Bungalow on the Lake

This bungalow has been in my family since 1963. When a Cape Bretoner says bungalow, we are referring to what the rest of the world knows as a cottage. If you are looking for a simple rustic place on the water where you can relax, this is for you. If you are looking for fancy, keep looking. The bungalow is an old building that has been added to many times, so the rooms are small. It is not much,but my family loved it, and I want to share it with others who will appreciate its simplicity. The space You have access to the whole property. Even though the bungalow is only 550 sq. ft there are plenty of places to sit and still have room to move around. There is a washer and dryer for your use and an air conditioner for the hot days and nights. The back deck has a BBQ and a table for outdoor meals, the best part is beautiful view of the lake. There is a fire pit area near the water with kindling and firewood ready to burn with chairs and benches. The lake is fresh water and is good for swimming. The beach has smooth pebbles, but there are muscle shells in the water that can be sharp, it would be wise to pack water shoes, especially for the young ones. If it rains, there are DVD movies to watch, books to read, games to play, and even some arts and craft supplies. A great place to get away as a family or to stay while enjoying all Cape Breton Island has to offer. FYI, if you are over 6'-2", you might find the 7'-1" ceilings a bit low, especially in the shower where the headroom is only 6'-4". The space between the bunk bed and the wall to access the bottom bunk is as narrow as it looks in the picture. Because of that, the ladder to access the top bunk is at the end. Guest access You can access the whole property except for the garage and the attic. You will be the only people on the property. Sadly, since August 14th, 2022, I have not been able to source liability insurance for allowing guests access to my kayaks and canoe. If you are experienced paddlers and are willing to sign a detailed waiver, we can arrange something. Other things to note If you want a Tim Horton's coffee in the morning, there is one only a short 5 minute drive away. If that is too far, there is a Keurig and a drip coffee maker available in the bungalow, and coffee and tea are supplied. There are several golf courses with-in a short driving distance, Seaview Golf, The Lakes, Lingan Golf, and several smaller 9 hole courses, to name a few. Just a short 1 km drive towards town, there is a hiking trail that takes you up Coxheath Hill to a panoramic view of Sydney and even North Sydney. Several kms the other way you will find Gillis' Lake Falls, just do an internet search for it to find the directions. There is a 22" W x 30" D x 22" H pet crate available that is suitable for a small or smallish medium-sized dog if you need one. Registration Details RYA-2023-24-03011013247367901-1921
