The staff is great to work wIth and very friendly, and the view from the front porch is incredibly relaxing. Overall, a great place to stay in Cheticamp--I would definitely come back on a return visit.

We stayed here just one night. We reserved one of the regular chalets but when we got there we…read morewere upgraded to the delux one with the whirlpool tub... Can't beat that!! This place is as scenic as it gets... right on the water, excellent views. The chalet was extremely clean and the staff was very friendly. Whenever we plan our next trip to Cape Breton, we would definitely consider staying here again.

Our group of ten family members stayed here recently and were sadly disappointed. The…read moreaccommodations are not actually a lodge, but rather a hotel. The views were fantastic and our room was comfortable but certainly not a lodge experience as advertised. Our dinner in the restaurant was a disaster from the beginning. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation so expected a slight delay in service. That delay eventually became on hour before the last person in our party was served a drink. The only wines available from the wine list were much more expensive than those unavailable. The vast majority of the beer selection was also unavailable. This was communicated to us after a thirty minute wait after ordering. The wait for food after ordering was two hours or more. When it did arrive it was cold and obviously had been sitting for quite some time. The staff don't appear to work together, while waiting for our meals, some servers were setting their tables for breakfast. We were told there was no manager available to speak to us but eventually someone came and comped some of the items. Breakfast was great the next morning with lots of options. Bottom line is don't expect a lodge and eat dinner somewhere else

My only regret was the quality of the bedroom at the lodge itself. Before making your reservation make sure that you have a room with a view. You are surrounded by the majesty of Cape Breton so it is hard to look out your window only to see a wooden staircase.

My partner rented one for us for our anniversary, and I was expecting to rough it for the weekend. Oh nooooo.... not at all! Beautiful grounds, too if the line bbq equipment, everything but a stove! This place is luxury for its price point. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Even offered to give a chunk of butter because we forgot to grab some for the corn! Also, there is a great restaurant across the way, and the liquor store next door. There is no fire pit, and this isn't exactly rustic. This is very much for people who love the outdoors, but also clean bathrooms. The room was so clean! Soooooo clean! Soooooooooooooo clean! Call me paranoid, but this is a thing for me. All in all, this place is worth every dollar! A lovely way to stay-cation. Between hiking, drinking, and just enjoying the scenery a sketch pad and some charcoal - this place will provide lovely memories for a lifetime!

What a great place to stop! We stayed at Skyline Cabins while making our way around the trail. The…read morecabin was extremely clean, and well situated just past Cape Smokey in Ingonish. The couple that look after the cabins are friendly and down to earth. They made us feel very safe as this cabin is located very close to the highlands. Beautiful convenient location but don't sit out at night in the back as this area has bears and coyotes. No complaints!

We didn't arrive for our one night stay until the evening so we didn't get to enjoy the area but…read morethe view from our cottage/room was spectacular. Every unit faces the Ingonish Harbour and what a treat it was to watch the sunset and, subsequently, the sunrise the next morning. There's also a deck behind the unit with a bench and table and chairs. Parking is in front of each unit. Upon entering the room there's a small kitchen storage cabinet with a microwave, coffee maker, kettle, a couple sets of crockery, and a small table and chairs. On the other side of the room there's a mini fridge. The bathroom had its own heater but it didn't work and the bathmat did not stick to the bathtub. Be careful of slipping while showering.

I would have stayed longer if there were more days available. There is a mini fridge, coffee machine, kettle and blow dryer. Linens and towels provided.

These are large chalet-type, well-spaced buildings with both upstairs and downstairs units. All of the upstairs units have an ocean view! We had four different units between the group, two up and two down. All were spacious and had small kitchens with every implement for cooking a meal for four. Staff was great and I would stay here again in a flash!

There are certainly better motels out there than this one, but when it is the only thing in the…read morearea, it will just have to do. The rooms were clean, and it is drive up service to your rooms. The amenities are relatively short-listed, with cable/satellite television ranking up there at number one on the list. No wi-fi service. There is a small general store down the road a bit, but the stockings are somewhat limited. There is also a restaurant in the same area. There is no continental breakfast in the morning, so when it comes to food you are definitely fending for yourself. However, it should be noted that this place is located in a very remote area, and there really isn't much else out there. While we were there, the only other occupants appeared to be road workers that were probably staying on a weekly rate while they were performing road work on the Cabot Trail. I gave it two stars because, while the amenities are basically non-existent, and once you are in your room that is about it for the night, the room was clean and sufficient. Just don't expect any luxuries. Room amenities: - Cable/Satellite television

Luckily we were able to find a last minute room here on a Sat night. I had some hesitation because…read moresome of the reviews weren't great but we found the place to perfectly fit our needs. The price was very reasonable, the room was large, clean, and very comfortable ; also within walking distance to 2 of the most popular places in Cheticamp. They had very nice embroidered towels, a frig, microwave, tv with cable that worked and great wifi. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The room had a little balcony to sit outside on and enjoy the fresh air. The Patton had a screen door as well. I worked recommend this place if you want something reasonably priced, comfortable and clean.

We were traveling for 6 weeks staying in at least 12 different places) and this was literally the ONLY place we stayed where the checkout was before 11am. Getting ready to pack, I saw a guy getting ready to clean another room & asked if checkout was at 11. He called back something like "sounds good" About 10 min later a woman knocked on our door & not very nicely, told us check out was at 10 & we owed $20 for the late checkout. We went up to the office & spoke with the owner. Customer service did not seem to be his priority as he would go back & forth between being snarky & not. In the end, we were not charged the $20, but the experience left a very sour taste in our mouths.

The owner actually had two pages of boxes to check making sure there was no damage to any of the rooms or what was in the room. He actually had a box that said, please do not use the towels to clean your vehicles. He also would not allow one of the people I was staying with to park his trailer behind the motel because there wasn't enough room..... which was not true! The trailer is a single motorcycle carrier! Long story short, if you can find somewhere else to stay in the highlands, stay there.
