Waterfront One Bedroom Apartment
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 12 reviews
"Kathryn & John are very focused on making their guests comfortable. The unit is extra clean, well appointed with furnishings, and exactly as portrayed in the listing. The setting is extra rural. A very quiet place. You can see the stars at night, hear the birds all day, and watch a porcupine climb up a tree out your window. Antigonish is a small town, a 10-minute drive away. But we found everything we needed. The unit is strategically located about 40 minutes from the causeway to Cape Breton...

"WOW!!!!! The house is absolutely gorgeous and the host, Paul, so genuine and welcoming. It was a cold day when we arrived and he had a fire in the fireplace, nice music playing, candles in the windows, and string lights on outside. Felt like home as soon as we walked in. The house is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and well appointed. Being dog lovers (especially Goldens in my case), it was an extra treat to be greeted by Enzo and Milo and watch some of their antics. Being cold and rainy...
