Awesome and Affordable River Cottage

Precious cottage with an Angel's View

Overlooking the first Salmon Pool of the Cheticamp River, bordering the Highland National Park, and minutes away from the Acadian French village of Cheticamp, this jewel will please your soul.

Appearing to be remote, the active village is just 2 minutes away with drug store, grocery, beauty shops, gift shops, bakeries, museums, whale tours etc. But at the cabin you are surrounded by privacy of trees, mountains, and the Cheticamp River. Two blocks away is the Gulf of Saint Lawrence where the Cheticamp River spills into the salty beach.

The cabin is small but the view is large. Offering a full view of the Cheticamp River and Highlands National Park is your ever changing view. We watch moose, bear, deer, coyotes, chipmunks, squirrels, and eagles as they cross the river and forage the flora. Enjoy evening camp fires in the fire pit. Canoe the river at high tides or just sit and relax on the lawn with a view worth Angel's wings.

Inside the cabin is comfy sofa and chairs, Flat screen Smart TV, full kitchen and standard bathroom.

Fishing is fly reel only from the pool up. It is a scheduled river so 'catch and release'. You can trout fish also.

This is our private cabin so we maintain it with the comforts we expect for daily living.
We have outside amenities such as Bar- B- Que, , Fire Pit, Picnic tables, and outside chairs.


I am dog friendly. If you have a dog you want me to consider, please tell me the age, size and breed when inquiring to this listing.

During Covid Restrictions and Protocols, we are allowing 48 hours minimum between guest for our housekeepers and your security.

Nice cabin with a fantastic view
Stayed 4 nights - lost one due to post-tropical storm Lee. A great stay, though the weather didn’t cooperate. Had wind in rain 3 of the 4 days, oh well. Well equipped with comfortable furniture. Not luxury, but nice. Really enjoyed the stay.

Angels View
The house was warm and comfortable. It had everything we needed down to seasoned cast iron skillets and good knives. The view from the house was amazing! The view got even better when sitting in the yard which sits on a bluff overlooking the Chetticamp River with mountains in the distance and fields of willow below us. Eagles were commonly sighted and there was a lot of beaver activity in the river below. Very peaceful and serene. We would definitely visit this house again when in the area! Just lovely!

Basic cottage on a beautiful property
The cottage has two rooms, a living room, a bathroom and a small kitchen and is located in a beautiful property overlooking the River. In our experience, the view on the River is really the highlight of this property - it is just majestic. There also are a lot of birds in the surrounding forest and it is beautiful to hear them sing throughout the day. There is an outdoor picnic table perfect for lunches but not so much for supper as it was buggy at the end of the day. Some dishes were not clean and we could live with it as we understand housekeeping might not have the time to check all the dishes - however, the fridge was not clean and this was a problem for us. We liked the air conditioning. All in all, we recommend this accommodation - beautiful and peaceful setting with a rustic yet comprehensively furnished cottage. Thank you.

Adorable hideaway
The view out our front window looked like a picture. The location was absolutely perfect as a jump off point for entering the national park each day. It’s close to stores and restaurants. The house is fully furnished with everything you’ll need to be comfortable and beyond. Our host was very accommodating and when we had questions she was quick to respond.

This place is simply magical if you're looking for serenity and a break from the cities. It's situated back from a dirt road, overlooks a river, and is adjacent to Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Be aware that water is supplied from a tank, so you'll need to conserve. We didn't find that to be a problem for us. We could have stayed much longer!

Can't wait to go again!
This rental and the location were so perfect for us that we are already discussing a second Cape Breton trip in the next couple years if we can get the same place. The cottage had everything we needed plus a magical view over the river into the park mountains. I literally watched an eagle from above. We travel with two dogs and found a variety of walking paths for them in the woods and along and down to the river, or could walk to the beach just down the road and then along the beach or the pond by the beach. There is easy access to the most scenic drives and trails in the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and the visitors center to buy a pass is nearby, as well as an amazing bakery to get your snacks for your outing. The owner answered any questions we had clearly and promptly. Can't wait to go back!

Little Paradise
Stayed here for four days and it was wonderful! Even though the national park was closed and only open to thru traffic due to hurricane Fiona´s legacies, this little paradise wasn´t affected at all and we spent a heavenly time overlooking Chéticamp River. Communication with Jacqueline was just great! This is a real gem!
