Charming home on the Strait of Canso

Behie House is close to nature - a hidden gem in Guysborough County for those seeking a tranquil getaway. Relax in our precious 3-bedroom home, with a spacious kitchen and dining area for large groups and a fully screened veranda located on a rural property where kids and animals can play.

Wake up to gorgeous views and come downstairs to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the Strait of Canso and Cape Breton Island.

A 25 minute drive to Guysborough and Cape Breton, Behie House serves as a great home base for exploring southern Cape Breton and the Eastern Shore. Explore our varied beaches to do some beachcombing, sightseeing, sunbathing, or swimming, and keep on the lookout for hiking trails - directions are provided on the fridge in the house (including some recommended, more hidden local areas!)

We are open year round. In the fall and winter you can expect a warm, cozy retreat with heat pumps on all levels of the house. So if you're looking for a wonderful getaway in the colder months, or even just a home all your own while you're on a business trip, Behie House is the perfect fit.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very clean and well kept home. The owner stopped by to make sure our stay was going OK and to see if we needed anything. Enjoyed spending time in Port Hawkesbury and sitting by the water at the nearby rocky shore. Owner has good directions on how to get to get to other nearby sandy beaches.
