Beautiful property and central to towns..
Enjoyed our family vacation and may do it again another summer.
Thankyou for allowing myself and family..
Everyone enjoyed the 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.

A nice property and great host. On short notice his well ran out of water. But he was kind enough to let us stay anyway. He gave a discount and paid for water we needed to buy .
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
We enjoyed our stay and found plenty to do in the area. There was lots of room for 2 couples. Point Michaud beach was gorgeous. The property manager responded promptly to our inquiries.
Very spacious and suited us well. Loved the inside wood. Beauty view bonus!

Great spot!
We had a wonderful weekend! Lots of space..lots of things to do.. Check in was super easy and owner was accommodating to our early check in request. Lovely area. Would book again!
This is the second time we have stayed here with different family members. We are close to our family in L'Ardoise. The house is clean and has everything we need and we were so pleased with everything. We are planning our next trip with other family hopefully again next year.
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.
Jonathan was absolutely amazing at communicating with us and Sara was incredible too. The cabin and its location exceeded our expectations. It was peaceful, the view was out of this world, and the entire experience met all our creature comforts. It’s likely we will book again!
Our trip to L’Ardoise was amazing, the house was so clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The owner was excellent and very prompt to answer and kept in touch with us all through the process. The cleaner was excellent and met us upon arrival with the keys and checked to make sure we had everything we needed . I would recommend it to friends and anyone who is looking for a great place to stay 👍
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.
