Everything was as shown in posting. View of Harbour a bit obstructed by sailboat being worked on. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Location for Cabot trail visit and closeness to whale watching tours make this a good spot to stay for 4 people

This place is cozy(small) and charming. We enjoyed watching the boats from the back porch. We did feel the kitchen was not as fully equipped for cooking in. Maybe a baking dish salad bowl/ serving bowl etc?The location is great for the Cabot Trail leading to some spectacular scenery. All in all a good stay in an old fashioned coastal village

We celebrated our silver anniversary trip in Cheticamp and stayed in this charming, waterfront apartment. This rental was perfect, adding a blend of a maritime heritage with modern taste. It was clean, quaint and offered a spectacular view of the fishing pier. As a snow crab capital, it was an honor watching the work boats and crew unload tons of crabs each day, with the option to purchase directly from them! Joeleen is a wonderful hostess and very friendly. She was prompt in answering all of our questions and made us feel welcomed. We highly recommend this rental and would stay here again!

Great location. Walking distance to several restaurants and right beside the pier. Two good sized bedrooms with a full kitchen and even had in suite laundry. The front bedroom is right beside the road but the traffic was minimal during the night and didn’t keep us awake. We did hear the upstairs renters come home really late. This had all the necessities and comforts of home. We would stay here again.

The location of the property is lovely, on the water near a wirking port.
Exactly what we were looking for as a base for exploring the Cabot Trail. Everything we needed nearby, close to the best part of the trail and awesome that we took the whale watching tour right from the parking lot.

Overnight in Cheticamp
Quick one night stay at the beginning of the Cabot Trail! Property is right on the Cabot Trail Road and in front of the marina. Perfect for what we needed. Bit offended by the ‘tip’ jar. We paid a cleaning fee, a service fee and the overnight fee. Bathroom needs a bit of love - bathtub caulking was a bit ick and the extraction fan disgusting. But those things aside bed was comfy, had all the amenities needed and close to many food options! Appreciated the washer and dryer for sure!

Great get away on the Cabot Trail
The La Cale property was a great accommodation for us .. 2 senior couples. Easy access to the community of Cheticamp. Lots of information provided by the owners of activities, places to shop and eat
La Cale was quaint, comfortable and easy to locate.

Sleep by the sea
The apartment was perfect: beautifully decorated, fully equipped, comfortable beds, delicious coffee, and close to everything. The host shared several tips on places to eat and things to do. If traveling through the area again, I’d definitely stay with JS again.
Lovely cozy spot for our stop-over. Glad we found this place, comfortable, clean and close to coffee shop and dining options.

La Cale was a great stay! The house was sparkling clean and beautiful. Everything you could have needed was thought of. Extra towels, linens, coffee, tea, and kitchen items. Stephanie and Joleen had many great suggestions of places to visit and eat. 5 minutes from the Cape Breton National highlands park for full days of hiking and great views. Great communication answered messages quickly. Street is a bit noisy however being right on the marina is lovely.
