In the heart of Cape Breton Island we are a travelers' home away from home!

Sitting on Salt Mountain, overlooking the beautiful Bras D'or Lakes, we are minutes away from the world famous Cabot Trail, highlighting 300 km of ocean, mountains, wildlife and amazing views!

Our central location on the Island is the perfect spot from which to explore & hike Cape Breton's National & Provincial Parks, discover Baddeck , go back in time at Lousibourg and enjoy world class beaches!

We're also amongst world class sailing, hiking, kayaking and whale watching. Learn about the diverse cultural history of the island & enjoy the musical nightlife!

Sit back, grab a hammock , relax and watch the eagles soar overhead and the moose walk in the backyard!

Your bed is made for your arrival, so drop your bags and relax on our sunny outdoor patio. BBQ while taking in a 180 degree view of the lake, and later roast marshmallows by the bonfire!

Enjoy free internet/WiFi, on-site parking, fully equipped guest kitchen, linens, guest laundry, an ipod compatible stereo!

Our dorm rooms sleep 4 to 6 people and our private rooms come with their own private lounge and deck.
