Doug Fraser Artist Loft Suite

It is like sleeping in a painting! From your balcony or hot tub, enjoy sweeping views of the ocean, lingering sunsets, and my sculpture garden while listening to the sounds of nature in this creative space. Our home and your suite is located just 4 km from the village of Inverness, the Cabot golf courses, a 3 mile white sandy beach and a 30 second walk to my art gallery. It has been described by travellers as peaceful, relaxing, romantic yet close to the action! Your cozy suite is located on the top floor of our home with your own private entrance. Your sitting room, kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom with a balcony is separated from our living space.

Our property is yours to enjoy. Take a stroll or do some meditation in my sculpture garden. Take advantage of the fire pit, barbecue and of course the hot tub is yours to enjoy on your own. I welcome visits to the gallery to talk art or provide directions and advice on your adventure.

Other nearby attractions include Cabot Golf and resort, fine restaurants, Glenora Distillery, hiking trails, trans Canada trail, harness racing, beautiful white sandy beach with the warmest waters north of the Carolinas. Summer water temps reach 22 degrees c.

Please note my gallery (oil on canvas) and sculpture garden is open to visitors during the day. If you are interested in a private gallery or garden tour don’t hesitate to ask. I also offer art classes. www.dougfraserart.com

I live here with my wife Carrie and our cat. Our kids have launched and we look forward to sharing our slice of artistic heaven.

We stayed just for one night but would have loved to have stayed longer to fully experience this incredible property! It was such a beautiful location with art pieces everywhere you looked. The host was incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay! The hot tub was a definite treat after a cool day hiking and the stars at night… wow! Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area and would stay again when we come back!

Our stay could not have been better! Beautiful comfortable loft apartment lacking no creature comforts! Our host Doug greeted us and gave a fantastic tour of his art studio and property. His paintings are lovely and his sculptures are full of energy! A mystical experience here-wish we could stay longer!

Wonderful stay

Doug's loft apartment was perfect for our quick stay, however, it could accommodate a longer stay with everything you would need. The views beautiful, the loft comfortable and clean, the kitchen adequate, and Doug's gallery and outside art sculptures made it a unique stay. The hot tub a bonus!

Wonderful suite and lovely hosts!

We spent one night at Doug and Carrie’s suite after a game of golf nearby. The suite is cute, exceptionally clean and very well equipped. We loved watching the sun set over the ocean from the hot tub on the deck! Had a great sleep in the comfy bed and really enjoyed a fantastic tour of the art gallery and sculptures with Doug who is an incredible artist! Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area! Thank you Doug and Carrie for a wonderful stay!

Wish we stayed longer

If you are considering staying at this location, don’t wait any longer. Just book. It’s an incredible property in a great location. The unit is well appointed and has everything you could want for a few night stay. The hosts communication was incredible and extremely friendly and inviting. The drive to nearby Inverness is 5 minutes, but you will have a hard time leaving the porch with the Ocean views. I highly recommend this spot.
