ABOUT US: .Our property is situated in the village of Baddeck along the Baddeck Bay. We are a 2.3 mile walk/drive/bike/swim to the center of the village. Which allows one to partake of the village`s many amenities yet escape from it`s summer bustle. Our property offers a central location for all adventures Cape Breton Island has to offer within easy access by foot or car. We are located on the World Famous Cabot Trail. The cottage has a simple bright and airy feel at a easy budget. The full kitchen allows even the most budget minded to save hundreds in restaurant costs yet in a quaint ,quiet setting. Our property is a historic one, overlooking the estate of Alexander Graham Bell and the bay his historic flight took place on. Our property was owned by his assistant, companion (McCurdy) and one of the founders of the National Geographic Society (George Kennan). Other deeded owners were Samual Cunard of the steamship fame.The Myers of the Bell family ,they liked it here, I expect you will too

Nicely updated home with view of lake - Baddeck
Newly updated home with fresh feel. Lots of windows and light. Modern interior with comfortable beds. Hot tub on deck was a bonus. Walk down the driveway to lake, but not easy to access water for a swim. Need to clamber over rocks. Great location for exploring most of Cape Breton.

Great home base for week of exploring
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage! Everything was just as we'd pictured it from the listing. The cottage was spotlessly clean upon arrival, quiet and comfortable, appointed with everything we needed, and it felt very secluded and private. We had a great view of Baddeck Bay from the porch, and enjoyed watching the moonlight reflected off the bay from the hot tub every evening after a long day of exploring. This was a nice location - away from the busier parts of the Cabot Trail but with great access to the national park and other destinations like the Sydney/North Sydney area. We loved eating at Baddeck Lobster Suppers & the ceilidhs in town. John was a wonderful host and made it very easy for us to check in even though we arrived late in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay here!

House was clean and a great location. To relax in the hot tub after long hikes on the Cabot Trail was a nice bonus.
