About this property

New Log Home with Gorgeous Ocean View in Historic Acadian Village

  • L'Ardoise and surrounding villages have wild berries for the enthusiastic picker - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, dewberries - even cranberries and foxberries. Free clam digging is available within fourteen miles, and copious oysters on a tide beach within five miles. Concerts and Ceilidhs are available in many locations throughout Cape Breton, some featuring the unique brand of Cape Breton fiddle music. Fortress Louisbourg is a world class historic re-enactment of a French Acadian fortress town. The beach in L'Ardoise, in the hamlet of Point Michaud, six miles from us, is 1.5 miles long, advertised as world class in quality. Fishing from shore for mackerel is available in the 300 meter canal connecting the Atlantic with the Bras d'Or Lakes, about 7 miles from our house. wild speckled (brook) trout live in every stream and pond. We have a 120 degree view of the Atlantic and the harbour.

    In the front yard there is a badminton net, quite likely on the ground. Stakes are available with the net, if it needs to be erected, and equipment is in the ping pong room.

Return stay

L'Ardoise is a beautiful seaside community. We stayed in this house 5 years ago and enjoyed it very much. Last month we returned for a second time to enjoy the privacy, quiet and the amazing views from the deck and the upstairs windows. The house is spacious, well equipped and very easy to find. The property manager is friendly, nearby and easy to reach. We enjoyed our return stay.

A slice of Acadia!

This home is more of a pan-abode style house than a log house and very rustic inside. The rooms are large and perfect for an active family. The location is a little distant from the usual attractions of Cape Breton Island. It's a good idea to ask to have the house aired for 2 days before you arrive.

The place was clean but the water issue was a very big problem no running water working we had to have jugs of water for cooking drinking and to put in the toilets to be able to flush them. This was very inconvenient because we were all seniors and to lift these big jugs of water yes and we booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1 because of the water

Amazing ocean view

We stayed over the Christmas holidays. The house is great with lots of beds for a group. The view of the ocean from the upper floor is amazing! Obviously it was winter when we were there so all we could do was look at the ocean. I’d love to stay here again in the summer and take advantage of the beach and ocean.

One of the negative aspects was the grass was not cut so to get from our vehicle to the house we were walking in tall grass, plus the windows on the bottom level did not lock.
