We originally booked the cottage to do some hiking, however trails in NS were closed due to risk of wildfires, understandable. We still had an awesome time, drove the Cabot trail, went to the beach, explored the area. We will be back and will definitely stay here again. The cottage was perfect. The kitchen had all necessary tools, everything was clean, the space was cozy.

Great Location for Exploring Cabot Trail
Overall we enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. Location was a great home base for exploring the Cabot Trail. Lovely property with access to hiking trails right on site and just a short walk to the ocean. The only issue I would note is that the floor is two different heights between the kitchen and living/bedroom area. This is a bit hazardous and we had to be careful until we got used to it. Both my husband and I either tripped or stubbed our toes.I would suggest doing something to make the transition in heights more smooth.

Bliss!
Things are meticulously planned out and well appointed. Adorable tiny house get-away! It allows us to eat simple meals and get out on the trails and beaches. Come back to read a book on your own personal deck or grill a feast. Quiet sleeping, away from the main hubbub, but scenic easy-peasy drives. The Island is stunning! The owners are absolutely lovely and helpful!
