Chalet vacation rentals in Cape Breton Island

Well furnished secluded peaceful cottage within walking distance of the gypsum quarry lake. Very nice hosts who meet you in their vehicle to guide you to the property (which is slightly tricky to find.) If you’re not a fan of rustic, bumpy gravel roads, this might not be a perfect match for you.

Staff at Cabot Shores, and especially Paul were efficiently and immediately responsive to our needs. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated getting to chat with Paul and learning about the development of this unique facility. We appreciated Paul’s commitment to protecting the environment through recycling, solar use and by growing vegetables and raising egg laying hens. Perhaps renters with pets should be given a heads up that the cabins have ant traps. The outside air was pleasant so keeping the windows open was great, but screens on all the windows would be helpful in keeping the mosquitoes out.

Cabot shores was an amazing family trip. The beach and the views are incredible. The live music was so much fun. Would recommend to anyone

Get some real R&R at this hidden gem, Port Hood Island’s only AirBnB. Arrive by boat which was a great adventure to kick off the trip. Hop around the trails and beaches in the golf cart which also handles luggage and supplies. The house is well-stocked with a thousand pieces of decor to remind you of the island’s fishing history. The charm of a well-built, well-loved Cape Breton home with some original doors, cabinets along with some modern upgrades. Dishes, housewares, appliances and furniture were more than enough for a small crowd. Lots of sofas to gather round, one table for games, another for dining and a third patio table on the deck with the most peaceful view. The only screen you’ll need is sunscreen (but Starlink is onsite for rainy days). The beds and linens were comfy, the bedrooms were spacious. New windows and an open concept made the space bright with spectacular views from all sides. You’ll never find a better host. Agnes was caring, helpful and felt like family.

Mark’s house is perfect for a family holiday in Cape Breton Island. It’s location is midway between two areas that you may wish to visit, Cape Breton National Park and Sydney/Louisbourg. The house is situated next to a lake so there is a beautiful view from the living room and deck. The house is extremely comfortable with loads of space. We greatly appreciated having air-conditioning during the hot spell of weather that we had during our stay. Mark was very helpful, and provided loads of excellent information about things to do in the area. I highly recommend this lovely home.

Great location near Cape Breton. Very cozy and clean chalet. Perfect for a family getaway and the staff are very helpful with local tips and recommended hikes.

We absolutely loved our stay at Cedar Peak. The views were stunning — perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The space was super cozy and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated that it was pet-friendly — it was so nice to have our pup with us for the trip! We even had our elopement on the property, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect setting. Such a special place — we’d come back in a heartbeat!

What a beautiful place! We loved the cottage and its location was wonderful for our exploration of this part of Cape Breton. It was only about 40 minutes to Baddeck and 1:45 to Fortress Louisbourg. It was well equipped and spacious - perfect for the four of us. The loft was great for my 18 year old nephew who was up later than the rest and the other two bedrooms are at opposite sides of cottage - great for sleeping! Unfortunately, it was grey and rainy for most of our stay so we did not get to enjoy the patio much at all. It must be wonderful in the sunny weather, though! The screened in area was great (we did get an hour without rain one evening). There was lots of room for us inside to hang out during the rainy days and the big windows with the view of the lake made being inside not so bad! The property feels very private. Even though there is a trailer park nearby, we were completely unaware of it when at the cottage. Not much close by but be sure to eat at Charlene’s!

This is an absolute gem. We watched the sun set over the water every night. Our toddler was safe and entertained in the big yard and beach. We want to return next year!

Our stay at the Eagle House in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, was truly memorable. The property offers stunning lake views, and the serene surroundings made for a perfect getaway. We were captivated by the beauty of the location and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and reconnect with nature.

Es war einfach fantastisch! Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und haben wirklich nichts vermisst. Wie wurden herzlich begrüßt und es blieben keine Fragen offen. Ich kann die Unterkunft nur jedem empfehlen und würde Sie direkt wieder buchen!

We stayed here for a mini family reunion and found the home to be a fantastic place that accommodated 3 small families plus grandparents. Our kids had a fantastic disco party in the games/bar area complete with disco ball and lights. The kitchen had everything we needed; the living room was relaxing; the bathrooms had great water pressure and the kiddos loved the giant bathtub. The view was unbeatable, we would recommend this place to anyone.

What a wonderful place, felt like a home while being clean and accessible. Beautiful waterfront location, with a welcoming and responsive host. Would easily book again, regretting that I didn't stay longer.

Cozy and clean! Wifi isn’t great, neither is service but it was great to disconnect and enjoy the beautiful area! Definitely will stay again next time we hit the cabot trail!
