Absolutely beautiful property and house. The kid loved playing on the beach and outside. A little far away from restaurants and grocery stores so make sure you plan accordingly!

A gem of a property for visiting Cape Breton Highlands NP
If location is everything, then this property is the perfect base for visiting the best of Cape Breton Highlands National Park and its lookouts and hiking trails. And the bonus is the lively and fascinating town of Chéticamp nearby, with a good selection of restaurants, shops and supplies for your stay. We visited for six days and barely had time catch our breath from the invigorating hiking to the unique cultural activities - all nearby to the property. We were that good kind of tired every night. The house is clean and comfortable and very livable - we recommend this property highly!
