About this property

Behie House - charming home on the Strait of Canso

  • Welcome to Behie House! We are a hidden gem tucked along the coastline of Guysborough County. Come stay in our precious 3-bedroom home with a full kitchen and dining area for large groups, a bright and open living room, and a fully screened veranda on a rural property where kids and animals can play.

    Wake up in the gorgeous countryside and come downstairs to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the Strait of Canso and Cape Breton Island.

    A 25 minute drive to Guysborough and Cape Breton, Behie House serves as a great home base for exploring southern Cape Breton and the Eastern Shore. Explore our varied beaches to do some beachcombing, sightseeing, sunbathing, or swimming, and keep on the lookout for hiking trails - directions are provided on the fridge in the house (including some recommended, more hidden local areas!)

    We are open year round. In the fall and winter you can expect a warm, cozy retreat with heat pumps on all levels of the house. So if you're looking for a wonderful getaway in the colder months, or even just a home all your own while you're on a business trip, Behie House is the perfect fit.

Very clean and well kept home. The owner stopped by to make sure our stay was going OK and to see if we needed anything. Enjoyed spending time in Port Hawkesbury and sitting by the water at the nearby rocky shore. Owner has good directions on how to get to get to other nearby sandy beaches.

The house was adorable, very comfortable, really cozy and we felt like we were really staying in our own home. It overlooked the bay had great views. Well stock kitchen, comfortable beds, great lawn and really friendly for our dog Luna-- The location was easy to find and easy to get to local beaches and the town of guysboro to listen to music. Plus it was so quiet we could sit on the screen and porch or sit in the garden and just gaze and be very peaceful -- We were especially grateful to the host who handled a minor emergency quickly easily and they made it simple and not a bother at all
