About this property
Cozy cottage w/sunset views + quick walk to a private beach (dog friendly!)
Welcome to Sunset Lane Cottage. This cozy space is the perfect Cape Breton Island retreat! We are on a beautiful half acre private property with boho-cottage beach decor. Are you into stunning nightly sunsets, private beach walks, relaxation around the fire pit, and delicious baked goods? We've got you covered! We are located off of the beautiful Cabot Trail for your convenience. If you are an ocean lover, you can either walk 3-5 minutes down a private path to your own beach, or drive 2 minutes up the road to Le Buttereau, which features stunning Highland Park views as you picnic, swim, play, stand-up-paddle or kayak in your salt + fresh water haven. Sunset Lane Cottage is located 0.5kms to Aucoin's Bakery, 3.9kms to the Highlands National Park, 2.9 kms to the Gypsum Mines, 2.5kms to Cheticamp, local restaurants, and Le Portage golf course, and 12 kms to the Skyline Trail. If this location is booked for your dates, feel free to check out our sister property, Highland Haven Cottage: https://www.vrbo.com/en-ca/cottage-rental/p20107391

About the host
Hosted by Angela Chiasson-Murphy
Hello/Bonjour!
We are the Chiasson's: Amelia, Angela, Carrie, Greg and Camille. We are proudly Acadian and we are from the Cheticamp area. We purchased Sunset Lane Cottage as our home away from home, as, all 3 "children" live in different parts of the world. Amelia and Camille (mom and dad) live a hop, skip and a jump from this property. We are eager to share our cozy sunset haven with others who visit this beautiful area. Thank you for being here :).
