The North Shore, originally settled by Scots in the early 1800s, is now home to lots of moose, a crab and lobster fishery (May - July), as well as many fine artisans and crafters. From the deck of the Sleeping Moose Cottage you might see whales and seals, for sure ocean birds, and 'our' Bald Eagle who does a 'fly-by' a couple of times a day. Walk to our pebble beach and enjoy the beautiful view and sometimes-loud silence of the waves hitting the pebbles. There are lots of hiking and snowshoeing trails in and outside the National Park, and if you like golf... Highland Links is a beautiful 25-minute drive away. The Sleeping Moose is a housekeeping cottage with a full kitchen, but it is conveniently located on the same property as the Dancing Moose Cafe. It serves unusual breakfasts and lunches bilt around Dutch Pannekoeken (stuffed pancakes), Belgian waffles, a daily soup, and baked treats, all made from scratch in our own kitchen. We are an all-season accommodation. Start your day watching the sun rise over the ocean. Then, spend a lazy summer's eve on your private deck watching the stars come out. Light a cosy fire in your wood stove on chilly evenings, or in winter when snow has changed the landscape. On rainy days, enjoy a free movie or a bit of surfing with our free wireless Internet. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

There were 4 adults staying in this house and it never felt crowded. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone that is interested in exploring Cape Brenton National Park. Thank you Tom for everything! ##### Paula B.

Vermieter Ton ist super hilfsbereit und backt sehr leckere Pannekoeken. UNbedingt dem Café einen Besuch abstatten. Bei Vollmond hatten wir an dem Picknickplatz, der zur Hütte gehört, einen wunderschönen Blick aufs Meer. ##### Kerstin G.

The cottage was a fantastic blend of rustic and modern, well layed out and well stocked. We loved the ocean sunrise view both from the oversized sliding glass doors and from the picnic table at the ocean. An added touch was our chicken neighbours. Ton makes a great breakfast and is a friendly host. We highly recommend! ##### Denise and Don A.

You cannot beat the view of the ocean--we even saw a whale swimming by. The kitchen is fully equipped too, which is a bonus. ##### Jessica K.

Our host Ton was very nice and helpful. He also made amazing Pancakes and Waffels in his Café Dancing Moose. The cottage offered 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room with a chimney. The facilities provided were sufficient. We also Used the barbecue outside. From the beach We could Spot whales (But far from the beach). We would Come back! ##### Nina S.

Simple place but had all the conveniences we needed. Just walk to the ocean or breakfast/lunch at the restaurant. The chickens roamed around the property, were cute to watch! walked for miles by the ocean not a sandy beach rocks, rocks and more rocks but still nice. We had a campfire our last night and watched the stars. Just down right nice and peaceful. Definitely would go back. Beth ##### Beth M.

The rustic cottage was clean, well-cared-for, and well-supplied. We were impressed with its very efficient layout and how well-built it was. Everything was in excellent working order, and we enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The views at the nearby rocky shore were spectacular. We used this cottage as a base from which to explore the Cabot Trail by car and the Cape Breton Highlands National Park on foot. We went on a whale watch out of Bay St. Lawrence and saw whales, seals, an ocean sunfish and incredible geologic formations. We attended a ceilidh one evening in a nearby church and enjoyed an intimate acoustic concert of traditional Cape Breton folk music. We enjoyed our breakfast of Dutch "pannekoeken" at Ton and Yvonne's Dancing Moose Cafe so much that we returned another morning for more. Our host was friendly and helpful, and made sure we felt welcomed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and would heartily recommend it to others. ##### Philip A. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2016 ---
