The friendly and very personable owner met us at checkin and showed us everything we needed to know to stay in an RV. Immaculately clean, cozy, comfortable and just the right size for two. Kitchen utensils fully stocked- just bring food. Provides onsite internet included as well as an information booklet with all the local shops, restaurants, and things to do.

WOW... we've been traveling from Ontario to Newfoundland and have stayed in a few places, but honestly can say this was our favorite! Beautiful hidden gem! Rick and Pat are absolutely amazing and made us feel so welcome. Beautiful property...we walked down to the dock and spent every afternoon/ evening on the deck taking in the beauty surrounding us. Our only regret...we couldn't stay longer. Trust us, you will not be disappointed . Hopefully we'll find ourselves back this way one day! Safe Travels Everyone! ❤️

Lovely location

We would highly recommend this place for an overnight visit or an extended stay and we would definitely like to visit them again. Thank you for a wonderful holiday away from the hustle and bustle of life. We had a wonderful relaxing stay to celebrate our anniversary.

100% home away from home! The pictures are absolutely: what you see is what you get... and more. Everything was perfectly clean and nothing was missing in the kitchen or elsewhere. The tulips and daffodils on the outside table made us Dutchies feel most welcome. It is perfect to visit Cape Breton because of its central location. Rick gave some good suggestions for our visits in the region. The Highlands NP/Cabot trail are nearby. And Pat baked some great muffins. No matter the weather, it's an excellent place to be.

What a gorgeous place to stay. The accommodation is spacious and private. Surrounded by trees, the view from the deck is wonderful. The trailer is very well equipped with everything you would need for a week-long stay. The place is spotless and there are some lovely, personal touches which shows that the hosts sincerely want their guests to enjoy their stay. Rick and Pat are lovely, accommodating, and flexible. This is our second stay here and I'm sure it won't be our last.

Hillview Experience

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Hillview Retreat. The accommodations were perfect for the two of us. Our hosts made sure that we had everything that we needed. It was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view. There was even a vase of fresh flowers waiting for us upon our arrival! The setting was quiet and peaceful and convenient for our Cabot Trail tour.

Perfect home away from home

My hubby and I used the Hillview Retreat as a base to explore Cape Breton Island and it was a great place to do that from and to come back to at the end of each day. The trailer is extremely comfortable and roomy. The owners, Pat and Rick, were welcoming and friendly, and we enjoyed meeting them and their doggies and spending a bit of time with them. The trailer was very clean, the kitchen was well appointed, and there were a lot of welcome touches like soap and shampoo, plenty of towels, dvd movies to watch, so many things! It was also great having a washer and dryer in the trailer. We can’t say enough good things about Hillview Retreat. We would highly recommend it to others and would definitely rebook should we find ourselves on Cape Breton again.

We have been hosts ourselves for over ten years and were so impressed with the hosts and this accommodation. Communication and directions were great. We had absolutely no problem finding the place. The hosts were very responsive and attentive...they are the best hosts we've ever met! The trailer is fully equipped and squeaky clean. The location is so quiet and picturesque. Before leaving, we booked the same dates for next year. We would highly recommend this property for anyone exploring the Baddeck/Whycocomah area of Cape Breton.
