Chalet vacation rentals in Nova Scotia

Well furnished secluded peaceful cottage within walking distance of the gypsum quarry lake. Very nice hosts who meet you in their vehicle to guide you to the property (which is slightly tricky to find.) If you’re not a fan of rustic, bumpy gravel roads, this might not be a perfect match for you.

Get some real R&R at this hidden gem, Port Hood Island’s only AirBnB. Arrive by boat which was a great adventure to kick off the trip. Hop around the trails and beaches in the golf cart which also handles luggage and supplies. The house is well-stocked with a thousand pieces of decor to remind you of the island’s fishing history. The charm of a well-built, well-loved Cape Breton home with some original doors, cabinets along with some modern upgrades. Dishes, housewares, appliances and furniture were more than enough for a small crowd. Lots of sofas to gather round, one table for games, another for dining and a third patio table on the deck with the most peaceful view. The only screen you’ll need is sunscreen (but Starlink is onsite for rainy days). The beds and linens were comfy, the bedrooms were spacious. New windows and an open concept made the space bright with spectacular views from all sides. You’ll never find a better host. Agnes was caring, helpful and felt like family.

Our stay at William's place was amazing for us. It had everything we would asked for. Great view of ocean from windows and while eating on deck. The cottage is outside any major towns by about 30 minutes which we knew so we planned our day trips accordingly. That being said the house was very close to ocean and many beaches and parks and trails which was fabulous. William was an amazing host if we had any questions or concerns he was super responsive in handling any concerns. Top notch host for sure would highly recommend this home for anyone thinking about this place.

So peaceful and quiet, it was just what we needed. Beautiful country side, and only 20 minutes to most things we enjoyed, The Blue Mussel and Chez Evonne's were great places to eat. The owners were never on our doorstep, but right handy when we needed anything. Thanks for one awesome vacation John, Charlene and family!

Nous avons loué le chalet pour un week-end à la plage et c’était parfait!! Tout est super beau, autant à l’extérieur qu’à l’intérieur. C’est un endroit avec beaucoup de charme, et l’accès à la plage se fait super bien à pieds. Nous avons adoré, c’était au dessus de nos attentes!

Excellent place, was exactly what we needed and were looking for, more than fulfilled our needs for us and our dog. it's nice to have a place where big dogs are welcome.

Great place with tremendous view! Clean house and as described. We liked it so much we stayed an extra day!

Sam and John's place was just what we were looking for. It was close to Wentworth Ski Hill, but also off the beaten path with lots of quiet and privacy. The house was beautiful, clean and fully equipped with everything you need. Best part was the friendliness and responsiveness of the hosts, they answered every question we had right away and were always available during our stay. Highly recommend this place for friends and family!

This was a great find! It is a beautiful house with stunning views, direct beach access, and a sauna and hot tub.

We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette weekend and had so much fun! The property itself is incredibly private, surrounded by beautiful views of the rolling forest hills and trees. The chalet was immaculate and well equipped with everything we needed. Wendy was a phenomenal host, who was responsive throughout our whole stay and provided us with lots of recommendations of things to do close by. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. 10/10 would recommend!

Chris's home is truly a slice of heaven! we spent a week in this beautiful chalet on a private beach. We use Airbnb a lot and this house and location was one of our favorite. SO peaceful and relaxing,SO comfortable and beautiful, really felt like home away from home for our large family. Right off the Cabot trail, we were able to take day trips around Cape Breton Island and enjoy everything the area had to offer. Chris was super helpful and communication was quick and easy. HIGHLY recommend this Airbnb!

This place is absolutely perfect. From soft towels to every kitchen amenity possible, it has everything you need for a perfect getaway. The host was gracious and inviting, and I will never rent another place in this vicinity if this location is available!

We stayed here for a mini family reunion and found the home to be a fantastic place that accommodated 3 small families plus grandparents. Our kids had a fantastic disco party in the games/bar area complete with disco ball and lights. The kitchen had everything we needed; the living room was relaxing; the bathrooms had great water pressure and the kiddos loved the giant bathtub. The view was unbeatable, we would recommend this place to anyone.

We enjoyed our stay ...the house and property was absolutely beautiful exactly as shown on the site...everything we needed was supplied ...we enjoyed the hot tub and sauna...very comfortable seating and sleeping for everyone ( especially the beautiful sectional sofa) .Beautiful views of the ocean. Nobody wanted to leave. The weather was still cold while we were there but the outside area was totally equipped with everything anyone could possibly need. We would recommend this property and hope to return again during summer months to fully enjoy everything there.

Ernie was a great host, the house was more than we expected! There is so much to do here to keep the kids busy, and be able to socialize and relax the weekend away! Will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks so much! Until next time!

We enjoyed our stay at Katja's place. It was as described and perfect for a family event - some of us hadn't seen each other in 40 years. The beds were as described - very clean.

Our stay at the Eagle House in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, was truly memorable. The property offers stunning lake views, and the serene surroundings made for a perfect getaway. We were captivated by the beauty of the location and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

This is a special place and a we had a wonderful holiday with our family of six adults. Everyone had enough private space and the communal area is large, beautiful, very tastefully partitioned with furniture and to top it off has a bank of windows on three sides looking over a tidal river and forest lands. Wake to rich birdsong and gentle light. The piece of land is enormous and beautiful, with a beautiful variety of birds and wildlife. The river is small and gentle (perfect for swimming, boating) and leads very quickly to the larger leg of river which is amazing for a long canoe trip (check the tide timetable :-). A peaceful, beautiful place for a quiet family getaway. Thank you.

Really nice spot. Very relaxing and loved the access to the water and the hot tub

We stayed at Riann's for 3 nights as our son was getting married at the Sunny Brook Barn. Location was perfect for us to get to the venue daily. Riann had everything we needed to make our weekend perfect. The sunrises were amazing to wake up to. Deck was very peaceful and beach was even more peaceful. Great spot to visit and relax.

Derek's place is a perfect authentic chalet with modern amenities in a beautiful natural setting. Inside was spotless and had everything we might need. Our dog was happy to play in the nearby stream and watch the birds flying to the feeders. It was a great base for visiting Guysborough and Antigonish/New Glasgow.

Es war einfach fantastisch! Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und haben wirklich nichts vermisst. Wie wurden herzlich begrüßt und es blieben keine Fragen offen. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur jedem empfehlen und würde Sie direkt wieder buchen!

unbelievable spot. Just beautiful scenery, loved how cean and decorated. I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants a place to relax. Brent and Christine were amazingly responsive to any questions. gave lots to do around the area. loved the walking trail just around the area. I believe it was called ruby's trail just behind the legion. I have nothing bad to say about the hosts or the property, all in all one beautiful spot and people to deal with, we will be back maybe in the summer time so we can enjoy the boats. Also had a great time fishing in the morning caught a few perch.

What a beautiful spot!! Hilary's cottages are bright and airy, with a wonderful view of the water. It's very peaceful and quiet. It was very easy to find and all instructions provided (both in advance and printed out in the cottage itself) were clear and complete. Hilary was very responsive to messages and super understanding when we made a few changes (like adding and then later removing a couple other guests whose plans kept changing). Would very much recommend these cottages!
