Discover a hidden gem along the Cabot Trail at our historic farmhouse in Baddeck, Nova Scotia. Set on 37 acres of unspoiled private fields and meadows, this well cared for retreat offers the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. With space to sleep 6 guests, it’s ideal for a family or two couples seeking a cozy, authentic experience amidst nature.
Enjoy morning coffee on the porch, take in the sweeping views, and explore the charming village of Baddeck just minutes away. Whether you’re hiking, sightseeing, or simply relaxing under the stars, this farmhouse provides a serene home base for your Cape Breton adventure.

Waterfront access is only a short drive away at the village wharf and boardwalk. Peaceful waterside setting to enjoy while strolling and sitting to take in the views.

The farmhouse is located on rolling countryside just a few miles outside the village of Baddeck, Nova Scotia. Wireless internet and Cable w/HD TV allows for 24/7 connectedness- when YOU want it- and only IF you want it! Our family rental guidebook contains local information about restaurants, beaches, hiking trails and more.

The 4 bedroom farmhouse has 3 bedrooms + 2 full bathrooms on the second floor, and an office/ futon bedroom on the first floor adjacent to the kitchen.

An added bonus is the outdoor shower- useful for rinsing off after a beach day or try it by the light of the moon!

CENTRAL LOCATION: Baddeck is a northern Canadian resort village on the shores of the world renowned Cape Breton Island adjacent to the Bras d'Or Lakes.
Explore all that Cape Breton has to offer. Our cottage is just 3 miles from town along the Bay Waterfront. It is a great place to use as 'home base' on the Cabot Trail - which is considered 'the Beginning and the End' of one of the most scenic drives in North America.

SWIMMING : Take the Baddeck Lions Club ferry ride over to Kidston's Island from the Government wharf to enjoy sandy beaches, lifeguard supported swim area with raft, and picnic tables for casual dining options.
A favorite spot for so many!

FISHING, RECREATION: Trout and salmon fishing are one hour away. Permits are available in Baddeck. Close to many fine beaches, trails for hiking, the Alexander Graham Bell Historic Site, Fort Louisburg and the Gaelic College.

GOLF: Numerous enjoyable golf courses are minutes away: Choose Bell Bay Golf Course- only minutes by car, or the new Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs in Inverness, which are less than 1 hour's drive. Consider another nearby course- Highland Links at the beautiful and prestigious Keltic Lodge at Ingonish Beach.

    Beautiful setting with easy access to town. Enjoyed the separate lounging areas, tv versus reading and conversation. Two bathrooms made sharing easy for two couples. Had a great stay.

    Your rental was the perfect quiet getaway to spend time together as family and enjoy a peaceful calm atmosphere. The rental was very well equipped and time spent on the front porch was priceless.We were surrounded by nature, yet only 10 minutes from all amenities in town. The owner was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions promptly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to others.

    The Farm House was an awesome venue. It was rustic but very comfortable and was everything we had hoped. We were 6 adults and there was lots of space, bathrooms and beds that made living together for 5 days very relaxing. I would highly recommend this as an option if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to lay your head in The Baddeck, NS area. It also has the distinction of being very central to exploring the whole island.

    My youngest wanted to frolic in wild flowers somewhere in the Maritimes after graduating from high school, and chose Nova Scotia. Jan's home was a wonderful base for several relaxing days in a beautiful part of the world. Convenient to Baddeck and anything needed, and a great Cabot Trail starting point. Jan and the on-island folks were very responsive to any concerns and even called to check on us a time or two. No complaints at all. A beautiful home.

    This is a beautiful old farmhouse with modern charm. It comfortably slept 2 adults and 3 children age range between 5 - 10 years old. Had plenty of games for rainy days. Good biking and fishing just down the driveway and an easy ride to town. My family loves the location and took day trips to Highland Village, drove the Cabot Trail and others. Jan was very responsive to any questions we had and the binder with local recommendations helped us plan our relaxing days. The dryer was not working but it didn’t matter with the cloths line on the porch. There is no dishwasher which played into the charm of the home for us. Baddeck, Cape Breton and Nova Scotia may have just stolen are hearts.

    Very comfortable large farmhouse. Clean and in good condition, well furnished. Well equipped with towels, dishes, cleaning supplies, and even a few spices/condiments. House is over 100 years old, so does have somewhat steep stairs (with bannister)and slightly uneven floors. Might be difficult if your mobility is limited or you have toddlers. Did not cook much, kitchen functional but no dishwasher/limited room for washing a lot of dishes. A few miles from Baddeck, a charming small village on the Bras d' Or Lake with some very decent casual restaurants (lobster:) Owner and manager both very helpful. Lovely scenery and close to Cabot Trail. Note this is a rather rustic area not touristy like Cape Cod etc. If thats whar you are seeking you will have a wonderful stay!

    Wonderful farmhouse, great location with surrounding fields and forest! If not for Hurricane Fiona we would have stayed longer. Baddeck is a terrific little village too! You should book here!
