Cottage vacation rentals in D'Escousse

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!

Katherine and Steven were excellent hosts. We had to reach out only once during the stay and they were extremely responsive and helpful. The location is beautiful and our family took full use of their hot tub, propane fireplace, open concept home and beautiful views. Catan was available to play and our kids spent hours chilling out and playing the game together. The only thing I would have wanted to know beforehand is that the walk back to the house from the river required an up-hill walk, which something not everyone in my family were able to do due to health/mobility issues. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

My family and I had a great time at Amber’s place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, clean place to stay while visiting Inverness.

This place is exactly as the listing says. Its clean and the beds are super comfy. It's so cute, it reminds me of my grandmas house. The hot tub was so hot, and didn't lose any heat while we were in it and it was super clean. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful location and beautiful cottage. Pristine condition and everything a person needs to settle in. We came prepared with our own items but they have provided many things. It is set up to have an experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Get some lobster and relax!

I would highly recommend. Kristy's place. It is very private with your own access to the lake. There is lots to do with canoes, lifesjackets, and washertoss games available. Or you can just relax on the back deck and enjoy the view.

Situated meters from the water, our cabin was a perfect couples get away. Thoughtfully appointed, extremely clean and above all very private. Although there are a couple of cabins on the property, there never was a time where we felt the presence of others. The hot tub privacy and views are amazing, and our hostess was very responsive. Above all, definitely a stay we want to do again. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone wanting to experience a natural and private couples retreat.

What a beautiful week we had at this perfect little cottage! We enjoyed our time so much and will be sure to come back if we ever get the chance. Gabarus is pretty and sleepy and we had the best time exploring the surroundings, just behind the cottage, as well as the public Gull Cove Trail nearly. We took advantage of the beautiful fire place to cozy up inside, enjoyed a bonfire outside and even took a quick dip in the sea at the beach close by. The bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen where clean, cozy and more modern than you would expect them to be in a remote little cottage like this. Thank you so much for the amazing stay!

Maggie is such a thoughtful host. The amenities available/provided are everything and more than you'll need on your travels. I loved how peaceful and clean the property was. I would love to stay here again if I'm blessed to visit Cape Breton in the future.

Thank you for everything, we felt like we were home

Lovely location - even though it was cool, we made a point of sitting outside to enjoy the beautiful view. (Which we could also appreciate as soon as we woke in the morning). We had one very minor issue with the toilet and Janet responded immediately to resolve it.

A very relaxing homey place and a lovely porch with view of the sunset over the mountain. Lovely short walk to the bridge and friendly folk who passed by. Had everything we needed and more. The quality of the cutlery and dishes and the amount and variety of the "Basics" available was impressive.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Kim and Mark’s cottage in Lake Ainslie. Kim and Mark are attentive, responsive, and considerate hosts. The location is perfect - far enough away from the nearest town to be peaceful, but close enough to all the amenities we needed. I would highly recommend a stay at this small retreat.

Amazing stay, the location is perfect, just outside of Sydney, but was quaint and peaceful. We were so fortunate to stay here and will again the next time we are in town. Thanks so much, would highly recommend!

Barbara’s cottage is pristine, relaxing, and beautiful. It is private, cozy, the perfect retreat. Barbara goes above and beyond with special touches around the cabin. I recommend the cottage to anyone looking for some peaceful tranquility!

This was a very beautiful place to stay! It was so nice waking up to the view. Lelia was also very friendly and accommodating. The beach was also very beautiful. We would love to come again in the future!

What a wonderful place! We had such a lovely time and did not want to leave. The property is gorgeous all around and the view is absolutely spectacular. It’s quiet and peaceful with lots of space yet still close to amenities. The cottage is beautiful inside too - it’s very clean, cozy and comfortable. The hosts and property manager are incredible with excellent communication. Every aspect of our stay was delightful and we would love to return!

Very charming, spotless and cozy cabin with all amenities you could wish for. I unfortunately stayed only one night as I was on my to the Cabot Trail (perfect location to start btw). Highly recommend!

This was our fourth stay in Aaron's beautiful cottage on Bell Bay Way in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, and it won't be our last! We stay every May for the iconic Cabot Trail Relay Race, and the cottage is the perfect place for our family of four racers to stay and relax when we are not out running and playing on the Cabot Trail. The beds are perfection, so comfortable. The views of the lake and the surrounding woods and mountains are gorgeous. The kitchen is full of everything you could possibly need, and the closets are full of toys and games. Aaron is so thoughtful with welcoming delicious drinks, and this year, we arrived during a cold nor'easter, so the gas fireplace was delightful on the first night. The cottage is big and sunny and so close to Baddeck. You could walk to town, but we drive the short drive and enjoy all the local flavor and flair of Baddeck in the shoulder season. You cannot go wrong staying at this beautiful home in this beautiful part of the world. We are so grateful.

Had a wonderful time celebrating a family birthday. Kids stayed in the pool most of our visit, it was a huge plus. Beautiful property, enjoyed a fire by the water. Plenty of space and all kitchen amenities were there. Would absolutely recommend.

Jody’s place was perfect for a one night stay along our road trip. Very peaceful and quiet surroundings. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the trails on the property due to it being bug season but the quick walk to the brook at the back of the property was lovely (loved watching and listening to the resident raven family!) Jody was the most friendly and responsive host. Most Airbnbs have excessive cleaning rules but Jody really made us feel spoiled and helped us feel like we’re on a true vacation. Overall, a very clean rustic little cottage in a very quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend as a stopover spot if travelling through the area.

The property is a quaint, newly renovated cottage. The decor offers a very relaxing beachy vibe. Proximity to the beach is a bonus. Theresa was excellent, readily available for any possible inquires.

We cannot recommend Kathryn and John’s home enough! I wish we could have stayed forever! The location is perfect- just steps from the water. The home was spectacular and well equipped for everything. The beds were very comfortable. The sheets and towels smelled fantastic! Great space for a family event! We had some car trouble while we were visiting and Kathryn and John did everything possible to assist us in getting the help we needed. They were wonderful hosts. I have stayed in dozens of Airbnb s over the years and this was one of my absolute favorites! Thank you Kathryn and John!
