“Not to be missed in Cape Breton - Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Wow. Simply excellent. I stayed in a two bedroom chalet with a group of friends for a reunion - we stayed here for one night. We did not have any trouble locating the chalets, they are situated more off the Cabot Trail, so its a wonderful hidden gem. The chalet's overlooks a lake - its peaceful and the only sound nearby is church bells! There is a wonderful deck to lounge and relax. For the cold winter nights or even on a slow evening, there is a main lodge to spend some time.

The chalet's are spacious, clean and fully equipped with cookware in case you feel like making breakfast in the morning. We toured the cabot trail first and then we stayed at this location. This is a great place to stay after a long hike or drive. I would recommend staying at this chalet after touring the Cabot Trail. This is my new go-to lodging when staying in Cape Breton. The chalet was the highlight of our reunion.

“Doesn't get better than this”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

My daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights and were very impressed with the cottages. Everything is top quality and immaculate. They provide you with every convenience. It was lovely to sit right at the waters edge and enjoy the scenery and peace and quiet. There is a small Co-op five minutes walk from the cottages where you can get groceries. It is best to think of cooking in as it is hard to find a good place to eat nearby( in my opinion). It took about 1/2 hour to get to Baddeck or to Mabou which has the Red Shoe Pub( also great). We drove around the Cabot Trail after leaving Keltic Quay and didn't see anything that looked better than this. Would highly recommend.

“Beautiful View!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

We rented a one bedroom cottage for our family on August 8. We are a family of four with two teens. The one bedroom cottages are on the second floor and the two bedrooms on the first floor. All one bedroom cottages have two queen beds in the bedroom and a pull out couch in the living room. The kitchen is completely equipped. The cottages themselves are all situated a few feet from the Bras D'or lake and have an incredible view of the lake. The cottages are very clean, and have plenty of space for a family with two children. Although we were not able to take advantage of all facilities because it rained during our stay, there are kayaks and paddle boats and a speed boat which can be rented. We took full advantage of the main lodge which has a pool table and other games.

Overall, it is a really fantastic place. Please note that it is not on the Cabot Trail, and is about a 20 minute drive from Baddeck. It is also quite close to the highway and the truck noise is sometimes a bit distracting....however the view from the decks make up for this!

“Great Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

What a great "base camp" for all things Cape Breton. This lodge and it's cottages are not on the Cabot Trail, but as it turned out, that worked out good for us, we were able to see other things that Cape Breton has to offer. The cottages have a great view of a bay of the lake and were just wonderful. The innkeeper, Renie is also great, offered lots of good recommendations and was a joy to talk with. Highly recommended! This little village has a great bake shop, Farmers Daughter and a wonderful diner, Charlenes. Enjoy Whycocomagh!
