The music, in such a cosy and intimate setting, was outstanding. The musician, Neal McDaniel, was very talented. All this was at no extra cost, although most guests left a gratuity.

We couldn't stay once we walked through the building to our room. It smelled absolutely awful. Worse than a barn or porta potty. I actually gagged. We left for a bit, totally distraught because we had nowhere else to go and had already been charged for the room. But we decided to go back and returned our key and left. There was no possible way we could have stomached a night there. Thankfully we had a friend in the area that found us a room with a family member. DO NOT STAY THERE. Grossest place ever

Great place and amazing courteous staff
This Inn/Cabin/Hotel is a great spot to stay if you're touring the Cape Breton Island. We were visiting the western area of the island (CB Highlands National Park nearest to Cheticamp) so this was a good and affordable place to stay while we were in this area. What we absolutely found amazing was the impeccable customer service of the staff. When we arrived, we were offered to stay in one of the cabin if we wanted to but chose instead to stay in a very quaint and comfortable room in the main lodge. Unfortunately, we soon found out that there was no hot water and it was already past midnight and the staff was away. Made one phone call and the owner was quick to come over, talk with us and fix the problem. There was a lot a hot water after his visit. Very interesting older gentleman to talk to. The room was extremely comfortable and we truly enjoyed our night. We will definitely be back to this place.

The place was clean, still kept it’s rustic look. Taking a seat outside at night and watching the sparkling stars was great. Waking up to Animals such as horses and Cows, was a beautiful experience. Coffee and bread were fresh and waiting in the front desk. Highly recommend.
