Overnight in Cheticamp
Quick one night stay at the beginning of the Cabot Trail! Property is right on the Cabot Trail Road and in front of the marina. Perfect for what we needed. Bit offended by the ‘tip’ jar. We paid a cleaning fee, a service fee and the overnight fee. Bathroom needs a bit of love - bathtub caulking was a bit ick and the extraction fan disgusting. But those things aside bed was comfy, had all the amenities needed and close to many food options! Appreciated the washer and dryer for sure!

Great get away on the Cabot Trail
The La Cale property was a great accommodation for us .. 2 senior couples. Easy access to the community of Cheticamp. Lots of information provided by the owners of activities, places to shop and eat
La Cale was quaint, comfortable and easy to locate.

Sleep by the sea
The apartment was perfect: beautifully decorated, fully equipped, comfortable beds, delicious coffee, and close to everything. The host shared several tips on places to eat and things to do. If traveling through the area again, I’d definitely stay with JS again.
Lovely cozy spot for our stop-over. Glad we found this place, comfortable, clean and close to coffee shop and dining options.

La Cale was a great stay! The house was sparkling clean and beautiful. Everything you could have needed was thought of. Extra towels, linens, coffee, tea, and kitchen items. Stephanie and Joleen had many great suggestions of places to visit and eat. 5 minutes from the Cape Breton National highlands park for full days of hiking and great views. Great communication answered messages quickly. Street is a bit noisy however being right on the marina is lovely.
This is a wonderful little gem on the waterfront of Chéticamp! Well-kept, well-furnished, and a very friendly and responsive host. Thank you for a great stay and for this beautiful space you've created and maintained.

Well stocked and well located
For 2 couples travelling together, the accommodation was excellent. We appreciated the well stocked cupboards and access to the Park and the community. The only problem I had was with communication through VRBO when I tried to ‘reply’ to messages. We would stay again.

The apartment is comfortable, well appointed and in a great location for exploring the Cheticamp and Western Cabot Trail areas.The supermarket is two minutes away for buying provisions and Cheticamp itself has great restaurants and coffee shops. We certainly enjoyed our stay.

Quaint fishing village
Enjoyed our stay in Cheticamp. Apartment was perfect for our family of four. Very clean and updated, nice view of the wharf. We wish we had book a few more nights
We stayed for one night with my family, the property is right off the main road (Cabot trail). There is some traffic noise but it did not bother us. The rooms and beds were comfy. Kitchen is stocked with basic supplies if you want to heat up/ make something. We only stayed one night and did not need to use the kitchen. There are a few restaurants nearby as well as a Coop where we picked up some essentials for our road trip.
There are laundry facilities with detergent provided. Bathroom was clean and had shampoo and conditioner, but was out of soap/ bodywash. It was not an issue for me as I was carrying some. One unusual thing in the bathroom was the window curtain did not go all the way down and only covered 3/4th of the window. Since this window faces the bay, it was weird to not have full privacy. We just hung up a towel over the window, so it was not a this major concern. A few hooks to hang towels/ clothes in the bathroom would also have be useful.
The zodiac whale watching cruise is located right next door and was super convenient as we had booked this excursion. Parking is available next to the property.
There is a short boardwalk next to the property, where you can stroll and watch the boats and the sunset.
Overall the location of the property is great and it is excellent value for your money for a few nights stay in Cheticamp. A few minor additions/ changes would enhance the experience.
