Fieldstone Garden Guest Cottage
Overview
Field Stone Garden Cottage is located on our 70-acre property in Indian Brook on the world-famous Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island. This 2-story cottage is attached to the owner’s home and has a private screened-in porch entrance. There is a large bedroom upstairs with a queen-size bed, closet, dresser, books, games and views of the gardens. Downstairs is a kitchen, dining/sitting room area and 3-piece bathroom with a shower. Outside we have gardens, a barbecue, and the occasional moose wandering through the property.
We are adjacent to the highlands wilderness area, and the property is ideal for hiking, listening to bird song, stargazing, backcountry skiing, and snowshoeing. A 10-minute walk takes you to a cobbled beach on St. Ann’s Bay.
Within 50 kilometres of our property you will reach the entrance to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park in Ingonish, the Gaelic College in St. Ann’s, and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Baddeck, as well as sailing tours, on-shore ocean fishing, bird- & whale-watching tours, kayak tours, archery lessons, two of Cape Breton’s “Fab Five” golf courses, and more.
We are on site and happy to help you get the most out of your visit to our island.
We accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, and e-transfer.
