    closeby to help you or give you local recommendations Pleasant
    Bay is a great place to base yourself if you want to explore the most popular part of the Cabot Trail - between Cheticamp and Ingonish (see map) - and be central to the National Park. Pleasant Bay is bordered by National Park at both entry points. It is arguably the best place to watch whales, and has four very different whales tours operating at the Pleasant Bay Harbour. Touring by boat is also a great way to explore the National Park and many miles of our uninhabited and wilderness protected areas. You may also tour the very unique Gampo Abbey Buddhist Monastery and Stupa of Enlightenment, which was built for westerners and has been host to thousands of students from all over the world and many life monastics.

Charming and cozy

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated Niki’s attention to detail. The cottage is in a quiet location in the small village of Pleasant Bay which lives up to its name. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, and we had everything we needed to feel at home.

Convenient location, cozy cottage

We enjoyed our stay in the very cute Old Salt Cottage! It was very convenient to adventures in and north of Cape Breton park. Beds were comfy. Cottage is older but well maintained and freshly updated. Gas, groceries, and other convenience stores were not as close, but we were warned (it was not hard to remember to get stuff while we were out adventuring on the Cabot Trail). We would absolutely stay here again!

August - family of 5 (children 5-11 y/o)

It was a great stay. Excellent location just off the Cabot trail with access to the park and not a long drive to Ingonish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore this beautiful part of our country. The property exceeded expectations. Make sure to fuel up in cheticamp. If you are arriving via cheticamp the coop grocery store there has anything you may want.

Comfy and close to everything in northern Cape Breton

We are a family of 4 and wanted to be close to hiking, beaches, whale watching, and Cheticamp. We got all that and more. The Old Salt Cottage was a cozy, comfortable retreat for us and an excellent home base for adventuring!

Lovely escape

We had a lovely stay at the Pleasant Bay cottage. It is beautifully set up and charming. It has the best appointed kitchen of all the VRBOs we have stayed at. Niki was extremely responsive and answered all our questions, as well as providing some great local info. I highly recommend the cottage.

Such a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and well equipped. We spent a lot of time on the deck and loved it - a humming bird and chipmunk visited regularly and we could enjoy the heat without getting burnt. Unfortunately all the trails in Nova Scotia were closed (fire risk) but we swam a lot at Red River beach. We had a great week.

lovely home in a quiet neighborhood

We had a great time on our vacation! Niki was an excellent host who responded really quickly and provided very clear information. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and we loved the rural location. The local beach was perfect and we were able to explore most of the Cabot Trail via several day trips.

Quaint, well appointed farmhouse with modern plumbing fixtures and appliances. Centrally located to Cape Breton Highlands National Park. Rooms are small but comfortable. Everything you need is there. Lots of attention has been given to small details. Private location on low traffic road very close to the Cabot Trail. Very quiet and homey.

My favourite place on the Cabot Trail

I have been visiting the Cabot aTrail now for close to 20+ years and by far my favourite place on the Trail is Pleasant Bay! The scenery here is amazing, water, mountains, rivers, whales, eagles, open vistas and tons of fresh air! Our group stayed at the Old Salt Cottage and we will be back again, and again! If you are looking for a truely Canadian experience - this exceptional clean, cozy cabin - surrounded by mountains is as good as it gets! Make sure to take a moment and soak it all in from the front porch...you may just never want to leave. Thanks Niki for allowing us to stay at your amazing place! As mentioned, we’ll be back...hopefully sooner than later
