About this property

Beautiful location for one or more families to relax. 4 BR 2 Bath Pet Friendly

Please note the cancellation policy at the bottom of this description. (It's less rigid than what the site says because the site provides few choices for owners to select. - In summary: 120-day cancellation notice.

On an adjacent lot of land to the Beach House (VRBO #507807) is a 4-bedroom walkout property on 5 acres of land. This is a great home for a large family, two separate families, or a family with parents. There are two levels (Upper Level and Ground Level) joined by stairs or accessible via their separate entry. Each level provides 2 bedrooms (total 4) with each room having 2 beds. Both levels are essentially self-contained units with their own kitchen, living room, bathroom, washer dryer, BBQ, patio, and firepit. This allows the family to be together but added privacy should you need it.

This is truly a remarkable location and setting.

Please check the currency setting whether the rates are in CAD or USD since depending on how you enter the VRBO site, it may be set to one currency or the other.

More Detail:
The upper-level bedrooms: BR#1 has a king and single bed while BR#2 has a queen and single bed. The two lower-level Bedrooms each have a queen and single bed in each room. Both levels have a full bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and living room, washer and dryer, appliances (including dishwasher), and Smart TV (with Netflix, Prime, and other apps with accounts) Approximately 1000 square feet on each level. The upper level has a wrap-around deck with approximately 500 square feet of deck space including an approx. 160 square feet screened-in room is great for taking in the sun until sunset. It also comes with a fine gravel patio that you can enjoy. The ground-level unit has beautiful views from within or outside as you can enjoy them in your seating area under the coverage of the upper-level deck or its fine gravel patio. This is a unique property.

Each level has spectacular views of the Bras d'Or Lakes, morning and night. Access to two beautiful beaches on the pristine Bras d'Or Lakes. Use this location as your central spot for traveling around Cape Breton for whatever your interests are Sightseeing; golf; swimming, music festivals, and entertainment.

Minutes drive to the Highland Village Museum and Iona Heights Inn with dining if you don't want to cook. Within driving range to several excellent world-class golf courses Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs (Inverness), Highland Links (Ingonish), Bell Bay (Baddeck), and The Lakes (Ben Eon))

Take day trips to Sydney/Louisburg, Baddeck, Ingonish Highlands National Park, Cabot Trail, Whycogomagh, and Iona or just enjoy the privacy and tranquility of this amazing spot.

Fantastic accomodations for a larger group
We had a great time at the Lobster House! There was enough room for 3 generations of our extended family and the kids even had their own place they could retreat to. The sunroom was a terrific place to sit in and read, especially during a rainy day. The view across the lake, in any weather, is unbeatable! Kevin is a fantastic host, very responsive! And the information he provided in advance of check-in was so very helpful. Pantry supplies (foil, parchment paper, plastic wrap, coffee filters, salt/pepper, etc) and plentiful towels were much appreciated! Thank you for your hospitality!!!

Beautiful!
We had 7 adults, a 2 year old and 2 infants in our group and stayed for a week. We rented the full house both upstairs and downstairs and had plenty of room for everyone without feeling crowded. The property is exactly as described, clean and modern with everything we needed. The views of Bras d’Or were breathtaking. There is a small beach within a 5 minute walk and another a short drive up the road. Beautiful night skies and we had an excellent view of the super moon! There was recent wet weather so mosquito repellent was a must for outdoors especially in the evening but that is to be expected at a rural property. Kevin is wonderful to deal with and was so fast to respond the few times we needed to contact him. Cannot say enough about how responsive and helpful he was. We would all highly recommend and hope to return to this beautiful property.

Great stay!
We rented both top and bottom places. Lots of room for our family. Kevin was attentive to any issues we encountered. Kitchen had everything we needed- knives could use a sharpening, laundry was a bonus, location is beautiful. Alot of driving throughout Cape Breton if you plan to explore the sights, however the cottage is very comfortable for relaxing and staying put. The view of Bras dor lake is exceptional!

Lobster House-A Slice of Heaven
We were 3 families with a total of 10 people which included 4 kids 2-8 years old. We had the upper and lower units which both were well equipped. The kids had a great time flying kites and going down the tracks to the beach. The water was clear and not cold. We made trips to the Cabot Trail, Baddeck, Bird Island and the Hyland Village in Iona. Kevin was a great host and available if we needed anything. Same last name but not a relative…that we know of. Highly recommend! We made lifetime memories.❤️❤️❤️
