Family-friendly vacation rentals in Isle Madame

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.

We really enjoyed staying here - it was peaceful, secluded and had really beautiful surroundings. Liane was very responsive, really helpful and always polite and friendly in her communication but otherwise the hosts gave us privacy and space. We loved spending time in the spa late at night; the landscaping and lighting made it very atmospheric and relaxing. We also really enjoyed the fire pit and BBQ, and walking through the woods and nearby St Esprit beach. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. I couldn't recommend this place more if you are looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful to spend a few days. It's also only a 25 minute drive to Saint Peters if you are looking for shops and restaurants. Our only complaint was that the weather wasn't good enough for us to take the kayaks out for the first couple of days, but sadly no-one can change the weather and it was a good excuse to sit by the fire pit instead!

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.

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.

beautiful location. perfect spot for a getaway. would recommend and stay again

Amazing house with best location to catch cobat trail !! House has amazing bedrooms and has some of the vintage amenities !! Amazing thank you

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.

Tranquil, peaceful and homey. John & Sandy’s cottage was a wonderful place to decompress for a few days. On our first morning we were treated with fresh free run eggs from the lady who cleans the cottage. ( this was prearranged for a small fee). We loved our walks along the beach and were able to take in the beautiful sunset’s. We appreciated the lighting along the pathway to the cottage from the beach. The location was the perfect spot to set off on our exploration of the island. We will certainly be back in the fall when the locals say the colours of the leaves are magnificent.

The Blue Heron cottage was a very comfortable place to stay. The water-view was spectacular. We have been to Cape Breton before, but this time decided to explore Isle Madame - beautiful area and the location of the cottage was just perfect for us.

Get some real R&R at this hidden gem, Port Hood Island’s only AirBnB. Arrive by boat which was a great adventure to kick off the trip. Hop around the trails and beaches in the golf cart which also handles luggage and supplies. The house is well-stocked with a thousand pieces of decor to remind you of the island’s fishing history. The charm of a well-built, well-loved Cape Breton home with some original doors, cabinets along with some modern upgrades. Dishes, housewares, appliances and furniture were more than enough for a small crowd. Lots of sofas to gather round, one table for games, another for dining and a third patio table on the deck with the most peaceful view. The only screen you’ll need is sunscreen (but Starlink is onsite for rainy days). The beds and linens were comfy, the bedrooms were spacious. New windows and an open concept made the space bright with spectacular views from all sides. You’ll never find a better host. Agnes was caring, helpful and felt like family.

We enjoyed our rural stay at Scotty’s. The house was comfortable and well equipped and a peaceful landscape. Close to Mabou and walking trails.

Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful view and the home was very comfortable. We spent a lot of time at Inverness beach and the Highlands National Park and the location was perfect for us. Our host was also very friendly and was great checking in with us to make sure everything was always good. Will stay again.

Thank you for the amazing stay.

This home was everything I could have asked for. It was cozy, private and the views were outstanding. Mabou is a beautiful area. Perfect place to rest and slow down from a busy life. Dave was very very responsive and helpful with suggestions. I would highly recommend staying here. Best bnb experience we have had.

Perfect spot. Perfect house. So clean, spacious and confortable. We are eager to go back. We highly recommand.

Courtney’s place is lovely. It is right in the center of Baddeck and has everything you need to enjoy your stay.

Derricks place was fabulous! It fit our needs perfectly. We stayed with kids and grand kids. Derrick was easy to reach if we had questions. The house was spotless and lots of room. My grandson especially enjoyed the basketball net. Would definitely stay again.

This place is beautiful! We really enjoyed our time there. I would highly recommend Port Hood Place! Richard was very friendly, helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back!

What a lovely spot! Getting up to a view of the cows in a field overlooking beautiful Antigonish Harbour was a fantastic treat. Nathanael was wonderful host, the AirBnb was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Had a great stay and would definitely recommend staying here.

Thanks again for having us Gail! Another happy guest!
