Scenic Lakefront Apartment on Bras D'or Lakes

DaveRating, 5 stars5 days ago

This is a lovely lower level (back split) apartment that overlooks Bras D'or lake. Super clean and organized with so many nice touches from the hosts! We had freshly baked muffins, coffee maker loaded and ready to start at the touch of a button, fresh butter set out, milk and cream in the fridge as well as burger condiments. Super quiet and peaceful place to stay! Stores, gas etc are about 25 minutes away, so don't expect to walk to a supermarket, but for us the solitude was wonderful. Very nice people operate this airbnb!

We wouldn’t change a thing! The house was adorable, spotless, has a beautiful view and Vee left muffins and fruit in the house waiting for us! Loved being able to use a washer and dryer, everything seemed new and comfy, not like “leftovers” being used to decorate a rental. Do not pass on this home!!!

I spent blissfully quiet nights with beautiful sunsets on this property. What a privilege to be able to use the private beach! The apartment itself is spotlessly clean and homey with all amenities you can think of. Sidney/Baddeck are only 30min away, location is ideal for day trips around Cape Breton (eg Cabot Trail). Elsie and her family were lovely. 100% recommend!

Beach Front Lake House 6 Bedrooms “Capers Landing”

DorisRating, 5 stars8 months ago

There are not enough words to say how outstanding the experience was at Caper Landing and with our host Nikki. I don’t know what else could have been provided but a generous basket of gifts including a lobster stuffie and knit swag toque hats for all 10 of us set the scene for all the delights of the place. So many amenities, even fireproof blankets for the fire pit, the spa like bathrooms, the most fully equipped kitchen I had ever seen, all added up to a luxury hotel experience with Airbnb convenience for a large party. Both levels were unbelievably kitted out, with the lower level giving us all we needed in a second gathering space with all the toys including shuffleboard, games, card table and so much more. Two mirrored floors of beds and baths, with two principle suites and two extra full baths meant everyone had privacy and restful retreats. Everything was first class and beyond. We are booking our return for next year! Brava, Nikki, you rock!

Baddeck Waterfront Home- Paddle the Bras D’or Lake

MonicaRating, 5 stars9 months ago

We have been coming to Baddeck for many years, and this time we were fortunate to find Kristine’s place. Everything about the place was perfect—the stunning view, the immaculate house, and most of all Kristine’s wonderful family. They felt like my own by the end of our stay, and we will most definitely be coming back. Kristine thought of every little detail to make us feel at home, from the zillion channel TV to the coffee ready to be perked.
