Stayed Oct 5, 2023We had a great time in Cheticamp at the Blue House. Here are the best features: lots of room for the dogs to run in the fields, great location, house has everything you would need, clean, comfortable beds, and a great vibe. A few weaknesses: the house is a bit cluttered and needs some TLC. However, we would come back again.

Stayed Oct 7, 2022The brave Blue House has a lot of history. It has withstood hurricanes and relocation which involved being partially submerged in the harbor during the process. It's in a beautiful location, very private and set back from the road and has views of Cheticamp and the water. In addition, it's a short drive to the Highlands National Park. The main thing we found lacking was the housekeeping. My family and I agreed that the house could use a thorough spring cleaning. We're not all that fussy, but we noticed it needed some work. The house is also in need of some general maintenance. We never met Gretchen face-to-face, but all of our interactions with her were cordial and pleasant. She also was very generous. She offers her kayaks and bikes for her guests' use. In addition, the kitchen was well stocked.

Stayed Sep 11, 2022The home was as advertised and Gretchen was wonderful. She met us as we arrived with a bouquet of flowers. She reviewed the property, how to reach her in case we needed anything, and then left us be to explore. We will definitely be going back!!

Stayed Aug 28, 2022The house is comfortably and creatively furnished, with all the amenities you might expect (and then some). The location is stunning, and is very close to the entrance of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The island itself has plenty of interest, with scenic roads to walk or bike on, a lovely beach. We will definitely be back!
