“Beauty, birds, boats and beyond! A wonderful retreat!” We stayed at the boathouse for a week and couldn't have been more pleased. Nestled on the shore of a quiet bay that links to the big lake, we were enchanted by the beautiful surroundings and absolute peace. The boathouse itself is simple and spacious, very well maintained and provided a perfect place to kick-back and enjoy. A short walk down the lovely woodland path brings you to an expansive beach where you can explore, swim, sun tan or hunt for shoreline treasures. Our only neighbours were an eagle, a beaver, a heron, a countless variety of woodland birds...and a rather nearsighted bat we nicknamed "squinty". The owner is Eberhard, a wonderful host as well as a skillful and patient kayak and canoe instructor - well suited to assist anyone from the paddling novice, to those just requiring a brush-up on their skills. The dock is overlooked by the boathouse and is the launch-point for the boats. When people rented kayaks or canoes they would briefly pass by in front of the boathouse on their way to the dock. It never felt intrusive; in fact, it was often a lighthearted social encounter with a wave hello or a "good morning" from us or them. This is a place where you can be as active or as quiet as you wish to be. We rarely left the property but when we did, we would return, step through the door and feel instantly welcomed home by the cottage. This place afforded us much needed rest and relaxation along with some amazing adventures! We would definitely stay again.

“We want to go back!!” We stayed in Pleasant Bay for Canada Day long weekend. We had such a great time in Cliff Waters cottage. The cottage was very lovely, clean and cozy, and it looks like in the magazine cover: green field, cliff and no houses around, amazing!! There was so quiet and so peaceful, we didn't want to leave. Owners of the cottage were very kind and very helpful. First day we did hiking in Skyline trail. Views are so so beautiful from that lookout! the trail also is not far from Pleasant Bay. Second Day we did hiking in Meat Cove. And again views were spectacular! We loved driving on Cabot trail back and forth.Probably the most beautiful we have seen in Canada. On the third day we watched whales with Captain Mark. We saw more than 100 whales jumping in the water close to the boat and around the boat. Such a great tour! That day was very beautiful sunset and the sky, we sat on the terrace of the cottage, drank vine and enjoyed the sunset, was so romantic :)

About Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
Found on the north-east tip of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton is only connected to the mainland by a rock-filled causeway.
This makes it the perfect secluded spot for a week away, and there's plenty to explore while you're there.
You can see the island's history at almost every turn. You'll find evidence of the Acadians, Aboriginal and Gaelic forebears if you look hard enough – or head to one of the exciting museums on offer.
The rugged yet beautiful landscape makes this the perfect place to explore. So chuck away those maps, just wander through the forests, breath in that fresh air and let Cape Breton do the rest.
What to do in Cape Breton
The best way to see Cape Breton is to follow the Cabot driving trail. You drive along the shoreline, looking over rocky cliffs, and then right through the national park. Don't forget your camera, because this is one trip you do not want to miss!
If you fancy finding out more about the history of the area, there are plenty of opportunities to do so. Head to the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site – it'll show you how the Silver Dart—one of the earliest airplanes—was created! The Cape Breton Centre for Heritage and Science is pretty good, too.
For a real step back in time visit the Fortress of Louisbourg – the largest historical reconstruction in North America. It's a bit noisy with all the military drumming, musket shots and bubbly townfolk, but it's an experience you'll never forget.
As Cape Breton's an island, it's no surprise that there's lots to do on the water. Go canoeing or kayaking, or take a boat out and go whale watching.
