What our guests are saying

"Staying at this adorable cabin in the woods was one of the highlights of my Cabot Trail experience. It was secluded and comfortable rain or shine, with beautiful views and water access. They had everything I could need (or might have forgotten to bring) from shampoo to drinking water to bug spray. And the hot shower was excellent!!"

And that’s a wrap for the season! Cabins are officially closed, locked up, and we’re already planning for the season ahead :) We managed to get in a bonfire on our last night - the leaves were incredible and the temperatures were gorgeous. Feeling grateful for all the amazing guests, reviews, and support from family and friends. #capebreton #fallforcapebreton #cabottrail

Gorgeous sunset this evening over St. Ann’s Bay! #cabottrail #capebreton

Love the inukshuk (and fire pit) guests made at the waterfront :) #capebreton #cabottrail

During your stay enjoy our waterfront by taking the kayaks out for a paddle :) #cabottrail #capebreton #kayaking #summervibes #naturelovers

Just a few minutes down the road from the cabins is the Giant MacAskill Museum- a super interesting stop on the #cabottrail! #capebretonisland #museums

Located just 25mins from the cabins is @bigsprucebrew! Grab a pint, a burger from @rosessmashburgers, enjoy some live music if you’re lucky to catch some, or play some bean bag toss and chill by the bonfire. #summernights #capebretonisland #nscraftbeer #cabottrail #baddeck

Reading the reviews are one of my favourite things to do! Recent reviews from guests staying at the Nook- our smallest cabin on site :) #cabottrail #capebretonisland #visitnovascotia #cottagelife

“A beautiful location with amazing sunset waterfront views and with a very cozy cabin in the woods. It is everything you would want from a cabin: immersion in nature while being exceptionally clean and well-kept.” - Canopy Cabin review #cabottrail #capebreton #visitcapebretonisland #cabinliving #cottagelife #novascotia

“This is a beautiful location with amazing sunset waterfront views and with a very cozy cabin in the woods. It is everything you would want.” July 2024 Airbnb review #cabottrail #visitcapebretonisland #visitnovascotia #cottagelife #summervibes #capebretonisland #novascotia

A visual of our property which includes a two-level cottage plus 3 cabins. We can accommodate 12 guests across all 5 units. Come visit us! #cabotcottages

Our beach is rocky but still beautiful :) Hard but possible to get to by foot, take the kayak just around the corner on the right to find this sheltered cove :) #cabotcottages #cabottrail #visitcapebreton #visit Nova Scotia #capebretonisland

Come stay at The Canopy, “one of the best cabins I’ve ever been to”. #novascotia #visitnovascotia #capebreton #visitcapebreton #cabotcottages #cabottrail #novascotia #capebretonisland

Forest. Ocean. Hammocks. Kayaks. Summer is here in Cape Breton.

Great trip out to Bird Island with Donelda’s Puffin Boat Tours, departing just 5 minutes away from the cabins! #cabottrail

We are officially open for our first full season! Guests should be arriving any moment now and we just put up this beautiful road sign, no one will have trouble finding us now.
Thanks @levangieryan and @levangiemarc for the amazing craftsmanship!

We’ve renamed the cabins and are putting up more signage across the property :)
The Red Robin is now The Canopy :)
#cabottrail

The boys hard at work attaching the deck we moved from the camper to our third cabin, which will be a new unit for this season! #cabottrail #capebreton #cabotcottages

We now have hammocks!! @screendoorapiary are the first to try them out :)

And the opening of the cabins starts now! @levangiemarc is home for the week and we have a big to-do list to crush. Our first guests arrive in 6 days :)

Earlier in the year we had a bunch of rain that did some damage to the driveway, so @levangieryan and @levangiemarc rented an excavator, replaced the culverts and fixed up the pond! It’s now looking like a great water feature! #cabotcottages #landscaping

@levangiemarc flew in from Calgary last week to do some landscaping projects (with some fun machinery) and help close the cabins for the season! #familybusiness #cabottrail

When you have an old camper with a good deck, a cabin with no deck, and an excavator…#cabotcottages #cabottrail

Clearing some trees for a better view of the water!

@levangiemarc just landed in Nova Scotia - didn’t even put his bag down yet and already jumping into our culvert issues! Assistance from @screendoorapiary much appreciated :)

@tomspizzarestaurant in #baddeck is fresh and delicious, plus the staff are SO friendly! I’ve been there a few times this week- and you can’t go wrong with $3.75 a slice :D

Gorgeous sunset over St.Anns Bay from our waterfront!

The sun is shining bright and #baddeck is looking pretty beautiful right now!

I’m having a beer because today we are celebrating owning this property for just three short months! Huge shoutout to all our family (near and far) that made this crazy idea a reality!!

The seafood chowder, and especially the fresh homemade biscuits, hit the spot at Cedar House Bakery & Restaurant just 10mins from the cottages #capebreton

It gets dark early but that means lots of time for a bonfire. Now if only the wood wasn’t damp…

Both the trail and the waterfall were amazing! Only 30mins from the cabins and the trail is less than an hour round trip. #explorecapebreton

Gorgeous morning in Baddeck #novascotia #explorecapebreton

SO drones are fun! Learning / playing around yesterday…raw footage taken from our waterfront - can’t wait to develop this next season!! Thanks for visiting @elleinadboucher and fam :) #cabottrail

The calm before sunset is my favourite time to be on the water…this is St.Annes Bay, photo taken just a few mins past the cabins #cabottrail

An absolutely delicious honey hot chicken sandwich from @rosessmashburgers at @bigsprucebrew, complete with an IPA and a view!
Only 25mins from the cabins :)
