Family-friendly holiday rentals in Chéticamp

we had a girls trip to Lisa's property and it was above and beyond our expectations ! breath taking views, tons of room in the house .

Thank you for your kindness and your welcome. Paradise place.

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

We had a wonderful stay! James is an excellent host - easy to communicate with and very helpful with anything we needed during our stay. His home is beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Just a short walk from the beach! Would definitely recommend.

John’s place is great! Close to Baddeck so easy to have a beautiful dinner in town. He recommended local music which we couldn’t make it to but were so happy to be in the know about. The place itself feels huge and super cozy all at once. The view from the hot tub is breathtaking. I’d stay at John’s again very happily.

We were thoroughly charmed by the accommodation, and all the truly unique touches to the spacious living space, kitchen area, bedroom — all of it. It’s a personalized, heart-warming, comfortable retreat, ideal for anyone wanting to spend a while writing, reading, or daydreaming. Take a project with you, or make up a new one while you’re there. No shortage of soulful, talented folk on the Cabot Trail - you’re sure to be inspired.

This is a great place to relax! Extremely quiet, spectacular view and plenty of space for a family of 4 to 6 to spread out and chill. The private beach is a nice added touch and Baddeck is only a 2 minute drive, but I wouldn’t walk there, cars drive a little fast down that road and there’s no sidewalk. Tyler was a great host, explained everything perfectly, right down to recommending water shoes for the private beach ( which we had). There’s also a nice listing of local places and lots of brochures so you can find stuff to do. It was ~25 degrees when we stayed and it gets nice and cool at night so not having A/C isn’t a problem. There are so many windows that open in so many directions, you’ll catch a breeze.

Cozy, comfortable and peaceful cottage. Views are amazing! Well equipped kitchen and great location with full amenities within a short drive. Lots of outdoor space for our dog to run and beautiful beach walks! This cottage is a gem...Hosts were responsive and friendly. A peaceful beach house experience with stunning views and the sound of waves lapping the shoreline, we would definitely book again!

We had the absolute best time staying in this glamping cabin! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was next level. The owners greeted us with a tour of the property by golf cart — Right from the start, we felt so welcomed and at ease. They truly went above and beyond, even helping us fire up the grill and cook our pizza, making sure everything was perfect for dinner. The conversation flowed easily — they’re not just kind, but genuinely funny and down-to-earth people you’d love to hang out with again. everything on the property was built with love by the owner himself — you can feel the care and dedication in every corner. His wife added the most thoughtful personal touches to the interiors that made the space feel cozy, intentional, and incredibly inviting. Every little detail was seen and deeply appreciated. The property is absolutely stunning — full of unique spots to unplug and reconnect. We cannot wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time in Cheticamp. John was helpful for suggestions about hiking and restaurants. I would highly recommend his beautiful place.

My partner, pup, and I enjoyed our one-night stay in one of Ton's cabins. Communication was excellent, we loved that Ton met us for check-in and showed us around, and we went for the add-on breakfast - lovely and filling pannekoeks - dutch crepes! - and recommend you do too.

3rd stay at Sandy’s beautiful property. Host is just a breeze to deal with and very responsive. Property is one of a kind and offers peace and relaxation. Thank you Sandy for allowing me the opportunity once again to stay at your home away from home. Cheers, Bre

The lodge was beautiful. The location was so peaceful and with amazing views. I would love to come back one summer and see the area in a different season. Michael was a fab host and we throughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks so much.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It had all that we needed and more. Very happy with the beautiful house, its location and the attentiveness of Perry. I couldn’t ask for more. Thanks for helping make our trip to Cape Breton great.

Keith’s place was perfect for my visit to the area. Very tidy, comfy beds, and a spacious place for me to relax after a day on the course. Attached to one of the best restaurants in the area. A great spot for a stay in Ingonish! Would recommend.

Darling home on the edge of a small inlet, on the outskirts of Chéticamp. The house was just as described and had everything we could have needed during our stay. Great base if you’re looking for a place to stay along the Cabot Trail. Would recommend! (I would also recommend L’abri and Woodroad if you’re looking for excellent restaurants in the area :))

We had a wonderful stay at Ruth’s place in Margaree Valley—a beautiful, serene location just off the Cabot Trail and close to Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Easy drives to Egypt Falls, Cheticamp, and Ingonish. The house was well-equipped for our family of four, and the 3-season room was perfect for enjoying the outdoors while staying protected from bugs and weather. There’s a short walk to the river near the bridge. No cell service, but the Starlink WiFi worked great. Ruth was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Heads up: gas stations are sparse and many close early without self-serve—when we visited, the only self-serve in Cheticamp was out of gas. Mosquitos and black flies were in full force, but bug spray (provided!) helped. Our kids loved the games and puzzles inside during rainy moments. Highly recommend to families looking to unwind in nature—we’d happily stay here again!

Absolutely loved our stay here! Check-in was a breeze with clear, detailed instructions sent in advance, making it easy to find and get inside. Stewart was incredibly flexible with check-in time — we arrived early since we didn’t stop for sightseeing on our way due to bad weather, and they were more than accommodating. They were also quick to respond to any messages. The place matched the listing perfectly, with all the amenities and services provided as described. It looked just like the photos, which was a pleasant surprise. Stewart visited us in the morning to provide helpful information and local recommendations. Very friendly, and always quick to respond to any questions. The location was stunning, with a beautiful view of the ocean and an amazing sunset view from the deck. The surroundings were peaceful and private, ideal for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, well-kept, and beautifully located stay with a fantastic host!

Everything looks just like the pictures, very clean and well cared for. Beds were super comfy, kitchen was well stocked, including little kid plates, cutlery and stool which my four year old was so excited about! Appreciated the wifi and smart tv, could stream and cast to tv with no issues for those rainy movie nights. My husband played the Cabot Cliffs, your about 20 minutes or less from Inverness. Nick is also a great host, I asked for recommendations on where to go to eat, and the recommendations were awesome. Wow what a view from the wrap around deck. Had coffee out there a few times! It’s a special place and easily one of the nicest Air B and B’s we stayed at on our tour of the Maritimes. Would highly recommended. Thanks for the great stay:)

This is a wonderful authentic farmhouse very close to downtown Sydney but with great views of the water among rustling leaves. We chose it as one of our bases for Celtic Colours and it was ideal.

Cozy cottage felt like home and the location is absolutely beautiful! Our final night here, we sat around the fire pit watching a deer eat in the field below, all while the sun was setting -it was such a magical moment!

What an amazing cottage! Cozy and comfortable with a beautiful view! We would gladly stay again!

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!
