Overview
Three cottages that sit atop a gently sloping hill, with a breathtaking sunset view over East Lake Ainslie. Perfect for families and groups, or even a quiet get-a-way for two, after a great day of hiking in the mountains. As an alternative route to the Cabot Trail, the winding Highway 395 lies alongside the lake, offering stunning views of both the water and the mountains.
Situated only 20 minutes from Inverness, the Atlantic Ocean and the famous Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs golf courses, this property is the perfect location! Directly behind the property is the Trans-Canada Trail system, where you can enjoy hiking or ATV’ing to your heart’s content. To the east, only 15 minutes away, is the community of Whycocomaugh, which is on the Bras d’Or Lakes. It has groceries, lots of amenities and of course a Timmie’s!
