Family-friendly holiday 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 really enjoyed our stay! Location was perfect! 2 minute drive from our whale watching excursion. The cottage was clean, comfy and cozy. The hot tub was also very well maintained and clean. I would definitely recommend staying here. Great place to have a nice relaxing stay.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Very clean and great camping spot. Beautiful views

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

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

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!

Super cosy, very comfortable spot! Wished the fireplace worked, but was very warm even without it

Cozy cottage felt like home and the location is absolutely beautiful! Our final night here, we sat around the fire pit watching a deer eat in the field below, all while the sun was setting -it was such a magical moment!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay here. We explored the area and completed lots of hikes near by. We visited the Co Op grocery store every day and made our food at the Airbnb. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed. We loved the view from the kitchen and living room area. We also enjoyed having the space upstairs as well as the separate space in the basement. The 3 bathrooms was a bonus!

This was a cozy place for our family of four in the heart of Cheticamp. It’s close to grocery, bakeries, and local restaurants, and we loved being on the water and so close to the Cabot Trail/National Park. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was clean, and the deck was relaxing. This definitely was a great place to stay for the activities we wanted to do in the area.

Great place to stay on the west side of the island, wonderful sunsets and a great view from the living room and loft bedroom.

Our stay at the cottage was truly the best experience we’ve ever had. Everything was absolutely perfect—from the cozy atmosphere to the beautiful surroundings. The place was spotless, well-equipped, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. A heartfelt thank you to Kevin and Katty for being such kind and welcoming hosts. Your care and attention to detail made all the difference. We’re so grateful and can’t wait to come back!

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!
