The hosts, Claire and the team at Archie's Place, were lovely, welcoming, and provided great advice. The house is charming, clean, and contained everything we needed.

About this house rental

Step back into the serene simplicity of pastoral living while keeping modern comforts close at Archie’s Place. Built over a century ago and preserved in its charming rusticity, Cape Breton’s folksy history seems to radiate through our house much like the peaceful natural light that illuminates its pastel rooms and hardwood floors. Archie’s Place sits atop a sweeping hilltop farm in Broad Cove, just 5 minutes north of the village of Inverness and centrally located to beaches, hiking trials, world-class golfing, local artisans, Celtic music and more.

The pristine country air makes for excellent sleeping, and with beds for up to 6 people Archie’s Place offers just that! Of the four bedrooms, two contain double beds, another has a three-quarter size bed for a single person, and the fourth room contains a double bed plus a single bed. Comfortable window-side seating downstairs and rural quietness offer the perfect spot to unwind with a book or catch up with family and friends; while the large dining room and fully equipped kitchen are ideal for entertaining.

We had an enjoyable stay in a quirky old farmhouse with lots of family memorabilia. It had everything we needed to cook our own meals, a washer and the ubiquitous Nova Scotia clothesline outside.Our host,Claire, was easy to reach if we needed her.

Communication with Claire was good. It was a nice, rustic property and suited our purposes. Close to beaches and Inverness.

We had a great stay at Claire's place aka Archie the Tanner. A lovely little farm house accented with dated family pictures, tools and ornaments from the past. Sole complaint is the absence of wifi and poor cellular coverage. We rely on messaging so much now. Regardless, it's definitely a place we'll revisit. Thx Claire.

Our host, Claire, was lovely & easy to communicate with! The house was a bit rustic (a true Cape Breton home), but charming, extremely clean & contained everything we needed. Wi-fi is in limited supply on Cape Breton Island, so be prepared to disconnect & relax!
