There was very little view from the deck. Also, there is an open concept plan, so no door on the washroom. Or walls!. Just a curtain.

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.

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.

"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.
