Family-friendly holiday rentals in Inverness

Fantastic place for our annual girls get away! 4 of us girls each had our own place to sleep. Amazing kitchen with everything you need. I loved the open concept with breathtaking views!! I could even keep an eye on my 70 year old Mom who was fishing off the dock while I was busy in the kitchen lol We will definitely be going back ♥️

Thank you for your kindness and your welcome. Paradise place.

Great little spot, easy to get access, and the hosts were fantastic!

Cabot shores was an amazing family trip. The beach and the views are incredible. The live music was so much fun. Would recommend to anyone

We had a wonderful stay! James is an excellent host - easy to communicate with and very helpful with anything we needed during our stay. His home is beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Just a short walk from the beach! Would definitely recommend.

This place was absolutely beautiful. We were fortunate the rain stayed away until late in the evening so we enjoyed the beautiful sunny day. Hit the town for a relaxing walk before retreating to the chalet for a nice bbq and drinks on the patio as we watched all the boats passing by on the water. The inside was immaculate and the hot tub was an amazing way to end the night. Our host was quick to respond to questions and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Was a great way to spend a 1 year anniversary 😊

This is a great place to relax! Extremely quiet, spectacular view and plenty of space for a family of 4 to 6 to spread out and chill. The private beach is a nice added touch and Baddeck is only a 2 minute drive, but I wouldn’t walk there, cars drive a little fast down that road and there’s no sidewalk. Tyler was a great host, explained everything perfectly, right down to recommending water shoes for the private beach ( which we had). There’s also a nice listing of local places and lots of brochures so you can find stuff to do. It was ~25 degrees when we stayed and it gets nice and cool at night so not having A/C isn’t a problem. There are so many windows that open in so many directions, you’ll catch a breeze.

Great place to stay closes to everything you need and great place for bunch of people to stay and close to the snowmobile trails

Lovely home, privately situated next to the sea. The views were spectacular. The home was very neat and clean and very well maintained. It wasn't too far from the town of Baddeck where we got provisions and visited very good restaurants. We loved our stay at this home. Richard did a good job as our host. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time in Cheticamp. John was helpful for suggestions about hiking and restaurants. I would highly recommend his beautiful place.

Best place to stay on the Cabot trail!

A lovely, modern home with a perfect lake view and access to the water! We really enjoyed the design of the home, with tons of windows (but don't stay here if the thought of things watching you from the woods freaks you out! But nothing is watching you...). The living/kitchen area is open and airy, with sliding patio doors that open toward the lake and a deck. Nice wood-burning fireplace. Very functional kitchen, easy to cook in. Well-separated bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms would make this great for a family (or just 2 people, as we were). Infloor heating is nice. Kayaks and other outdoor things available. No TV, but we were OK with that (and used our computer and the fast internet connection when we wanted to watch something). We had not been to Cape Breton before and liked this location - 10 minutes to Baddeck and about 1.5 hrs. to the south end of Cape Breton Highlands National Park (either west or east coast). Lots of hiking near-by, appreciated the host's ideas on that.

We really enjoyed our stay. Lots to do in the surrounding area and Ruth’s place was a great base for us. Had everything we needed. Would recommend

We stayed a couple nights mid November, the place is very private and quiet. You can hear the waves of the ocean. Unfortunately it was very rainy and foggy while we were there. The drive was difficult up to the park to and the fog made sightseeing difficult. We spent the days relaxing inside :)

We stayed a full week at Cedar Peak and really enjoyed our time. The cabin sits hillside on a private lot with incredible views. It was the perfect space to call “home” while we explored the island. The interior is just like the photos. Very thoughtfully designed with lots of conveniences - dimmable lights, lots of electrical outlets, extra pillows, ceiling fans, 3 Smart TVs, folding chairs for the deck, and even a welcome basket of snacks and some basic groceries waiting in the fridge. There was really nothing missing! We visited in late October so many restaurants and shops were closed for the season - just something to be aware of. There are grocery stores nearby, including a small one right across the road. About 3 minutes down the road was a cafe called Cafe Les Suetes - would highly recommend looking them up and stopping in - the best meal we had all vacation! Driving the Cabot Trail, visiting Inverness Beach, and hiking Skyline Trail are all must-do activities nearby.

Five stars plus. We’ve stayed at Airbnb’s elsewhere in Canada and in various places in Europe -but this place put the rest to shame. Our super host, Paula, has a keen sense of colour, an appreciation of comfortable furnishings arranged in an artful way and an excellent understanding of what to have on hand, in terms of cooking utensils and accessories, to fully make her house your home. The house, literally sets across the road from a quiet harbour, offers superb views from every window, and is close enough to several towns to fascilitate grocery plus wine/beer shopping. We had a truly delightful week and were sad to say goodbye. Joan and Phil

The setting and views from Celine’s place were OUTSTANDING. The cabin itself is comfortable and clean, nothing fancy, but very adequate. What makes this cabin special is the location.

Loved everything about the cabin - may need an update for hot plate in kitchen but barbecue worked great. Attention to every detail including farmers matches, little flash lights, & rechargeable night light. We had 2 fabulous campfires, did stargazing & even had a full moon. We also enjoyed several Celtic Colours Festival events!

Beautiful sunrises over the water. Loved being right on the Cabot Trail!

Overall the place was great, it was clean and the views from the living/kitchen area were fantastic. We were lucky enough to catch quite a sunset from the deck overlooking the ocean, it was nice.

We enjoyed our stay in Port Hood. Wish we had more time there to explore Cape Breton. Very easy to gaze out at the water and lose track of time.

Picturesque accommodations that were spacious, very clean and totally relaxing. Although it was “in the woods”; it was easy to find and had ample parking. Warm temperatures and sunny skies allowed us to take full advantage of its location - so near to Baddeck and The Cabot Trail. The owner lives on the property and was able to respond very quickly to requests.

It was the perfect home base for 4 days of touring Cape Breton. Perfectly located to drive the Cabot Trail in either direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) and we did both. Convenient, comfortable, and cozy for our family trip. Communication was superb, with John providing thorough info not only about the guest house, but also providing great insight into the area. Pat met us upon arrival and showed us around the guest house. Couldn't ask for better location or hosts. Thanks for a helping make a great family vacation for us!
