Snowmobiler’s Paradise at Highland Haven – Steps from the Trail!

Welcome to Highland Haven, your cozy mountain getaway at the base of the Cape Breton Highlands! Located on a quiet road that leads directly to the snowmobile trail system, you can ride straight from the property and connect to miles of groomed routes throughout the Highlands National Park.

This comfortable retreat sits on a quarter-acre property surrounded by breathtaking scenery and is less than a 5-minute drive to the park entrance, the Gypsum Mine Trail, Aucoin’s Bakery, and all the charm of Cheticamp. After a day on the trails, unwind in the warmth of this peaceful haven.

Plenty of parking for trucks and trailers, easy access to the Cabot Trail, and a DOG FRIENDLY policy make Highland Haven ideal for snowmobile adventures, winter escapes, and year-round exploration.

This little home was perfect for us. Nice and clean, quiet and well-equipped with everything we needed. The hosts made themselves accessible and suggested some really good ideas for eating and site-seeing. Very close to Cabot trail and some wonderful hiking. Highly recommend. 👍
