Cute cabin
These little cabins are very cute. The top row appear to be the original ones with the bottom row, closer to the water, appearing to be newer We grabbed an original one because it had a kitchen and bbq grill and aince it was off season and we werent sure about restaurants, we figured we'd cook. Good idea since the restaurant here was closed and whatnfew others there are were a bit of a drive. Check was easy, parked right in front of the unit. Cabin is rustic but clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom was small but functional, the bedroom was fine. Theres a living, dining area which was comfortable. The deck was great and we caught the last of the sun before it dropped behind the hills and wstched the water. It was quiet and weslept well. When we enquired about ice for our cooler to keep meds cold the next day, becaus3 the restaurant eas closed they had none so the lady brought us her own ice tray so we could make some overnight. Above and beyond service

Noisy upstairs
I would have given more stars, but we were woken up just before 5:00 AM both days by someone loudly moving furniture around in the room just above us, which was next to the office. I don’t know why guests would be scraping furniture across the room and clunking and dropping things — my guess is that the room was being renovated, because I don’t think it was occupied. Otherwise, cute place, clean, spacious rooms, comfortable, decent price. Just be wary of downstairs rooms. No soundproofing, apparently.

This is a lovely spot albeit away from many amenities has new flooring the bed does not have a box spring so it was a little like the old spring type support but still okay. It was clean and the staff very friendly. I would stay here again.

Beautiful location and view! Lower cottages where we stayed away from the highway on Cabot Trail, so very peaceful. Restaurant food was decent but nothing special. No liquor license so was quite empty. When we arrived they were unsure if the Restaurant would open that night.

we got to stay in cottage d, perfect for a couple who is very close - everything you need all in one open airy and clean layout from bed to bath to living room couch and dining table - stunning view, even from bed, lovely balcony, grill out if you want - even better, walk up to the little restaurant on site and enjoy the excellent dumplings and a rice bowl with veggies (with or without meat, with or without heat). could hear the lapping of water from the bay from the balcony and see a million stars out there at night! beautiful deep bathtub! it's very romantic or relaxing for a solo traveler! the family who owns and runs the place are wonderful and offer amazing service! very pleased.

Patio door to the deck has a one foot drop to the deck flooring, takes you by surprise. Otherwise, it wasn’t a bad little cabin.

David and his team provided impeccable customer service and east coast hospitality. We really enjoyed our one night stay in the lower, new and modern units. They are very tastefully decorated and comfortable, with beautiful views of the bay and the Keltic Lodge in the distance. Note: if you are in the lower units, you’ll just have a bbq, microwave and small fridge, with just the basic plates and cutlery, so make sure you bring whatever else you need, including BBQ tools.I would definitely stay here again!
