Cottage holiday 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.

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.

Our stay was fantastic! The hosts were friendly and welcoming. We had to check in at their charming pub nearby, which caught my eye with its beautiful exterior. It was undergoing renovations and we couldn’t dine in, but the hosts kindly offered us takeout. The food was delicious, and they even hand-delivered it to our Airbnb, which was a nice touch! The view from the cottage was amazing, and nothing beats enjoying it from the hot tub. I have no complaints at all! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a wonderful getaway.

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!

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.

3rd stay at Sandy’s beautiful property. Host is just a breeze to deal with and very responsive. Property is one of a kind and offers peace and relaxation. Thank you Sandy for allowing me the opportunity once again to stay at your home away from home. Cheers, Bre

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.

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!

We were looking for a pleasant, quiet, relaxing spot with proximity to family in Sherbrooke. This cottage was MORE than that! Our time at Black Duck Run was like a pretty oasis, inside a wonderful holiday. Water, beaches, tranquility ….

My wife and I enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return. Janet was very helpful and kind. The provincial park near by has a great beach to walk on.

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!

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

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.

We had a fantastic stay at Marcies! The cabin was cute and clean, but we spent most of our time admiring the beautiful view and wildlife from the observation deck and exploring the beach. When we did spend time inside the screen room and sun room were perfect. The location was unbeatable, and the beach and gravel road was manageable in our VW golf. Check in/out was easy and Marcie was a great host, she was quick to respond anytime we needed something and provided lots of helpful information about the area.

Everything at the cottage was fantastic; we felt right at home. There were eight of us, and the house had enough space for us all and enough bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the appliances that you need. It was a great stay, and I recommend it to anyone

Beautiful home that well suited our needs.

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.

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!
