Best VRBO experience ever

The property was exactly the kind of property we love. Private, and in your own little paradise. The cabin was very comfortable, and every amenity was super high quality. It had everything you could need. The woodwork in the cabin is beautiful, and I believe Gus did most of it. The attention to detail, and the love that Gus and Gert put into this property gives their guests a beautiful welcome. They truly care. The property is absolutely beautiful. I would not go anywhere else, if you ever go to Cape Breton. 5 stars on every level. Kudos Gus and Gert! They are gems!

Views in all directions.

The property and cottage are just darlin. Just what I would expect from the folks of Cape Breton. They had a beautiful welcome basket waiting for us upon our arrival. We had a lovely walk to the Margaree river from their property. On the way there were chanterelle mushrooms and a lots of NS wild blueberries for the picking. The hosts are warm and welcoming. The weather was "meh" but you take your chances anywhere you go on holidays. Thank you for the lovely time in The Margaree.

Highly recommended

Our experience at Gus & Gert's cottage was memorable. They are warm, kind, welcoming and helpful hosts. The cabin is perfectly located, well equiped and quite spacious for a small family. We could not have wished for a better place to stay in Cape Breton!

Cape Breton Hospitality at its finest.

We were greeted by Gus and Gert on arrival. They are extremely welcoming and go out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The cabin has plenty of room but maintains a cozy atmosphere. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed to cook meals. The full size bbq appeared to be brand new and was great to have. Cannot say enough about the views. Been visiting the area since I was a child and have never seen views of the harbour and the river valley from the same location! Can’t wait to go back!
