About this property

Cozy cottage minutes from the national park, trails + beaches (dog friendly!)

  • Welcome to Highland Haven, your cute, cozy mountain getaway at the base of the Cape Breton Highlands!

    This comfortable retreat sits on a quarter-acre property surrounded by breathtaking scenery and is less than a 5-minute drive to the Highland National Park entrance, the Gypsum Mine Trail, Aucoin’s Bakery (the best bakery on the island!), beaches, and all the charm of Cheticamp. After a day of exploring, unwind in the warmth of this peaceful haven.

    For snow seekers, it is located on a quiet road that leads directly to the snowmobile trail system, you can ride straight from the property and connect to miles of groomed routes throughout the Highlands National Park.

    Plenty of parking for trucks and trailers, easy access to the Cabot Trail, and a DOG FRIENDLY policy make Highland Haven ideal for year round exploration. If you are requiring more space for additional guests, check out our sister property Sunset Lane Cottage: https://www.vrbo.com/en-ca/cottage-rental/p9691610
