About this property

Little House On The Meadows

Charming one bedroom house conveniently located 12 kms from Cape Breton’s largest city centre, Sydney. Beautifully renovated, this little house offers all the charm of a country cottage as it sits on a 40 acre property overlooking wide open fields.

This quiet setting offers the peace and relaxation for any getaway while being centrally located to all the attractions Cape Breton has to offer. Ideal for singles or a couple. Perfect location for golfers or skiers with a PGA golf course and Ski Hill less than 20 kms away. Ideally located for day trips to Louisbourg, the world renowned Cabot Trail, or local beaches and hiking trails.

The 500 square foot newly renovated home, plus unfinished basement, provides seclusion and privacy. Nestled on a 40 acre homestead, you will enjoy the tranquility of wide open fields and country gardens from your front door and the beauty of apple trees and wild flowers from your side door. From any window in the house you are likely to see deer and bunnies.

The 'Little House' offers a full kitchen with all the amenities to prepare everything from light snacks to full course meals. The open concept kitchen and living room provide for comfortable conversation.

Main floor washer and dryer is conveniently located in the bright and spacious 3 piece bathroom.

The bedroom offers a queen size bed (Sealy Posturepedic) with plenty of storage and backs on an area of natural woods and wild flowers.

A recently added wrap around deck provides for additional privacy. The space offers a BBQ and table and chairs.

A beautiful, cozy little house in the trees
Cathy is an amazing host and the house is delightful. Cathy's 'Welcome Sandi' on the table when I arrived was the first of many discoveries of little things that Cathy has done to make me glad I had chosen her little house when I was in the Sydney area. I was preparing my meals and spent a lot of time at the house working on a research project. When I needed something, it was never necessary to call Cathy because she had already thought of the possibility that I would and there it was in a drawer or cupboard. I particularly enjoyed her colourful and light hearted decor that provided a laugh as well as thoughts to ponder. Which brings me to the book shelf and Clive Doucet's great book that I started and will buy so I can finish. Cathy has provided so much information about the area that you can drive by the tourist centre when you come on the Island if you are in a hurry to get to the Little House on the Meadows. I can highly recommend that you let Cathy be your hostess!!

Charming quiet little house on acreage.
This charming little house is in the country with views of hay fields and flowers but still close to all the things we wanted to see and do in Cape Breton. Close and an easy drive to Sydney harbour. There is free parking in a waterfront parking lot by the big violin. We enjoyed a dinner at Governors overlooking the harbour. Is a 30 minute drive to Louisbourg and 40 minutes to Baddeck. We did the Cabot trail as a day trip from there as well. The house is extremely clean and nicely decorated. Comfy bed. Quiet at night but there is a gravel pit near by and they start loading trucks very early in the morning. Cathy was a great host who cares about her place and her guests. She provided lots of information about the area. Cathy and her family live in the big house next door. The bottle of wine for us upon arrival was a nice touch. I would recommend Cathy’s place to friends and family.

Perfectly Comfortable
We had a lovely stay at the Little House on the Meadows. It is in a great location for exploring Cape Breton Island - we were able to find hikes nearby and travel a little further to see historic sites and more hiking in Cape Breton Island National Park. The Little House was a comfortable place to return each evening with everything we needed for our stay.

This was a great place to stay and a good location to use as a base for our visit.
Clean and well organized property. There were plenty of linens and kitchen equipment for 2 people. We were very comfortable in this little cottage.

Great place to decompress, beautiful home.
Little House on the Meadow, from the moment you pull in the drive way, you feel welcomed. Cathy has done an amazing job with this little home, it is impeccably clean, the light color tones are very inviting and relaxing. The partially wrap around deck give you privacy and we made use of the bbq. Cathy is a very warm welcoming person and has the house pack with anything you thing you might of forgotten including reading glasses! She is a proud Cape Bretoner and it shows with maps, photograph books etc. If you choose "Little House on the Meadows" you will not be disappointed, as you sip on the complemenatry bottle of wine.
