Waterfront Bras d’Or Lake, Cape Breton
10/10 Excellent
"Sandy and John are what Cape Breton hospitality is all about. Their well appointed home has everything you need and more. The magical path to the beach is lit with fairy lights and although a fire ban was in place during our visit we enjoyed their deck fire pit on crisp October nights. The house is secluded and surrounded by beautiful fall foliage. Internet and a large screen smart tv are available for rainy days. Not a sound was heard or a living soul spotted during our stay and we slept oh so well. Our only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. John and Sandy are responsive hosts and we highly recommend their lovely home. "
