Nestled amidst the majestic peaks, this secluded home offers a serene retreat away from village life. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of mountains, it provides unparalleled tranquility and a direct connection to nature's wonders.

Step outside, and you'll find yourself within easy reach of hiking trails that wind through pine-scented forests and lead to breathtaking viewpoints. The crisp mountain air invigorates as you explore these paths, each step a journey into the untouched wilderness.

Come winter, the landscape transforms into a playground for snow enthusiasts. With snowmobiles revving nearby, adventure beckons just beyond your doorstep. Imagine the thrill of gliding through pristine snowfields, the quiet thrill of discovering hidden valleys blanketed in winter's embrace.

Back at the house, the views of snow-capped peaks or vibrant autumn foliage, depending on the season. Inside, cozy spaces await, where evenings are spent recounting the day's adventures or simply soaking in the peace that only a mountain retreat can offer.

Beautiful serene setting. Convenient to Cape Breton. We were here to take in some of the Celtic Colours and it worked well. Just a note I would add for some it might matte is that larger bedroom is up several steps.

This may be one of our favorite places we have stayed. The property is in pristine condition, and the setting is so peaceful. It is a wonderful place to recover from hiking through Cape Breton. The amenities are vast; Lynn has stocked the home with great detail to attention. There is no doubt that if we are back in the area, we will be staying here again and encouraging others to do the same.

This a beautiful property set in a huge garden area which even has it's own flag pole. Loads of room for games if you have children (or adults). There is plenty of outdoor seating with uninterrupted views of the mountains to the rear.The actual property was absolutely immaculate with the owner providing everything you could possibly require for your stay.The owner was very helpful with the directions and check-in process very easy to follow.I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this fantastic property.

Breathtaking Huge Backyard

I couldn't keep my mouth shut up after seeing huge backyard. I was so satisfied with well-organized house for family guest. We didn't have any reasons to complain because hosts already prepared to relax, cook and barbeque. We could enjoy a great barbeque with beautiful sunset. In addition, it was so close to stunning gypsum mine lake and spot for whale-watcing. I strongly recommend the two spots that touched my family if you stay this awsome house. (I'm Korean, so plz understand my mis or confusing-expresseions)

Perfect family getaway

The photos of this place do not do it justice. Our stay was lovely! The hosts were quick and so easy to communicate with, and their guidebook in the house added to their charm! So much detail, cultural respect and sharing. The darkness of the night sky was an added bonus as we were there during a meteor shower. Had everything we could have needed. I’d highly recommend :)

Home away from home 💜

We loved this cute little home nestled in the mountains. Everything was perfect from communicating with the host, to the first steps in the home and our stay! The worst part was that we were only there for two nights. The home is very cozy. It had fast wifi and lots of channels and movies for those days when your too tired to walk and more trails. We have already started planning next years summer holidays and this place is on our list to stay for sure! 10/10 Thank you again!
