Rented A Chalet in Early October and Was Very Pleased When we Drove in. THE Chalets were Cute Log Cabins with Small Porches. Once Inside not as Pleasing, Very Clean (WHICH IS A PLUS) but Rather Stark, Should Have Carried the Log Theme Inside. They are Advertized as fully Equipped Kitchens, But are not! No seasoning, Dish Soap, towelling, or... More

Cozy cabins with a great view of the Cabot Trail and water. Well-appointed accommodations with a grill, stove, dishwasher and fridge. They even offer a wide selection of DVDs you can borrow for the evening. We left on a rainy day, I really just wanted to stay and curl up with a good book. Only one suggestion, we recommend they...

We chose Pilot Whale Chalets from its roadside appearance and the brief review we could find. As there was just the two of us for one night, we chose a studio room which was the loser floor of a two unit building. While being nothing fancy, the unit was well equipped and very clean with a very comfortable bed, good... More

Almost a year in advance, we reserved the Pilot Whale for a week in high season. We were impressed by the reviews here and particularly in the descriptions of the kitchens, which were indeed excellent. We were looking forward to making some really good dinners, because in this part of the province you can get some of Canada’s best seafood--great... More

Cabin was clean, spacious. We had an apartment under a chalet. It was bright and roomy and noise was not a problem. Great location for visiting Cabot Trail. Just outside Cheticamp so we could run in for groceries, a drink on a patio, restaurants. Quirky art gallery/shop and coffee bar within walking distance. Skipped stones on the private beach and...

It's only 2 min. to the Visitors Center for the Park, the town Visitors Center (with free internet), and a good french bakery, nice view of the mountains but not the water. We had the main level with 2 bds., very comfortable beds and nice shower and bath. It's time for the towels to be replaced, and please add utensils... More

The chalets are modern and clean, but basic.The staff were all very warm and helpful. Everything you need is supplied...but nothing fancy. The furniture is OK - everything was in reasonable condition, but not overly comfortable and definitely not "stylish". They advertise having internet, but they only have wired internet with a single outlet in each chalet, so it doesn't... More

Large bathroom, kitchen with everything but a stove, but there was a microwave and a bbq, a double bed and a pull... More
