Everything we needed, the only drawback was the floor in the middle of the cabin was the high point, doors to bedroom didn’t close properly and one bed one person had to sleep up against the wall to stop from rolling out of bed

Well appointed cabin with lots of outside space to enjoy. There's a fire pit, with wood, and a platform for seating. The inside has a well painted kitchen and an outside BBQ. There is a Keurig coffee maker for morning relaxing. The cabin has a heat pump for a comfortable stay. It's a nice quiet place with a view of the water. Stock up on groceries before arriving as the grocery stores are a bit of a drive. All in all a very nice place to spend time.

The host of this VRBO rental has literally thought of everything down to the very last detail. The place was spotless and super cold when we arrived. We had to turn the air conditioning down, but that was totally ok. We used the blue tooth speaker that was provided to play some music and the sound was fantastic! The beds were very comfortable. The only thing I could have wished for was that the gazebo screen curtains were functional because it was a bit buggy outside. The view, however, is totally amazing.

Lovely quiet setting with view

Great location for experiencing Bras d’Or Lake area. Husband and son did charter deep sea fishing from Stanley, 30 min. away. Many thoughtful touches. Host was very helpful and communicative. Good for getting away from it all.

Lisa & Patrick made our stay exceptional with their ease of communication and personal touches. The cabin is clean, cute & comfortable with good access to the many attractions surrounding. It could use a window air conditioner to use at night during extreme heat, but overall we had a great experience and Lisa was very quick to respond to questions and feeback. Highly recommend!

A lovely cabin, nicely decorated with a forest/wildlife design. Very clean and in a great area.The kitchen is well equipped. There was a BBQ available also.The living room was comfortable, with rocker/recliners, sofa, TV and a log burner. Very comfortable.Bathroom was clean and had everything we needed. A good selection of cosmetics, and even some toothbrushes in case someone forgot theirs. Very thoughtful especially as the nearest stores are a fair distance away.Very quiet surroundings with well maintained grounds and a lovely view of the lake. The bedrooms have a lovely countryside design. Comfortable beds and lots of space for clothes. Lots of nice things to do nearby. About 1.5 hours from the Highlands Park and Cabot Trail. Well worth a visit. There is also a list of local recommendations on the fridge.Its been a lovely stay!

I have never given someone "excellent" before, but there is nothing less I can put for this cabin in Boisdale. It exceeded all my expectations! Lisa is a great host, answering all my questions prior to the visit. We were not greeted by large files of dos and don'ts, but with useful information on where to find the remotes, suggestions of places to visit, and invitations to call Lisa; all dotted about the cabin, and backed by inspirational signs on the walls. Lisa phoned once, halfway through the visit, to see how we were. I loved the artwork, the cabin's interior decoration and special dishes we could have used if we wanted to be elegant! The hot water, soaps, towels, bedding and so on were plentiful, clean, fresh and pleasant to use. The TV had everything we needed for viewing when the mosquitoes drove us inside. Every evening we had a different sunset to hold us in awe. Cape Breton is so beautiful with its wildflowers, birds, fish, rocks and waters. We were constantly admiring the beautifully coloured homes we passed, and the white churches, with their spires and cemeteries, especially held our attention. Unfortunately, the deer in Lisa's photos did not materialize. However, the motorways were fun to drive, and people we met were so friendly, we want to experience more.I am 88 years old, and managed well with a walker, both inside and out.The visit was far too short. Yet, even so, the aura of the cabin made me feel renewed, as stress dropped away.
