Family-friendly vacation rentals in Inverness County

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 .

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.

This place was absolutely beautiful. We were fortunate the rain stayed away until late in the evening so we enjoyed the beautiful sunny day. Hit the town for a relaxing walk before retreating to the chalet for a nice bbq and drinks on the patio as we watched all the boats passing by on the water. The inside was immaculate and the hot tub was an amazing way to end the night. Our host was quick to respond to questions and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Was a great way to spend a 1 year anniversary 😊

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.

Lovely home, there was 5 of us and it was great having our own bedrooms. Very relaxing, great location and everything you could ever need was supplied. Highly recommend

This is a truly delightful location to stay. Bernadette was a welcoming host and made sure I had everything I needed for my visit. The farm fresh eggs and Cape Breton biscuits were an added bonus. The peacefulness of the farm surrounding and night sky make for a great place to truly relax . Mornings were welcomed by Eoin, their dog who is friendly and affectionate.

Great place to stay. Very private. Great property. Older home with lots of character.

5 stars all the way. Unbelievable view; we could have sat on the deck and looked at it all day, and sometimes we almost did. Randall was a fabulous and communicator who went way of his way to ensure a totally memorable stay for us. The house isn’t the most modern of homes but who cares? We were extremely happy, comfortable and cozy on the deck, couch and bed and we had everything we needed. I know it’s sounds silly but honestly the only downside was that we couldn’t stay longer. Next time we will.

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

such a gorgeous & peaceful place to stay! looking forward to our next stay.

A lovely, modern home with a perfect lake view and access to the water! We really enjoyed the design of the home, with tons of windows (but don't stay here if the thought of things watching you from the woods freaks you out! But nothing is watching you...). The living/kitchen area is open and airy, with sliding patio doors that open toward the lake and a deck. Nice wood-burning fireplace. Very functional kitchen, easy to cook in. Well-separated bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms would make this great for a family (or just 2 people, as we were). Infloor heating is nice. Kayaks and other outdoor things available. No TV, but we were OK with that (and used our computer and the fast internet connection when we wanted to watch something). We had not been to Cape Breton before and liked this location - 10 minutes to Baddeck and about 1.5 hrs. to the south end of Cape Breton Highlands National Park (either west or east coast). Lots of hiking near-by, appreciated the host's ideas on that.

Such a peaceful place to relax and de-stress from the everyday nonsense, while having lots to do in beautiful Cape Breton all around you

Five stars plus. We’ve stayed at Airbnb’s elsewhere in Canada and in various places in Europe -but this place put the rest to shame. Our super host, Paula, has a keen sense of colour, an appreciation of comfortable furnishings arranged in an artful way and an excellent understanding of what to have on hand, in terms of cooking utensils and accessories, to fully make her house your home. The house, literally sets across the road from a quiet harbour, offers superb views from every window, and is close enough to several towns to fascilitate grocery plus wine/beer shopping. We had a truly delightful week and were sad to say goodbye. Joan and Phil

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!

I would 100% recommend this location. Tommy is an amazing host. He was exceptionally easy to get a hold of and responded almost immediately to any questions we had. The cottage is super clean and absolutely beautiful. We would stay here again.

An excellent spot to have a home base in Cheticamp. Very close to the National Park, and very quiet and peaceful by the water. The house is very clean and modern. Gaetan was very helpful and responsive.

This was a great place to stay before we went to hike around the Cabot trail. Joeleen had great local recommendations that were really helpful for us to decide where to eat and what to do. Thank you for a great stay!

Great house and great location. Easy check-in. Note that there's no direct beach access from the property, but it's only about half a mile down the street.

Beautiful 4 bedroom home with a gourmet kitchen and lots of space. This home was perfect for our group of seven and felt like home as soon as we unpacked. The location is perfect for driving the Cabot Trail, exploring the many trails in Cape Breton Highlands National Park as well as the town of Cheticamp. Sunsets at the beach are a must. Extremely responsive and helpful. We will definitely be coming back. Thank You!

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!
