Cottage vacation rentals in Guysborough

Simona and Sorin's place is a real gem. The pictures don't do it justice. It's such a beautiful open space and was absolutely immaculately clean. The views were beautiful and the surroundings are so peaceful. The house is very well appointed with everything you would need and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here. The details in the house were very much appreciated, like really nice linens and a well stocked kitchen. The hot tub is also a bonus. We enjoyed sitting in there in the evening and soaking in all of the surroundings.

Kirk and Kelley were very welcoming and lovely. The cottage was easy to locate and had some stunning views of the mountains and the lake. Thank you for hosting us and would indeed return for another get away in the future.

Loved it! Hot tub nice and warm. A reprieve From the ‘ off grid’ part of my holiday. Clean, vintage, quaint. I ll be sending you my Sister and My friends! Paradisio!

This by far was the most perfect getaway for my husband and I. The one thing we could not stop talking about is how this place was equipped with everything you could think of and I truly appreciated that. From things like condiments readily available in the fridge to toothpaste to even an air fryer, things you would normally have to bring yourself. Outside of that Jennifer and her husband were the most kindest, lovely and fun hosts. We had an impromptu boat ride with them and what a special time it was. My husband and I often do getaways to disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other and this place really elevated our getaway.

Overall a great stay at a lovely cottage. Kristy was extremely responsive to questions during our stay. We had an early spring visit so the road in was a little messy, but that is no fault of the hosts/cottage. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

This place is fantastic for getting rid of stress. The service is great, it's super clean and quiet, and the view is amazing. If you want to escape the city, this is a perfect spot – a definite 10 out of 10. I'll definitely be going back!

We had a great stay! We went to the pub for live music and dinner which was lovely. Then we enjoyed the rest of the evening in the hot tub! In the morning we made breakfast and enjoyed the lovely view by the water. I highly recommend staying at Matthew’s !

Beautiful location provided with everything you need to enjoy the property and its perks.

We returned for a second visit and it was so great to be back! Views of the ocean/bay were magnificent. Cottage was cozy especially when wood stove was on. Relaxing time for sure! Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise!

The location was exactly as described and pictured. It even had a trampoline - which wasn't listed but was a surprise hit with the children. There was a lovely welcome package when we arrived with the satellite radio playing softly. We felt immediately at home. The location is stunning. We went kayaking, fishing, hiking, and enjoyed evening fires. The beach was gorgeous and the house was well equipped. The kitchen literally had everything you might need. We did have a question regarding the water quality and testing (notes stated it was spring fed and I wanted to be sure the water was potable as there was bottled water provided in the fridge) but did not receive a reply from the host when we enquired. Lots of towels, bedding was nice, and dogs were welcomed. For an active family with young children it was a wonderful place to spend a fall weekend.

This is our third stay. We love it here!

Lisa and Jared’s place is amazing. We felt right at home. The space was beautiful inside and out and had all the amenities needed for a cottage stay. It was also setup perfectly for our two dogs who had a great vacation too, thanks to all the little touches (dog bed and toys, fenced yard, lots of sticks to chew). The view was breathtaking and the beach was wonderful to walk - lots of treasures to find. The house was also welcoming to our six year old with puzzles, games, and plastic plates/cups. We would recommend this stay to anyone and hope to get back again someday!

This cottage is a true PEI gem! The location was private and beautiful - that view from the porch! - and cottage had everything we needed for a family vacation. Close to stunning beaches (Panmure Island was our fav) and the charming town of Montague. Being able to use the new sea kayaks to explore the river/harbour was an added bonus! Steve and Lori were excellent hosts - very communicative and welcoming, they made the cottage feel like home away from home. We'd highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

The feeling of coming into this cozy cottage on a rainy, cold October afternoon was amazing - Jody had a crackling fire going in the wood stove and it was as if we were coming home. The dogs loved the wooded trails around the large, private property and the highlight was the adorable bridge crossing a wide brook. The area was peaceful and quiet and we highly recommend it.

Barbara’s cottage is pristine, relaxing, and beautiful. It is private, cozy, the perfect retreat. Barbara goes above and beyond with special touches around the cabin. I recommend the cottage to anyone looking for some peaceful tranquility!

It’s a real Gem!!! Located a the month of Cabot trail with fantastic waterfront property!

This is a great place to stay. We were lucky to stay here for work last week and we’ve booked again for next week. We always stay in a nice place when we are away for work, but it’s rare you get a place that you can’t wait to go back to every night!!

Super laid back area, lots of room in the backyard if you were to travel with kids or pets! Super open concept and was super homey

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was pristinely clean and tidy. And the view!!! Absolutely breathtaking! Did not disappoint! We took advantage of the close walking distance to the Frolic & Folk pub down the road. They had trivia on Thursday nights (very popular) and live Celtic music on Saturday nights! The people, Food and drinks there were excellent! Our favourite part by far of this air B&B was sitting on the deck and watching the majestic family of eagles that nested nearby. 2 adults and 2 juveniles! Absolutely fascinating and better than TV! Janet even left frozen fish for us to throw to them off the deck! We ate breakfast, had coffee and bbd’d a wonderful steak dinner on the deck! We also ventured down the wooded trail and the abandoned railway tracks to our very own private beach for the afternoon! Stunning! I highly recommend this place! Would definitely visit again!

Super cozy place! Very responsive and helpful with recommendations and tips for things to do. Was everything I needed!

Our stay at this property was fantastic! The house was spotless, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location on the lake was absolutely stunning, and having kayaks available was a wonderful bonus. It made our trip to Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail even more enjoyable. Communication with the host was seamless, with clear instructions and a thorough description provided. We highly recommend this place and would love to stay again!

We booked with Theresa as overflow for my daughter’s wedding and my adult children were so happy for the calm space! Theresa was accommodating and very responsive! Great experience!

A lovely, modern home with a perfect lake view and access to the water! We really enjoyed the design of the home, with tons of windows (but don't stay here if the thought of things watching you from the woods freaks you out! But nothing is watching you...). The living/kitchen area is open and airy, with sliding patio doors that open toward the lake and a deck. Nice wood-burning fireplace. Very functional kitchen, easy to cook in. Well-separated bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms would make this great for a family (or just 2 people, as we were). Infloor heating is nice. Kayaks and other outdoor things available. No TV, but we were OK with that (and used our computer and the fast internet connection when we wanted to watch something). We had not been to Cape Breton before and liked this location - 10 minutes to Baddeck and about 1.5 hrs. to the south end of Cape Breton Highlands National Park (either west or east coast). Lots of hiking near-by, appreciated the host's ideas on that.

Definitely deserves the Super Host status. Would recommend to anyone.
