We just finished construction on these contemporary 1 bedroom, 1 bath suites, 2021 is our first season. Each unit has a full kitchen with a dining bar, and a large 200 sq. ft. deck, offering spectacular views of the Bras d'Or Lake. Large sliding glass doors and oversized windows make these cozy suites bright and airy. Many of the furnishings were custom built in our woodshop. We are only a short walk to the popular Frolic and Folk Pub & Restaurant for great dining and live entertainment. Across from the Pub, visit the Highland Village, a Gaelic living history museum and cultural center. Sun and swim on one of the many beaches within a few minutes of Hector's Point. Centrally located on Cape Breton Island, there are many attractions close enough for a day trips, including Baddeck, The Fort of Louisburg, Eskasoni & Whycocogamah cultural Centers, Bird Island Boat Tours, & Sydney.

Cape Breton Paradise

We loved every minute of our week long stay at Hectors Point in Iona, Cape Breton. The cabin was immaculate, cosy, fully equipped with a deliciously comfortable bed and a spectacular view that comes complete with resident bald eagles who visit every day. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Fabulous experience and beautiful location!

The cottage was incredibly clean and exactly as pictured. It has so many modern conveniences - air conditioning/heat pump unit, WiFi, streaming TV - and a gorgeous setting overlooking Bras d’Or Lake from its spacious deck and huge windows. We grilled a few dinners and enjoyed self-made breakfasts before driving off to various sites along the Cabot Trail and nearby. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the gas grill was pristine. Janet was quick to answer questions via text, and check-in and check-out were simple. The nearby Gaelic Inn has a pub and also a small NSLC (beer, wine, liquor, snacks) for quick fill-ups. Most towns have a Foodmart or Co-op for basic groceries, if you haven’t stocked up at Sobey’s or Atlantic Superstore in North Sydney or Port Hawkesbury. We looked forward to dinners and sunsets here every evening, and watching (feeding!) the bald eagles most mornings. Definitely recommend staying here!

Cape Breton trip. Four nights.

the property and accommodations are very nice. great view of the lake. nearby pub has excellent food, is friendly, and has music on weekend nights. property is centrally located in CBI for going to tourist points. managers are helpful and responsive if needed. if your are going to different places in CBI this is a great place, but beware of fog coming back as the near lake area can get foggy. Roads around CBI are twisty and can be uneven and this needs to be factored into travel time. keep a 1/4 tank of gas to allow travel. overall, we would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Blackwell

Rob & I were looking for a final building project for our retirement. We bought this property in 2018 for the amazing views and for our affection of the quaint village of Iona. We were told that it used to be a look out for Hwy 223 but became overgrown. After clearing the land, we decided we wanted to share this beautiful spot and decided to build vacation suites. We just finished 2 units in December of 2020 and still have 2 more to complete (almost done). We live in the North-Central Gulf Coast during the winter, sail aboard our Shannon 38 when we can, and reside at Hector's Point from June to November.
