The day we arrived the government put in place a hiking and trail use ban and we were concerned how we would spend our three days but there was more than enough to keep ua entertained and this property was the perfect place from which to exploer ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan F. Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We absolutely loved the house. It is beautiful, immaculate, compact and incredibly comfortable. The beds and couch were great, plenty of lighting for reading and knitting, and a wonderful kitchen. It is right on the harbor so there is some good people, bird and boat watching. The town has everything you want, we loved Cheticamp Island, dinner at Sahara and I loved the Hooked Rug Museum. We'll be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb9261a5-e1df-4ac8-a99c-66815e85aa84-1757964304501.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Susan F.
