| We loved the peacefulness of the lake and the surrounding views of the mountains as we swam, canoed and kayaked. We also enjoyed many hours reading in the hammock. The kids loved exploring the mountain and climbing through the river rocks. We all had such a blast sitting under the cold refreshing waters of the waterfall. This truly is a hidden paradise! It was also close enough to Baddeck and provided great access to the Cabot Trail Route. Our hosts: Ruth, Aaron and their dog Doc demonstrated warm hospitality and made our stay so welcoming. If you like to escape from the hustle and bustle of life this small, private cabin in the woods is a perfect place to unwind!

| Ruth and Aaron's cottage is the PERFECT East Coast escape.
Coming from Halifax, this was the exact break from everyday hustle and bustle that my partner and I were seeking this Summer.
You could not ask for better hosts, more privacy, better location or a cozier place to escape to.
The pictures listed do not do this cottage justice! The lake pictured, you have ENTIRELY to yourself and it is absolutely breathtaking. There is plenty of room with all of the amenities (and more) for a "rustic" cottage including a fully stocked kitchen, lovely dining nook, couches, comfy beds, a full shower and bathtub, potable water (and spring drinking water provided), well lit in the evenings, a BBQ and fire pit, canoe and kayak, hammocks, outdoor seating and lots of books provided! Lots of little extras too, that will surprise you on your arrival.
The bugs were quite abundant during this abnormally humid summer we've had but there was plenty of protection including a screened porch to keep them out of the cottage. Also what should be noted, cell phone reception is nil and about 15-20 mins drive away, there is no television and only a small radio, this suited us just fine and we found the break from technology overwhelmingly welcomed even as young professional's (usually screen heavy) who were weary of this aspect.
Our advice: Don't hesitate to book this cottage! We were pleasantly surprised by every aspect of this property and our experience.

| This has the most beautiful scenery! We loved the lake, waterfall & kayaking. We stayed when the Celtic Colours festival was going on. A great time to be in Beddeck!! Lots of music & the trees was changing at it's peck. This cabin is about 30 mins. from the college so it was close enough to all the action. Aaron & Ruth was very friendly and commentating to us.

| We loved our stay at Ruth and Aaron's cottage. It's very conveniently located at a short distance to many scenic beaches and hiking trails, as well as the Cape Breton national park, but honestly the property itself is so huge and beautiful that we barely wanted to leave. The cottage is surrounded by meadows, forest, streams, a beautiful waterfall and a big private lake that we swam in every day. The cottage itself was cozy and simple, and accommodated our group of five comfortably. Ruth and Aaron were great and thoughtful hosts: they were available if we needed anything and they gave us great recommendations on nearby activities. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking to visit Cape Breton, or even just to spend a relaxing week in nature.

| A tranquil and beautiful piece of paradise, off the beaten track but central to the Cabot trail and close to Baddeck, which we found to have the most tourist activities for a single town on the trail. Being central to the island gives you good access to the Bras D'Or lakes, Sydney and Louisburg but once you see the property you won't want to leave. Ruth and Aaron are very welcoming, the cottage is basic but with every ammenity you might expect. Close by are the artisan studios of the Cabot trail which you can peruse at your leisure before driving the trail. On the property is a beautiful waterfall that is so stunning you might expect it in a national park. Enjoy the peace of the lake in one of the owners canoes or by taking a swim in stunning surroundings. Just Wow!
