A cozy cottage by the water - very quiet - close to Cabot Trail and Sydney NS - cottage equipped with everything imaginable! Very very clean - it would/could be called a “hidden gem”- comfortable bed and absolutely best bathroom ever! Will definitely stay here again if available!!
We totally enjoyed our stay at Veronica’s Place The scenery is breathtaking, well stocked, and very clean. Would recommend to anyone. Aileen was a wonderful host, very accommodating. Will definitely stay there again 😀👍

Awesome place with great views. Cottage is set up for anyone who may have forgot anything. Well stocked and very clean. We had a great time touring the area and visiting local attractions. Definitely recommend it and will keep it in our list for a return trip down the road.
It is a beautiful place it had everything you could possibly need to have a relaxing stay. The host is friendly and knows alot about the area. Check out Darby kitchen the ladies are so sweet.
Lovely cottage with an amazing view. The host thought of everything including a well stocked pantry in case you don’t get groceries before you arrive. We really enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend it to our family and friends.

The cabin was beautiful with every possible amenity. The owner was available but provided lots of privacy. The local view is beautiful and quiet. The roads to the cabin are a little rough.
We had a fantastic week - Aileen was a great host - her thoughtfulness, hospitality and attention to detail were clear from the moment we arrived! The cottage had everything we needed and the view of the lake was beautiful!! The area is great for biking, kayaking, hiking and touring but also a great place to relax - we will definitely be back! Thanks Aileen
My husband and I enjoyed two wonderful weeks at Veronica’s Place. The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped with all the comforts of home. Aileen was so kind to start us off with a bowl of fruit, eggs, milk and many other grocery items on our arrival. She was also very helpful with suggestions of places to visit during our stay. The cottage is centrally located so we were able to easily do day trips. It is such a nice place to come back to and relax at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

The location along the Bras d'Or Lakes is amazing. The cottage is adorable and immaculate. Lots of local wildlife; geese, beaver, and King Fishers greeted me on my first night. The owner is lovely, and very accommodating. I can't wait to return. A definite 10 out of 10!!
I really enjoyed my stay, I wished it was longer. Such a wonderful host! Thoughtful, respectful and so kind. Everything i needed was there. It was incredibly comfortable, the bed is like a hug :) Thank you for a wonderful first experience!
Cottage was better than advertised- clean, well equipped and beautifully decorated. It was almost like being at home, except that it was in beautiful Cape Breton.
Woke up every morning to a view of the beautiful Bras d’Or. Within reasonable reach of most areas on Cape Breton.
The view from the house is exceptional. It's a stand-alone house with a front porch overlooking the water. It's away from the hustle and bustle of tourism which brought peace, calm, and tranquility after a day immersed in the sights and sounds of Cape Breton, the Cabot Trail, and the National Park. Our host Aileen was an added bonus. She is a joy to interact with and helped make our stay more pleasant.
While a little further away than originally thought, this precious cottage makes up in charm and comfort. We had noted previous reviews that we ought to do groceries ahead of arrival, so came prepared. However, owner had seen to supply more than i could have imagined. She is such a caring soul... we enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage.
Great central location for seeing everything we wanted to see on Cape Breton. The best stocked kitchen of all the places we have stayed. Very clean, beautiful view, quiet and peaceful.
Veronica's place was extremely clean and well appointed. Very cute little cottage with all of the amenities including beautiful views of the lake. Our host was extremely welcoming and our only wish is that we could have stayed longer!
Aileen is a wonderful host and has thought of everything to make your stay amazing! The cottage is very clean and has all the amenities you could want and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Veronica's! Thank you, Aileen!!
