Perfect location…beautiful cottage!

My husband and I enjoyed two wonderful weeks at Veronica’s Place. The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped with all the comforts of home. Aileen was so kind to start us off with a bowl of fruit, eggs, milk and many other grocery items on our arrival. She was also very helpful with suggestions of places to visit during our stay. The cottage is centrally located so we were able to easily do day trips. It is such a nice place to come back to and relax at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Week

We had a fantastic week - Aileen was a great host - her thoughtfulness, hospitality and attention to detail were clear from the moment we arrived! The cottage had everything we needed and the view of the lake was beautiful!! The area is great for biking, kayaking, hiking and touring but also a great place to relax - we will definitely be back! Thanks Aileen

The location along the Bras d'Or Lakes is amazing. The cottage is adorable and immaculate. Lots of local wildlife; geese, beaver, and King Fishers greeted me on my first night. The owner is lovely, and very accommodating. I can't wait to return. A definite 10 out of 10!!

A personal touch

Cottage was better than advertised- clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated. It was almost like being at home, except that it was in beautiful Cape Breton. Woke up every morning to a view of the beautiful Bras d’Or. Within reasonable reach of most areas on Cape Breton.

What a view

The view from the house is exceptional. It's a stand-alone house with a front porch overlooking the water. It's away from the hustle and bustle of tourism which brought peace, calm, and tranquility after a day immersed in the sights and sounds of Cape Breton, the Cabot Trail, and the National Park. Our host Aileen was an added bonus. She is a joy to interact with and helped make our stay more pleasant.

Wow, stocked like never seen before

While a little further away than originally thought, this precious cottage makes up in charm and comfort. We had noted previous reviews that we ought to do groceries ahead of arrival, so came prepared. However, owner had seen to supply more than i could have imagined. She is such a caring soul... we enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage.

There's nowhere else I'd rather stay!

The cottage and surrounding area are absolutely beautiful. Aileen maintains a beautiful property, and is nearby to help with any needs. I've stayed in several locations across Cape Breton Island, and this is by far my favourite.
