We travelled with our daughter and grandchildren, there was lots of room we all enjoyed our stay. Problem with this review? Review posted to wrong locationOn this 36 acre wooded property we offer you a cozy and comfortable cottage right at the beach of the Bras d’Or Lakes. Your private driveway, your own lawn and your own water frontage is a guarantee for lots of privacy. The wooden cottage was finished 1999 and ecological aspects had a strong influence on how to build and where to build it. An outstanding panoramic view over the crystal clear water of the Bras d’Or Lakes toward the mountains on the opposite shore, the location at a sheltered cove at the Southside of the Bay of Whycocomagh and the rich wildlife in the water and on-shore of this wooded property, were the main reasons to place the cottage right here
The cathedral ceiling and the loft give you a generous feeling of height and space inside the cottage. Lots of pine wood not only provides a lovely smell, it gives your eyes a pleasant contrast to the white coloured areas. Cottage seen from the water of the Bras d'Or Lake aerial view of a part of this 36 acre property This is the Southside with the roofed deck The overall dimensions of the cottage are around 26 Ft by 22 Ft (8.00 m x 6.80 m) on the ground level and 10 Ft by 12 Ft (3.10 m x 3.60 m) for the loft. Via the hallway you access the large combined living area. Here you can relax on a comfortable pull-out sofa. Just in case, this pull-out couch would sleep 2 people. We are a non-smoking facility and outside footwear is not allowed inside the cottage. Would you mind not to forget slippers for inside the cottage, please? Thank you very much. The cathedral ceiling provides a generous feeling of height and space inside. This pull-out couch would sleep 2 additional adult people.
Your beach is just a few foot steps over your own lawn away. On the ground floor is the main bed room with a European style Queen size bed of 5’3” by 6’10” (1.60 m x 2.09 m). living, eating and cooking, for two people (max. 4) in this well-equipment kitchen the main bed room with a European style Queen-size bed on the ground floor living area with wood stove, pull out sofa, 4 chairs and dinner-table This is the kitchen area with stove, fridge, and everything else you might need to survive. We are not allowed to offer this Loft anymore! Enjoy this breathtaking view out of this window over the water towards the mountains on the opposite shore! The cottage is very well insulated and therefore nice and cool during the hot summer weeks and cozy and warm during the winter. Even though black flies and mosquitoes are not an issue because of the salty breeze from the Bras d’Or Lakes – it is the largest saltwater lake on earth - all windows are screened.
There is one bath room in the cottage, with sink, shower and toilet. Although the rates for the cottage rental do not include a breakfast, you are welcome to make special arrangements with us.
