We had a great time staying at Stewart’s cottage. He replied quickly to any questions and had great suggestions for things to check out in the area. Very quiet and peaceful.

Stewart’s cottage is the most perfect place to be. Surrounded by incredible nature and sunsets that I will never forget. It is truly a magical and rare place and you can feel the love that went into the space. It was such a wonderful experience I am going back in the fall for another magical week.

our stay in chimney corner was exactly what we needed to unwind! the property was even more beautiful than pictured and we couldn’t wait to return every night for sunset. many thanks to stewart for all his suggestions and the excellent communication throughout! we hope to return next summer!

What a magical week. Stewart's cottage is everything you need and nothing that you don't. A stunning location, easily accessible to so many treasures - beautiful beaches with crystal clear water, well maintained hikes and trails, one-of-a-kind food shops with real character, music and more. We're excited to return and to send people we know to experience the beauty and bounty of Cape Breton.

This cottage is beautiful and comfortably appointed with all the things you need for an amazing stay in Cape Breton. The view is absolutely spectacular with the most amazing sun sets. The location is excellent for exploring all that Cape Breton has to offer and Stewart's a great host with lots of tips about the area. We had a fantastic week enjoying this spot and hope to return in the future. Five Stars!!!!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Stewart’s Cape Cottage. His properties are all so beautiful but the vista from this one was particularly glorious. Stewart was the perfect host - he helped plan our entire stay with his wonderful and easy to follow recommendations/directions. We are already dreaming of booking again next summer. Don’t hesitate to stay here, or at any of his other cottages!!

We can’t wait to come back and stay at this beautiful VRBO. My family had an amazing week stay at simply the best place to call home for bit. Location- Vast ocean views with the nicest sunsets seen anywhere. Close to amazing beaches for swimming and relaxing. So many places to see or just sit back and enjoy the peace. The cottage is located in the perfect location for a day around the Famous Cabot a trail or a quick drive to Inverness for golf, beach or eateries. The host Stewart is the nicest host I’ve encountered. He really cared about our stay and ensured we had everything at our finger tips. Super knowledgeable and has fantastic recommendations to ensure the best possible experience possible. Thank you. See you soon. J

The “Cape” was a lovely spot to tuck into for a week. Situated up a steep hill overlooking the Northumberland Strait it offered beautiful sunsets and easy access to beaches, amenities and the National Park. The place had everything one might need - a well supplied kitchen, books, music, games, beach towels, a comfy bed and an excellent shower. The host made himself available and provided useful tips and advice for the cottage and the area. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfy base from which to explore this part of Cape Breton.

Such a wonderful week at such a beautiful property. The view is amazing. Sun, rain, cloudy, whatever the weather, such an amazing view to wake up to everyday. A perfect location for exploring the west coast of Cape Breton, a two minute drive to a beautiful beach, close to the National Park, and short easy drives to nearby communities. A very attentive host who was easy to communicate with and is keen to share information about his beautiful part of the province. We could not have been happier with our week at this property.

The views are amazing. Very private and has everything that you need. Definitely recommend it !

Absolutely stunning location on mountain overlooking the Gulf of St Lawrence with amazing sunset views. Chimney corner beach is one of the most perfect beaches in NS and a short 2 min drive from the property. The property has a cool ‘cottage’ aesthetic and is very clean and modern as pictures depict. Would stay there again.

It's hard to believe, but the view was even more magical than described in the listing. Our first night we opened a bottle of local wine and watched the sunset on the ocean. The cottage is modern and well designed and comes with everything you need. A perfect get away spot!

We had an amazing vacation! Property is beautifully appointed. Views second to none! There is everything you can imagine in the cottage, garlic press, grater, corkscrew! Minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches ion the Island, 30 minutes to Cheticamp and a Inverness which boast great dining options. The cottage gives you an incredible sense of privacy, you feel very secluded. The design of the cottage is warm and inviting. We would highly recommend and would certainly return! Thanks so much Stewart and Belle!

This place is located on the side of a mountain, well maybe not a mountain but I am from Florida, so mountain. It has a beautiful view of the ocean with wonderful sunsets. Our host, Steward, couldn't have been more helpful. He spent 2-hours with us to discuss areas we should visit and avoid. I would suggest you have questions ready. He checked with us throughout the week to make sure everything was going well and that we enjoyed our stay. The place is super clean, quiet, and comfortable. Only downside would be the bed is more like sleeping on a futon but overall comfortable. It was a long trip from Florida but was so nice to get away and this place just made relaxing so much better.

Perfect

Let me start by saying that immediately following a facebook post highlighting our week-long stay in Chimney Corner, I had dozens of friends ask for the link to stay at Cape Cottage. The pictures don't lie. If you've never been to Cape Breton Island, put it on your bucket list, While the entire west coast of the island is absolutely stunning and definitely worth exploring, Chimney Corner's beach, just a 2 min. drive away from Cape Cottage, wins the prize. Literally, the warmest and clearest waters north of the Carolina's with powdery sand. Who knew? Don't waste your time searching for other properties. This is the one.

It was our first trip to Cape Breton and we had a wonderful time . The cabin was as lovely as the pictures and the view was simply amazing . Our host Stewart was wonderful To work with and went above and beyond to explain the area and things to do . That was especially helpful to us with it being our first time visiting . The beaches were sandy and ocean was beautiful, clean , shallow and warm much like the Caribbean ! Being from Alberta we do boast the mountains although our ride along Cabot Trail and through the National Park was amazing . We enjoyed many of the beaches and scenery in the area, there is a wonderful beach just 4 minutes from the cabin . We enjoyed our days touring around the little towns and beaches and equally enjoyed our time in the cabin. It had all the amenities for cooking and the atmosphere was beautiful The restaurants were very good, seafood and chowder galore can’t go wrong , also had some delicious Alberta Beef!! Be sure to experience the Dancing Goat restaurant , best blueberry pancakes I’ve had to date ! You can’t go wrong visiting Chimney Corner , there is lots to do and the people are certainly warm and friendly!! Thx Stewart , Hugh and I really enjoyed our week and will be sure to come back !!! Cheri & Hugh

First, Steward's indications to find the place where accurate and very helpfull. Then he took the time to come see us in the morning after our late arrival to share his good tips and advices to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We love the house and the view. We hope to visit again.

If you want to visit the western coast of Cape Breton, this Cottage is the perfect place to stay. It is centrally located, peacefull and overlooking the ocean. The full-equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. The owner was better than a tour guide! His generous advice allowed us to discover gems that we would have overlooked otherwise. Many thanks Stewart.

Great stay in Cape Breton at a wonderful cottage. Stewart was a great host and gave great insight as how to to spend the week in Cape Breton. His suggestions were spot on. Cottage was perfect for my family and had everything that we needed for a wonderful week. The best beach on the island is only minutes away from your driveway. Could not have asked for a better place to spend the week in Cape Breton.

Cape cottage had everything we needed. It is not only a perfect location to explore the Margaree and Cape Breton areas, but it was rather difficult to leave each day as the cottage setting alone is breathtaking. The cottage is stocked with all the essentials and is very comfortable. Upon check in, Stewart spent some time with us to make sure we were set up and had a good idea of what the Margaree area had to offer. Based on his advice we explored much of what the immediate region had to offer and were incredibly happy with what we found. We can’t wait to come back again. Thanks for everything Stewart and Belle.

The cabin was clean and very tastefully decorated and furnished. We enjoyed every second there. Evenings graced us with beautiful and magnificent sunsets over the ocean. It is a very peaceful and quiet place in the forest. Deers were frequent guests there and little patience was rewarded with spotting whales in the ocean and eagles on a rocky outcrop above the water. If somebody enjoys hiking, The Cape Breton Highlands National Park is short drive north along the picturesque road of Cabot Trial which coils breathtakingly between the mountains and the sea. There are also many places worth seeing around Margaree Valley (like Egypt Falls). Our host, Stewart, told us about many attractions and incredible places to eat we would totally miss otherwise (so do yourself a favor and check them out). And last but not least: if you want to bring a piece of this corner of Nova Scotia home, visit Cape Breton Clay (Bell Fraser's unique and wonderful pottery) and see for yourself how miracles are made. On more prosaic side: if you follow Stewart's instructions finding the cabin is easy, but try to be there before dark. Checking in and out was a breeze. Our host helped us accommodate there the very next morning and told us everything we would need to know to enjoy our vacation there.

I loved everything about “my” cottage (which felt like home as soon as I walked in). The spectacular views, the effortless style, the high ceilings, the cozy stove — and did I mention the views? Stewart was endlessly helpful and gave thoughtful recommendations. Thank you for a wonderful stay: I already long to come back!

We had very high expectations for our stay from the beautiful pictures and our expectations were meet in every way. My family thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunset every night from the deck. The cottage itself was charmingly decorated and the kitchen was well stocked, which we appreciated . The cottage is a great home base to explore the island. Stewart is a kind and gracious host. He takes the time to sit down with his guests and go over his top recommendations for the island. He is attentive and thoughtful about his guests needs, while also affording them privacy and space. You won't regret a stay here.

Great property, exactly like pictures. Stewart was very helpful in getting us oriented to the property and area. This property is isolated at the top of the hill. If you are looking to be closer to the road/beach I think he has other options. For us, this was nice and secluded - surrounded be trees and water views.

A memorable stay in a location both peaceful and dramatic. Just lovely, a great place to base your drive on the Cabot Trail or write that novel you've been meaning to get to. The only thing I would change is the separation between the bedrooms: right now the walls don't come all the way to the roof, so you have visual privacy only.

This was our second time staying at Cape Cottage and we loved it even more on our second visit. The views of the ocean are so beautiful and the sunsets so dramatic that we found ourselves scurrying back from each day’s adventure to make sure that we were on the deck to watch the sunset, which never disappoints. The cottage’s setting is private and quiet, so peaceful, that it made us feel it was just us, the ocean, and the stars. The cottage was very clean and had comfortable furnishings and bed. We also loved the style of the cottage’s interior, with white-washed wooden walls, very high ceilings, and huge windows, which demanded that you constantly look out at the ocean and trees. Everything one would need to spend a delightful week was included. Stewart met with us and gave us great tips on restaurants, hiking trails, and many other interesting things to see and do. He is very responsive in answering all questions, whether about the Cottage or about Cape Breton in general. We loved our stay at the Cape Cottage.

Wonderful cottage in the most perfect location. Nothing could have been better!

This was our second year to spend a week in beautiful Chimney Corners. The cottage is picture perfect, wonderfully equipped, and well managed by the Applegath family. We could not have asked for a better week's vacation and look forward to returning next year.

This experience was quite amazing for us. Imagine being the first family to initiate a newly built cottage. When we walked through the doors, we honestly wanted to pinch ourselves. The views and the sunset’s from the cottage are spectacular, and we are not exaggerating! What you see in the photographs is what you get. The property overlooks Chimney Corner and its cove: cliffs, forests, bald eagles, and the sea with pilot whales and the occasional boat. Being a brand new cottage, it is obviously very clean, but we were most taken by the architecture, openness of the space and quality of light that filled the rooms. The kitchen makes it very convenient to enjoy meals “at home” which we made several times. There is even a grill outside on the back deck to enjoy as the sun is setting. The beds are comfortable and the heated floors in the bathroom are an unexpected luxury. Stewart and Belle have an incredible attention to detail and had made every effort to make us feel comfortable and at home. Stewart is also a great host and sat down with us on one of the first evenings, providing numerous suggestions for places to hike, eat, shop and to see. We encourage you to take advantage of his recommendations as all the ones we tried were spot on. We highly recommend anyone to embrace the tranquility, beauty and solitude of this cottage and very special place. We had an awesome time!
