Cape Breton trip
Property had everything we needed for our 4 day trip. When we walked into the entrance we where hit with an awful smell! Thankfully the entrance was separated by another door into the house. We think it was mold or musty coming from the basement. Good size kitchen and living room. Beds where not the greatest. The location for us was good for our adventures.

Perfect for Cabot trail and area
The location was perfect for the activities we had planned being close to Cabot Trail and Fort Louisbourge. We were comfy in the cottage and were provided with all that we needed. Any questions we had were answered very quickly. One thing we wished was that there was a beach or water within walking distance but it was a short drive away. Lovely

Perfect Getaway
Kim’s property on Kelly’s Mountain was the perfect retreat for us and our dogs.. The cottage has all on the amenities a traveller could need and the location was perfect for visiting the Cabot Trail and also heading east to Sydney, Glace Bay & the Fortress at Louisburg. Kim was a great host and very quick to respond to all questions. Do not hesitate to stay here and be sure to attend the Ceilidh at the Gaelic College.

Secluded stay near Bras D’Or lakes
Ideal property for those seeking a quiet, large, and dog friendly property, a short drive to St. Anns, and Baddeck. The home is well appointed with tv, wifi, excellent kitchen, and comfortable beds. One room is bunk beds, not ideal for two couples, but certainly doable, as we did. Also is near a swimmable beach along the same dirt road the house is on. Would recommend.

Winter wonderland!
We had an absolute ball at this property, and can’t wait to go back. We were there in a snowstorm, but had so many things to do out in the woods and on the property that we didn’t even need to leave. Highlight was skiing on the driveway while waiting for the plow! Our little puppy had a great time too. Wonderful experience, and we can’t wait to get back.

My partner and I spent a few days there with our dog in October. The big property is well away from any neighbours and is great if you have a canine companion. The beach is a short drive down the end of the road and it is reasonably close to North Sydney in one direction and Baddeck in the other. We didn't see our host due to covid but she was very attentive to our needs and was easy to get a hold of.

We had an incredible stay, in a beautiful cottage. The views, especially in the morning, were breathtaking. You could spend the entire day on the back deck just admiring Bras d'Or Lake. The property was turn key and exceptionally well equipped; we wanted for nothing. There was even a large, fenced area to exercise our dog. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit; our only regret was we hadn't planned to stay longer. The Munro's Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

We spent four nights at the cottage on Kelly’s Mountain. The property provided 2 bedrooms and an open concept kitchen living room. We enjoyed the view from the deck and spent four evenings sitting out in the screen house where we saw deer and rabbits. The cottage is spotlessly clean and so very well equipped. The wifi was crisp and the satellite tv worked well. There is a large outdoor pen to accommodate your dog, something that is extremely difficult to find. I recommend the property and hope to stay there again soon.

A perfect home base to explore eastern Cape Breton
With its close location to the 105 this was a good place to start our exploration of eastern Cape Breton. The house is very well appointed with everything you need after a long day on the trails. We had an unusual couple days of warm weather so having A/C was a plus. Kim, the property owner, was a joy to work with.

We were very pleased with this cottage rental. It was as advertised on Homeaway, and had everything we needed. It was very clean and well stocked. The location was amazing and allowed us to visit relatives in Glace Bay and to tour part of the Cabot Trail. We loved walking around the property and enjoyed watching the eagles sitting in the trees and soaring overhead. Being able to have a campfire our first night there was amazing as well, as we love the outdoors. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for everything Kim.

Wouldn't stay anywhere else!
I can't say enough about Kim and her vacation rental. After our accommodations fell through at the last minute, Kim was ready for our arrival in just 2hrs. Our home away from home was cozy and comfortable with a wonderful view of the water. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything that we needed. We enjoyed exploring the property and loved the little creek that runs through it. As we were spending Christmas there, Kim even brought us a tree for the kids to decorate. We loved the location of the property which was very central to where we needed to go. We highly recommend staying here and I know we will be booking this home again the next time we are in the area.

Perfectly located Cape Breton getaway!
Can not say enough about Kim and her house! If you are looking to explore cape Breton and have a dog this cottage is a must! Full kitchen, two bedroom house with a good size living room and dining area. The yard with a view of the lake was spectacular along with the fenced in dog run was a great perk. We spent our nights by the fire pit star gazing and actually spotting a shooting star! This house is centrally located on cape Breton and was perfect to daytrip out of. Cheticamp for the slyline trail was an hour and 20 mins away, louisbourg fortress an hour, baddeck was 30 mins as well as Sydney 35 mins away. Kim was amazing and even quickly replaced our TV after a power outage damaged the existing one. Great stay, and highly reccomend if you have a dog!

Perfect place to stay for couples young and old. Families with kids (any age)
THANK YOU, Kim! Our stay was superb. This is the perfect place to stay for couples(ideal for honeymoon), young and old. Families with kids (any age), and dogs. The cottage is ideally located between the park and town, right off the road (easy access) but private enough, so you do not see or hear the road. Beautiful view of the river and mountains with the little picturesque private pond it is truly place from the fairytale. The cottage has a homey feel, not a typical rental.Kim thought about everything! I’m not even sure where to start. Kitchen is equipped for the people of all tastes, skills and wishes (it even has a drinking water tank). You can enjoy your meal or coffee indoors or out on the porch with the wonderful view. Bedrooms, bathroom and the whole place are clean and have everything. You feel really taken care of the minute you step in the home. Even your dog will be happy enjoying the special fenced enclosure outside, large enough for a big dogs to feel like a royalty. Kim is an example of the ideal host. Thank you again for sharing your place with us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+
