Photos and Description of the Margarees vacation cottage rental 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4

This stunning oceanside cottage is located in Chimney Corner, Cape Breton on a 150-acre property and has been featured in Canadian House and Home and Victoria Magazines. You’ll love the clean air and sound of waves rolling in on the rocks below. It is only two minutes to the beach itself. This architect-designed cottage is built on a bluff over the ocean and was designed to recall the best aspects of Maritime tradition, but to modernize them with an open-concept interior. It has a summer-y feeling, with a high ceiling, boarded walls and fresh white paint. Whales pass in front most of the year and the sunsets will knock your socks off. This design is best suited for couples, or couples with one or two children. The northwestern corner of the building is all windows and the ocean and beach views are breathtaking. The floors are gorgeous, wide, 150-year-old pine. As you relax back at the cottage in the evening, you’ll be reassured by the steady cadence of the Margaree Island lighthouse.

Cape Breton has been acknowledged as one of the great islands in the world to visit; there's all sorts of oceanfront-related activities: fishing wharves, lots of beaches closeby, whale watching, and swimming. There’s also salmon and trout fishing on the world-renowned Margaree River, just minutes away. This location will be a great base for other trips on the Island, and for checking out local music, entertainment, museums, craft galleries, and good eating. October features the Celtic Colours Music Festival. In our area, you'll also find excellent hiking networks, and access to the National Park, one of the wonders of eastern Canada. When you've finished for the day, come back to comfort and oceanside splendor.

Gorgeous cottage

Alex and Phil New England, USA
Review Submitted: November 10, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We spent a week in early July at this tasteful cottage with the breathtaking view. Every detail of the house is aesthetically pleasing and practical and comfortable. We found the kitchen very well equipped for cooking. The linens and towels are good quality and quite new. The house was spotlessly clean. Stewart was helpful but not intrusive. He went out of his way to provide us with excellent tips on what to do in the area. The nearby beach is secluded and off the beaten track so we had it to ourselves. It is a lovely sandy beach with nice calm waters for swimming (though this must be weather dependent). We highly recommend this spectacular spot.

lovely oceanside cottage with spectacular views

strawberryandtomato wisconsin, usa
Review Submitted: November 1, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Its description fits this lovely cottage exactly...and even though we had unseason cool and wet fall Cape Breton weather, we could stay warm burning wood in the wood stove, and read, enjoying the fantastic ocean view through the tall and wide "wall of windows" facing the ocean..even saw rainbows and bald eagle. The new deck is large and will be lovely to sit in with the same view, weather depending!. Stewart's hospitality was very appreciated, and he was quick to answer any questions. Highly recommend this cottage, and looking forward to coming again!!

Sensational

Michael&June Asheville, North Carolina
Review Submitted: October 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We can't say enough about this place. We enjoyed the coziness and architectural features of the cottage. It has a spectacular view towards the water that is absolutely relaxing. Steward and Bell are charming, helpful folks. There is no TV or radio, which was refreshing. It really forced us to relax and get away from it all. We enjoyed the whole island, but we certainly would stay on that side of the island again. It is quiet and quaint and was just what we were looking for. We hope someday to return to the Chimney Corners cottage. It's absolutely lovely and stunning.

Breathtaking!

MikeAndLori Oklahoma City, OK/USA
Review Submitted: October 11, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My husband and I just returned from spending the most amazing week at the Chimney Corner Cottage near Margaree Harbour on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Our stay and Stewart and Bell's hospitality far surpassed our expectations and we are already planning a trip back next summer. The cottage, built by Stewart, is amazing! There is no detail missing in regards to the comfort the cottage provides and the magnificent views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the sitting area, the kitchen, the porch, and the upstairs bedroom. We watched a bald eagle nearly fly up to the back porch, watched seals daily in the bay near the beach and a large pod of pilot whales moving slowly up the gulf. The location of the cottage is also on the Cabot Trail and provides easy access to explore all areas of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the East side of Cape Breton. We saw large moose on two occasions and completed the trail several times. You must also visit Cape Breton Clay and purchase one of Bell's beautiful art creations, shop at Two Mac's, eat at the Dancing Goat, and much more than we can ever list here. If you are even considering a trip to this magical and spiritual land, the perfect compliment is staying at this cottage.

Lovely Home

Ypselchen Trier, Germany
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The presented cottage is a lovely home for everyone who is seeking great views to the ocean, calm and comfortable living standard, as well as individuality. We didn’t miss anything; you can even cook a complete menu if you like. For any question, Stewart had a helpful advice. Therefore, we recommend warmly this exceptional vacation property and its all-round concept.
