About this cottage rental
If you are looking for something off the beaten path, you have found it! At the northern-most tip of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, this cottage is located at St. Margaret's village, in Bay St. Lawrence. From the wraparound deck you have a panoramic, undeveloped view as the sun sets into the ocean.
Not far off the Cabot Trail, the cottage is a good base for whale watching, deep sea fishing from the nearby wharf, and golfing at Highland Links in Ingonish (one of the top-rated courses in the world). Cape Breton Highlands National Park is just 10 miles away, where countless hiking trails await. If you're lucky, you may spot a moose or a bear!
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.
Come and experience the serenity of Cape Breton!
“I have travelled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.”
— Alexander Graham Bell

What a location!!! This spot is a bit of a dream, it’s where you could write a book… or read a book(s), as our family did. It is a basic little cabin, offering what you need to escape from the world for a short time. The beds were very comfortable, perfect for all of us (4 adults). Make sure to bring any specialty items - food options at the tip of Cape Breton are limited (there is a small store with basics). We bought lobster in the harbour and had a fabulous dinner in the cabin. We also loved Bay St Lawrence as a base - we visited Dingwall, Meat Cove and did the Skyline Trail from there. Great memories were made all round!!One note - the booking is in US dollars, even though the location of the property is in Canada (we assume this is because the owner is American). This can mean that the cost is a little more than advertised, depending on your credit card fees and exchange rates.

What a wonderful spot to unwind, relax and explore. The cottage was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The tempest winds up on the hill were quite intense and strangely comforting at the same time! Horizontal rain and chilly air gave way to a beautiful next morning with the sun shining in on the bedroom and pure clean ocean air to breathe in. Needless to say, our trip was more than I expected and was so very special in so many ways. Maegan was very easy to get hold of and made sure we were checked in and comfy. My dog loved the huge yard to run and explore, and I am sure the chipmunks and rabbits were happy to have him leave! Thank you again for sharing your family cottage and history!

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!!!
