Further details for this vacation house rental in Albert Bridge, Nova Scotia

Fortress Louisburg: The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Park is the crown jewel of the Canadian Park Service and the largest historical reconstruction in Canada. Fortress Louisbourg was built to protect France's interests in the new world and to serve as the centre of its massive seasonal fishing industry. Its location near the eastern tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia enabled it to serve not only as the capital of the new colony of Ile Royale but also to act as the first line of defence for France in its 18th century struggle against Great Britain for colonial supremacy in North America. About 40 minutes by car.

Cabot Trail: Awe-inspiring in all seasons. Welcome to one of the most beautiful scenic drives in the world. Named for famous explorer John Cabot, the Cabot Trail winds around the rocky splendour of Cape Breton’s northern shore, ascending to the incredible plateaus of Cape Breton Highlands National Park. This magnificent highway is carved into the sides of mountains that rise high above the shimmering waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Lookoffs offer unforgettable vistas of Cape Breton’s rugged coastline, where pods of whales can often be seen just offshore and bald eagles soar aloft on the ocean breezes. 2 day event, can be done partially in 1. The September 2007 issue of Bicycling voted The Cabot Trail 'The Best Ride in North America'.

Bell Bay: Bell Bay Golf Club is situated in the scenic village of Baddeck, Cape Breton Island. This beautiful Thomas McBroom course sits high above the Bras d'Or Lakes, North America's beautiful inland sea, overlooking the Bay from which it derives its name. The course offers incredible views from virtually every hole. Four distinct teeing areas on each hole have been provided to ensure challenging and enjoyable golf for players of all skill levels. Our bentgrass tees, greens and fairways have been nurtured by Bell Bay's turf-care specialists, making golf at Bell Bay a pleasurable experience. This is a 1 hr drive.

Golf: Take in a round at Baddeck's Belle Bay Golf Course on your way around the Cabot Trail. If planning an overnight excursion, the Highlands Links course in Ingonish Beach will knock your socks off! (Ranked #1 in Canada).

Other Activities: Fortress Louisburg & Cabot Trail

What a wonderful place to stay!

Paulette Bonnyville, Alberta
Review Submitted: October 5, 2007 Date of Stay: September 2007
This beautiful house on the Mira River is definitely a great place to call home. It is close to Sydney and not a long drive to some worthwhile attractions like the Fort Louisberg. This home is very well maintained, and the sunsets are spectacular! Would highly recommend.

Beautiful piece of Cape Breton

Grammy Roxanne Denver Colorado USA
Review Submitted: September 24, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
A beautiful home in a peaceful setting that was perfect for our extended family to headquarter for an Albert Bridge wedding. Plenty of room and exploring for the kids. We were just minutes from the beach, a trip to historical Louisbourg and convenient Sydney. Thanks for sharing such a great place.
