Cozy cottage w/sunset views + quick walk to a private beach (dog friendly!)

Welcome to Sunset Lane Cottage. This cozy space is the perfect Cape Breton Island retreat! We are on a beautiful half acre private property with boho-cottage beach decor. Are you into stunning nightly sunsets, private beach walks, relaxation around the fire pit, and delicious baked goods? We've got you covered! We are located off of the beautiful Cabot Trail for your convenience. If you are an ocean lover, you can either walk 3-5 minutes down a private path to your own beach, or drive 2 minutes up the road to Le Buttereau, which features stunning Highland Park views as you picnic, swim, play, stand-up-paddle or kayak in your salt + fresh water haven. Sunset Lane Cottage is located 0.5kms to Aucoin's Bakery, 3.9kms to the Highlands National Park, 2.9 kms to the Gypsum Mines, 2.5kms to Cheticamp and local restaurants, and 12 kms to the Skyline Trail.

A Hooker’s Dream
We came to Cheticamp to see the rug hooking experts and we were very pleased. The people we met and the rugs that we saw were absolutely GREAT. We also had a great trip on the Cabot Trail! The house was perfect. Well appointed, lots of room and everything we could ever want. It was perfectly located - near everything that one could want in Cheticamp. We loved the bakery Au Coin and the restaurants in the area. A great vacation place! Thank you.

Great location
This was one of our favorite rentals when staying in numerous rentals across Nova Scotia and PEI. It it located on the edge of Cheticamp and the edge of Cape Brenton Highlands National Park. The house was clean and bright with lots of natural light. There is a walking path to the beach where the sunsets were beautiful. Cheticamp is a cute town with some shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the Doryman for the food and music, breakfast at Restaurant Evangeline and pizza from Wabo's Pizza.

Cozy cottage
Staying at this cottage was a delightful experience! Clean, comfortable, lots of natural light, and quiet - yet close to town. Plus it’s a short walk to the ocean where we saw some beautiful sunsets. We would stay here again.

Exploring Cape Breton
Great location, beautiful setting. Thoughtfully furnished and very clean home with everything we needed to enjoy our too-short stay. Perfect space for the 3 of us (the beds were the most comfortable of any rental ever!). We loved making the short walk to the beach for sunset each evening.

Lovely beachy cottage
We spent 4 nights here and absolutely loved it! The cottage is clean and bright and well stocked with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed the 3 minute walk to the beach to watch the sunset. It’s in a great spot to stay if you want to explore the Highlands national park and surrounding area. Definitely recommend!

Great stay
Our family of 4 loved our stay at this cute and cozy cottage. We appreciated the kitchen amenities (great coffee bar), games and the much needed laundry. We didn’t use the fire pit but enjoyed the back deck, BBQ and patio furniture. Walking to the beach was great, just be aware the bugs can be bad in the evening! Convenient location, be sure to check out the nearby bakery.
