THE INN
The Glengarry was built in 1880 and has been a place for people to stay and gather ever since — a lodge, a general store, a community meeting place. The original 19th-century general store on the ground floor is still largely intact and now serves as a small on-site museum, which we love showing guests around. It's the kind of thing you don't expect to find on a rental listing — and guests never forget it.
THE LOCATION
You're in Dingwall, a small fishing village on the north shore of Cape Breton. North Harbour Beach on Aspy Bay is a short walk down our driveway — you'll hear it before you see it on a good day.
