While staying at our cottages, enjoy the many nearby activities including fishing, canoeing, swimming, hiking and bird watching. Point Micheaud Beach, just 5 km (3 mi) away, is an exceptional 3-km (2-mi) sandy beach, backed by sand dunes and large cranberry bogs. Take a day trip up the coast to the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site 125 km (78 mi) away, which is a preserved and recreated French fortification of 250 years with impressive walls and majestic gates, homes, gardens and lively taverns and 18th-century cuisine.    
Our accommodations include 5 one-bedroom housekeeping cabins (Single, Double) with a sofa-bed, with a 3-piece (shower) or 4-piece bath. Laundry facilities are on site. Pets have to be requested in advance. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal are accepted.
