After a short chat and a walk around the cottage to show us how everything worked, Uli left us to go to bed after a days long drive to get to Cape Breton. The next morning, Uli delivered more firewood that lasted the duration of our stay. The cottage had everything that we needed. Beautiful morning sunrises. ##### Mark M.

This was our first trip east and Uli had great tips for exploring and directions. Hurricane Lee put a damper on the hike to the waterfall but Uli was wonderful and took us on a hike along the waters edge that was simply amazing. Could not have asked for anything more!

Das Haus war für uns soviel mehr als eine Unterkunft. Schon am Tag der Ankunft wurde uns die Geschichte des Hauses erzählt und gleichzeitig das Haus zum Wohlfühlen und vollständigen Nutzung übergeben, egal ob Kamin, Aussenbereich oder das alte Grammophon. Maggies ist ein Haus mit Seele, es ist alt, es macht leise Geräusche und alles ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Es ist ein Haus, mit all den zum Alter dazugehörigen Eigenschaften, perfekt zum Entschleunigen und genießen, und es passt für uns genau in die herrlichen Landschaft des Cape Bretons. Uli als Gastgeber war immer eine Hilfe und hat uns mit seinen Tipps geholfen die Tage bestens zu nutzen. Vielen herzlichen Dank für alles! Keiner von uns wird diese Zeit vergessen. ##### Gunnar H.

The host was gracious, and has preserved the historical integrity of the cottage. It had been his family's summer home. We went to a local dock and picked up lobsters from his niece, a lobster trapper. We warmed ourselves by the woodstove in the kitchen and listened to the Victrola! No hotel will ever be able to match the experience we enjoyed at this little home, nestled in the white birches on the Cabot Trail. ##### Suzanne U.

Oct 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Maggie's Place post hurricane Fiona Beautiful cottage in woods directly on Cabot Trail. Lovely antique filled 2 story residence with everything necessary for a relaxing stay. My one problem was that the description did not mention that the only heat comes from a wood burning kitchen stove. We stayed in the week directly after Fiona struck the Maritimes and were on PEI during the actual event, so Nova Scotia seemed much better to us, but the temperstures plummeted as we drove north in Nova Scotia and we were very cold the last 2 days. Ulli is a wonderful host and very congenial, caring and helpful. He had a great fire going when we arrived in the evening and it is not his fault that we could not get the large pieces of wood to burn. It was damp and would burn for a short while then go out. There were plenty of blankets and quilts but it was cold in the bedrooms and the bathrooms were icy. He provided electric heaters and if we had stayed longer than the 4 days, we would have used them. I spent a ton of time trying to get the fire to go at night and during the night to no avail, except once. My only negative is that I would have like to have known about the stove in advance. I would have been more prepared. AS it was, I used every piece of kindling, paper bags, carboard and most of my magazines to try to start the fire and get the logs to actually burn more than 10 minutes! That part was not fun but my daughter is autistic and cold, so I persevered. We ll had a very good time in a very unique place and beautiful place, so that is the important part. It was clean, well stocked with dishes and linens and full of history with a fabulous bookshelf. The trails were pretty covered from the hurricane that had just swept through but nothing compared to the destruction on PEI, so we thought it was great. The Cabot trail was clear and despite the National Park site saying everything was closed, we found the visitor center open and many trails were passable, plus we could hike directly up the highway 50 feet from our door to some beautiful sites. I would love to go back when it is not 3o degrees F and really explore the area more closely. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone interested in getting off the tourist carousel and really enjoying nature and sublime beauty. ##### Brian A.

My plans took an unexpected turn....we had a sudden death in the family of a beautiful 20 year old niece....so I immediately headed home to the States. I contacted my wonderful hosts who couldn't have been more understanding. So I didn't make it to Skir Dhu...and I didn't see the property....but I can tell you that my communications with my hosts started immediately after my booking....they welcomed me prior to arrival....and offered to help me get familiar with the area...and when I told them I had to head home unexpectedly, they were most gracious and kind....and isn't that what really counts? Kindness....and these two are ten stars....A most sincere thank you to you both from me and my family... ##### Brenda R. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maura M.

Nous avons même eu la chance de savourer les meilleurs homards de la région grâce aux bons conseils de Uli. Les quatre journées passées à Maggie’s place ont passé très rapidement. Notre voyage en Nouvelle Ecosse n’aurait pas été complet sans arrêter dans un endroit si accueillant et reposant pour toute la famille! ##### Rachel T.

The countryside is surrounded in beauty and the hospitality shown to us made us feel peaceful and welcome. Uli and his wife made a delicious apple pie made with the local apples from the area. Such a surprise and so delicious. We fell in love with all that this place had to offer and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for such a wonderful visit! This was not just a place to stay, it was an experience! ##### Wendy J. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan T. Oct 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### True Cape Breton Hospitality Our hosts were amazing and responsive from the initial contact, throughout our stay, to our reluctant leaving. Maggie's Place exceeded our expectations in every way. A cozy century farmhouse with a rich local history, Maggie's has been lovingly restored. It retains all its charm while also offering modern conveniences. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing full meals. Our hosts offered many very helpful suggestions to enhance our exploration of the Island. We spent a very comfortable week and look forward to returning. You couldn't ask for better. ##### Susan T. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Antigonish](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Antigonish.h64402536.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Orchard Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels-Old-Orchard-Inn-Spa.h903228.Hotel-Information) > > [Digby Pines Golf Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Royal-Hotels-Digby-Pines-Golf-Resort-Spa.h890065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Halifax - Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-Halifax-Dartmouth.h2432733.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Bridgewater Hotel & Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Bridgewater-Hotel-Convention-Centre.h3812334.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverary Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Baddeck-Hotels-Inverary-Resort.h3845323.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Halifax-Airport.h1942038.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Halifax-Airport.h1379443.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Sydney.h13904.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Sydney - Waterfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Sydney-Waterfront.h27986.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Halifax-Dartmouth.h27486693.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Glengarry Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Best-Western-Glengarry-Hotel.h6213.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Windsor NS](https://www.expedia.ca/Wolfville-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Windsor-NS.h1710981.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Dartmouth Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Dartmouth-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Dartmouth-Hotel.h92611337.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Hotel Bayer's Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Comfort-Hotel-Bayers-Lake.h4258037.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn on Prince Hotel & Conference Centre Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Inn-On-Prince-Hotel-Conference-Centre-Truro.h428538.Hotel-Information) > > [Tru By Hilton Yarmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Yarmouth-Hotels-Tru-By-Hilton-Yarmouth.h58323252.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [Oak Island Resort & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Oak-Island-Resort-Conference-Centre.h1215229.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Chocolate-Lake-Hotel.h11505.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax - Dartmouth by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-And-Suites-Halifax-Dartmouth.h34504431.Hotel-Information) > > [Halifax Tower Hotel & Conference Centre, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Halifax-Tower-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h76690078.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Halifax Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Halifax-Dartmouth.h27486696.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Dartmouth Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Dartmouth-Hotel-Suites.h2256605.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Dartmouth.h15692.Hotel-Information) > > [Keltic Lodge At The Highlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Ingonish-Beach-Hotels-Keltic-Lodge-At-The-Highlands.h90103667.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Membertou-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sydney-Nova-Scotia.h4905064.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Stellarton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Stellarton.h2066604.Hotel-Information) > > [The Simon Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Cambridge-Suites-Hotel-Sydney.h8311.Hotel-Information) > > [HFX Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Goffs-Hotels-HFX-Airport-Hotel.h528264.Hotel-Information)
