About this cottage rental
If you are looking for something off the beaten path, you have found it! Out at the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, the cottage is located at St. Margaret's village, in Bay St. Lawrence. From the 8x28 foot front deck you have a panoramic, unobstructed, undeveloped view as the sun sets into the ocean. In season, you can enjoy the local lobster or snow crab caught in the bay in front of you.
Not far off the Cabot Trail, the cottage is a good base for golf at Highland Links in Ingonish (one of the top-rated courses in the world), whale watching or deep sea fishing from the nearby fisherman's wharf or the Hike the Highlands Festival. Cape Breton Highlands National Park is just 10 miles away where there are hiking trails and other activities in the summer. Our family spots at least one moose and one bear at this park every year! It is a thrill for the kids!
Right in the village is a friendly community center with internet access (as well as ping pong for the kids and a basketball hoop). There is a local grocery with all the basics. Right near the community center is an ice cream stand that is great for a quick dinner as well.
It is a birdwatchers paradise. Watch the eagles soar, the guillemots fly in and out of the cliffs below, or the gannets dive into the ocean from the cottage. You might even see the occasional pod of whales in the bay while you sit relaxing or reading on the deck.

This was a superb location. The views are spectacular. It is isolated, which is what we were looking for. It was nothing it locked. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who does not mind some isolation.

First and foremost Meagan was fantastic with all aspects of their wonderful wonderful house! Can’t say enough good things about her communication with me other than to say it was outstanding. I would recommend their house to anyone who is looking for an unbelievable view and coziness! We enjoyed every minute there! The privacy that comes with this home is unparalleled. It’s perfect for 2-4 adults and possibly with children. It has everything one needs to get the most out of their stay in this beautiful area!!!

The location was outstanding and the scenery was spectacular! Of all the rental places I have stayed over the last 15 years, the experience at Maegan’s cottage was one that provided memories that will last forever!Most certainly will seek to stay here, if I return to the area.

We have had the privilege of staying at this cottage several time over the years and there is a reason we keep coming back. If you long for peace in a pristinely clean little cottage that has long views looking out over the bay, perfect sunsets, blueberries and rabbits on the hill that your cottage is perched, fresh seafood, mountain hikes, a deck to read on - than this is your heaven! We have only ever had great experiences here and memories that sustain us year after year! This year we saw pilot whales and a RIGHT WHALE from the deck. We could actually HEAR the whales. I mean, come ON.
