Cabot Trail Cozy Cottage Seaside

BobRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We stayed a week in Nadene’s cottage in Ingonish and it was perfect for us. The location is excellent and the proximity to the beach and views are exceptional. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for cooking or grilling and the satellite TV was a bonus. We’ve stayed at a number of places over the years in Ingonish area and none are better than Nadene’s. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Private 89-acre Oceanfront Cottage - Cabot Trail

RobertRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Beautiful…. The house was great. We had a fire every night (Niki stocked with very dry wood, truly appreciated). Kitchen had everything needed for cooking (which we did each night and morning). Bed was really comfortable and bathroom was nice and clean. All of that was great, but outside was even better. The views of the coast and landscape were amazing. We caught perfect sunsets and one night had an unbelievable view of the stars and the Milky Way…. Very private and a perfect relaxing getaway. We could not have been happier with our stay.

Spacious and Modern Oceanfront Retreat

DwightRating, 5 stars6 months ago

We found Nicola’s place to be a perfect location from which to start each day whether we wanted to go in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction for our travels on and around the Cabot trail. The house itself was very clean, well-maintained, and on a lovely lakeside parcel. A family of otters enjoyed breakfast at the same time we did one morning. Fishing season was closed for us, but not for them. All three of them dined and heartily!

“Ocean’s 18”-Cabot Trail Oceanfront Cottage

KarenRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Fred was very responsive and helpful. The place was exactly as described, with a nice balcony with a view of the water. It was very comfortable and well equipped. We really appreciated that it was stocked with coffee and tea, and that there was laundry detergent available. The whole apartment was in pristine shape, and Ingonish Beach is a great place to base yourself when visiting Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

The Pearl - Oceanfront

SelenaRating, 5 stars4 months ago

This place is something special. It’s got a beautiful view of the water…and we visited in Winter - so the winds were so high we got such a thrill watching the waves clash against the rocks and splash the windows. It’s very spacious, clean, modern and easy to find. The WiFi works great! We love the jet tub and we will definitely be back. Shakila was a responsive and pleasant Host. So grateful for the experience!!

The kitchen features a modern design with white cabinetry and light blue tiled backsplash. Stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and stove, are visible. A shelf above the sink holds several cups, while a coffee maker and kettle complete the setup. The wooden floor adds warmth to the space.

Beach, island and lighthouse

TashaRating, 5 stars6 months ago

This is the place to go! So many things were thought through. You could literally live here. Spare throw blankets for chilly nights, games, lots of towels including beach towels, everything you’d need to cook a meal, amazing ocean view, beautiful sunset out front windows. Cute deck and chairs, our own fire pit and chairs, comfy bed and pillows, comfy couch, lots of selections on TV. I’ll be back again!

Cabot Trail beach cottage

WodanRating, 5 stars6 months ago

The location was great with easy walk to beach for sunset. The proximity to the park was wonderful and close to town for easy access to restaurants and grocery store. The house was clean, but dated and very camp like, rustic. Had a few flies and bugs come out when we warmed up house but we're manageable. Overall a nice experience and an enjoyable stay.

Three decorative glass floats in green, orange, and amber hues are suspended in a netting of thick rope. The vibrant colors are captured against a neutral background, creating a striking visual element that enhances the cabin's coastal decor.

Drive-in creekside campsites on Aspy Bay - 1

JamieRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We were so happy to find a place that we could camp in November, our hosts reached right back when I sent a request about availability. This time of year they only allow one spot to be open so obviously private! The location was great for our doing hikes on this side of the Cabot Trail, plus just seeing the absolute beauty of the area. The campsite itself was perfect for us, loved listening to the brook. We have a Tacoma with a camper on the bed, be aware that it’s tight to be able to back into the spot because of the trees. Just a note, absolutely not a complaint!

A modern kitchen features marble countertops and a sleek backsplash in varying shades of blue. Hanging mugs are organized on a rack, and a complete set of appliances, including a dishwasher, oven, and sink, provide a functional and inviting cooking space.

La Maison à MarieJo

FrançoisRating, 5 stars34 months ago

La maison de Marie-Josée est tout simplement parfaite pour un séjour aux Îles. Elle est très bien située, dans un des coins les plus charmants à notre avis. Il y a plusieurs activités à faire tout près, à commencer par monter la butte que l’on voit sur la photo. La vue est exceptionnel de là-haut. La maison est propre, chaleureuse et très bien équipée pour cuisiner. Nous y avons passé une semaine merveilleuse.

LindsayRating, 5 stars6 months ago

What a beautiful place! We are in a midst of a long trip through Maine and Nova Scotia, and Lisa‘s place in Ingonish stands out as a highlight of the trip. It is a real wonder to sit in the living room and look at that vista. There is a quiet and simplicity to being there that I really appreciated. Thanks for sharing this space with others!

New Beachfront Post+Beam Cottage, near Cabot Trail

BonitaRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Wondered how we would fare without tv and ac! Couldn’t be better - the house is a treasure with amazing views and perfect ventilation. Enjoyed a campfire on the beach, a million stars overhead and playful seals in the afternoon. The convenient location to Cape Breton Park is another plus. Would highly recommend!

Entre Mer et Lagune -Le Condo

DanielRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Manon vom ersten bis allerletzten Moment sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist hervorragend ausgestattet und bietet einen traumhaften Ausblick auf das Meer und die benachbarte Inseln. Absolute Sauberkeit und ein super einfacher Check-In. Von der Fähre braucht man drei Minuten mit dem Auto. Manon war immer gut erreichbar und gab uns gute Tipps für die Insel. Die Magdalenen-Inseln sind immer noch ein echter Geheimtipp, besonders jetzt im Herbst waren fast keine Touristen mehr da und man teilt sich die Inseln nur mit den einheimischen Bewohnern. Wir hatten wunderbare Tage und viel Glück mit dem Wetter. Wenn die Anreise aus Deutschland nicht ganz so lang wäre, wir würden sicher erneut auf dieses Juwel im Sankt-Lorenz-Golf kommen. Auf jeden Fall würden wir wieder bei Manon übernachten, merci beaucoup et à bientôt!
