Cottage vacation rentals in Port Hood

We booked super last minute so we could stay longer in town to visit my grandparents - we were beyond pleased with our stay! We had asked the host if there was any stores near by as we weren’t familiar with the area just to grab the kids some hot dogs but nothing was close nor near by and the host actually came down with hot dogs, buns and ketchup for my kids! Such a sweet gesture!!! The cabin was adorable - above expectation! Will definitely book again!

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

Kirk and Kelley were very welcoming and lovely. The cottage was easy to locate and had some stunning views of the mountains and the lake. Thank you for hosting us and would indeed return for another get away in the future.

Last Min visit after our first place we had booked had to cancel due to waether and no power !!!! Place was cozy, and the hot tub and sauna was a nice added touch :) It had e everything needed and was close to restaurants and the beach.

It was a great little house to rent out and included anything we could have ever needed. The house had lots of character and was very welcoming. The hosts were very accommodating and ensured our stay went well. The kayaks hadn't been taken out yet for the season and within an hour they had been pulled out for us with life jackets and paddles provided. Totally recommend this Air BnB!

It’s a Shore thing rental was absolutely beautiful! Great for a relaxing and fun getaway! Jennie messaged with local things to do and was always communicative if we needed or wanted anything! The place was so beautiful and clean, and the aesthetic was amazing! The hot tub was amazing and the view was even better. Beds were super comfy as well. If we forgot anything, this place had it! The bathroom had luxury products, with toiletries, makeup, hairspray all nine yards and great shower products! Leaving a welcome message to my friends and me! Great girls weekend getaway! We cannot wait to come back and enjoy it again! Thank you guys once again!

Overall a great stay at a lovely cottage. Kristy was extremely responsive to questions during our stay. We had an early spring visit so the road in was a little messy, but that is no fault of the hosts/cottage. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Beautiful spot with everything we needed. Any minor issue or question was responded to immediately. It was our second stay here and we will be back again!

Really beautiful cottage. Booked it for a solo getaway and it was so relaxing! The view is amazing and the beach was the perfect place to watch the sunrise. The instructions to get to the cottage were really helpful as well. Would definitely go back!

The location was exactly as described and pictured. It even had a trampoline - which wasn't listed but was a surprise hit with the children. There was a lovely welcome package when we arrived with the satellite radio playing softly. We felt immediately at home. The location is stunning. We went kayaking, fishing, hiking, and enjoyed evening fires. The beach was gorgeous and the house was well equipped. The kitchen literally had everything you might need. We did have a question regarding the water quality and testing (notes stated it was spring fed and I wanted to be sure the water was potable as there was bottled water provided in the fridge) but did not receive a reply from the host when we enquired. Lots of towels, bedding was nice, and dogs were welcomed. For an active family with young children it was a wonderful place to spend a fall weekend.

Just as expected, very cozy and practical little cabin

We were visiting Cape Breton for Thanksgiving together with our in-laws. It was a great size for 4 people (and could probably hold a few more). Great layout, tastefully decorated, and was VERY clean. My mother-in-law was born and raised in the area, so we had a few visitors stop by - it was easy for them to find the place and there was space for them to park. The town had a power outage one evening - there was a knock at the door and the owner's father kindly brought us a propane lamp (we learned he lived in the area) which served us well for the rest of the evening. Power was back on when we woke the next day. Owner responded quickly to all messages. We would rent here again!

This is our third time visiting these cabins. They are fantastic each and every time we come. Our visit was in the winter this time and during a storm. The owner was very communicative with us, and the drive was plowed early so access was decent. There was a shovel provided that we used frequently. The heat pump kept the place very toasty. however I don't believe there is much insulation underneath the cabins, so if you are travelling in the winter, bring slippers or else you'll have very cold feet!

We are very happy with our seven night stay there. The kitchen was well equipped, so we were able to prepare almost all of our meals. Eileen greeted us with homemade biscuits and some thoughtful fridge provisions sufficient to get our next morning off to a cozy start. She made an effort to help us access Wi-Fi in the town of Inverness, but it turned out the cottage had good cell reception so we could use phones as hotspots to get a little work done such that we could really vacation in confidence. We were delighted to see a pair of bald eagles on the shore of the property, well as loons and kingfishers and many other birds. Our stay was in mid September, and the weather was delicious, sunny, with a crisp bite to the air on our last couple of days. Congratulations to Eileen on creating a charming getaway, I wish we had stayed three or four more days.

Ton’s cabin is great, nestled in a beautiful location, and Ton is always an excellent host

It’s a real Gem!!! Located a the month of Cabot trail with fantastic waterfront property!

Wow! Just a great place and she has it set up with everything you need. I really hope to get back there soon. I could not think of a single thing that was wrong. Good job Trina!

What a lovely spot. Very remote and peaceful. If you are looking for a private spot for some relaxation, peace and quiet - this is it! Also... And maybe the most important for me this trip... Kim was EXTREMELY helpful and responsive. I had to change my plans last minute and Kim was so understanding and helpful. Plus, she wrangled some help for me when I needed it. I liked the place, but I loved the hosts. Super grateful to these folks!

The house is spacious, modern and very clean. The surrounding area is beautiful, especially with the Colours in October. Each morning we enjoyed sitting with a cup of coffee in the crows nest upstairs and seeing the Bra d’Or Lake and hillsides. We had a problem with the front door lock when it often would not open or lock the door to our key presses. Aaron was responsive with providing a key to use instead. When we asked how to activate the floor heating which was not working, we were told to use the cozy gas fireplace to warm the house. That worked okay in conjunction with the ceiling fan.

This is our third stay. We love it here!

Loved everything about the cabin - may need an update for hot plate in kitchen but barbecue worked great. Attention to every detail including farmers matches, little flash lights, & rechargeable night light. We had 2 fabulous campfires, did stargazing & even had a full moon. We also enjoyed several Celtic Colours Festival events!

Second time staying here . It is a very clean, modern and a well kept place. Is well worth the money for the space.

It is such a breath of fresh air staying at Barbara’s cottage! It is spotless, well stocked, and beautiful linens. What makes it so special for me is the effort Barbara puts into the little touches! I have never stayed at an Airbnb with so much thought put into the guests experience! Barbara, thank you for making your cabin a special place to stay!

Absolutely marvelous accommodation for the two of us. Brand new appearance with the utmost in modern technology and architecture. Place was immaculate, well organized, and at the same time warm and comfy. The cabin design with many windows gives the vibe of an extravagant glamping experience with every single comfort and convenience. Breathtakingly beautiful views of lake, ocean and mountains including special lucky bonus viewing of some northern lights for us! Extra touches include heated floors, nature watching guides, and a thorough accounting of every dining, coffee and sightseeing opportunity nearby. As much as we enjoyed everything Cape Breton has to offer, we would consider returning just to experience this wonderful home again!
