There are some places you stay that you forget as soon as you leave and others you will remember for a long time. This falls into the latter. It's as described rustic and a life photo. There is a mix of decorations that to me were cool and interesting. WiFi was good, small galleon kitchen, didn't use but looked sufficient. The real winner here is being able to sit right on a river deck, ducks and geese everywhere, frogs playing the banjos, beavers swimming by (never seen a beaver in my life before) and woodpeckers constantly stopping at the feeder. Winston and Susan very helpful. This was a bargain price as well, should have stayed longer, we stayed as a base for Louisburg as very close Hope to return soon

Great time.

We enjoyed our stay. If you love antiques this is the place for you. Found the bed a little small as it was just a double. The hosts were friendly and made sure our stay was comfortable.

Rustic nook on a brook/pond

It is a rustic cottage. Everything we needed was on site and the owner very friendly and helpful gave us advice on where to eat. There a nice covered deck and we enjoyed watching the birds eat at the feeder. Also, it's very convenient to the beautiful Highlands of Cape Breton.

Sweet, Charming Spot in Gorgeous Location

Lovely hosts on a lovely property. Cozy and comfortable for two, and if you share a bed it's also easy and convenient (there's a pull-out couch). Hope to return in finer weather, and for a bit longer, to enjoy the deck sometime!

Like staying in a flee market stall! 😁

Everything was good but the unit was very cluttered. Almost every flat surface was covered with bric-a-brac. Wifi was not working when we were there so had to have our mobiles on roaming
