Private Waterfront Bras d’Or Lake, Cape Breton

Our Tigh Beag (little house in Gaelic) invites you to relax and unwind. Enjoy reconnecting with nature and with yourself at our secluded three acre, four season, waterfront home on the Bras d’Or lake (the largest inland salt water lake in the world).

Nestled amongst mature trees, our three bedroom house is a short drive to world class golf and within a day’s drive to many of the best seasonal attractions Cape Breton has to offer.

Guests enjoy year round accessibility and access to the entire house including wifi, a fully equipped kitchen, gas BBQ, washer and dryer, usual bathroom amenities as well as an large screen T.V, a large assortment of DVD movies, video games, books, indoor and outdoor games and an electric fireplace. Our beach is private and secluded. We are 30 minutes from grocery/gas so be sure to stop in Port Hawkesbury or St.Peters for supplies on your way.

The house is small and best suited for couples or small families. Non-shedding dogs will be considered on a case by case basis. We are located in St. George’s Channel, half way between St. Peter’s and Port Hawkesbury. We are 5 miles from the Dundee Golf Course and less than10 miles from a Provincial Park boat launch. Fishing Booking names the Bras d’Or lake as a golden ticket to both freshwater and saltwater fishing adventures. As well, we are within a day’s round trip drive to The Fortress Louisbourg, Miners Museum, Highland Village, Cabot Links Golf, Alexander Graham Bell Museum, Gaelic College, Glenora Distillery, local vineyards, and many other attractions. The Cabot Trail is also accessible and can be driven round trip within a day if you get an early start.

Celtic Colours is one of many music festivals that takes place on the island, and we are perfectly situated for easy access to the many venues.

There is a lot to see and do in Cape Breton. We are a great stopping point as well for folks heading on to Newfoundland via North Sydney if they chose the scenic route 4.

Perfect little quiet home.
We chose this location by proximity to the lake. It was clean and well appointed and did not disappoint (other than we didn’t catch any fish). Home was well stocked with necessity item including cookware which was important for us as we cooked our own meals. It also had dishwasher and detergent along with washer and dryer and laundry soap. It was a quiet peaceful location and I would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful!
What a wonderful week! The cottage is so cozy with all the conveniences one could want. A beautiful location and magical path to the lake. Such peace and tranquility. My only regret is I didn’t get to stay longer! I’ll be booking again for next year and won’t make the same mistake :)

Beautiful spot.
This is a lovely cottage fully equipped with everything you need. The path down to the water is magical and the scenery is breathtaking.The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is because we had a difficult time finding food when we arrived. The nearest market is 25 minutes away. If you come prepared with provisions you are all set for a wonderful time.
