A hidden gem
It turned out to be a gem - lovely room, well appointed with a balcony looking over the bay. And the restaurant was also solid

Relaxing Stay
The cottage was well maintained, portable air conditionning was sufficient to keep us cool. Directly on the Cabot Trail, close to Ingonish beach and Smokey MOntain gondola. Our unit had partial view on the bay, but enough to enjoy beautiful sunsets.

The property is very old and needed updates and freshening up. Screen door to patio needed replacing along with one patio chair. The view was nice, restaurant next door good. I would not book this cottage on another trip to area.

The cabin was beautiful and clean with a fantastic view from the balcony. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing a list of places we could go for food nearby as it was still early in the season and their attached restaurant was still closed.

"wood" you stay here?
Although the room was clean and comfortable it was very dated The property was poorly kept with decking that needed a lot of attention. Beautiful views were obstructed by overgrowth. This hotel is below par for the area and the price.

Cute Cabin with a Fantastic View
Staff were friendly, allowed an early check in. We would have liked to have eaten at the restaurant, it looked great but limited optikns with my wife's food allergies. Highlight was sitting on our private deck in the evening reading and watching boats come in and out of harbour
