AVOID. False Advertising. No AC. No Privacy.
The hosts are unfortunately just there to extract maximum rents without any effort. If you enjoy paying $8000 for a week, to stare into the windows of the adjacent properties. With no working AC, and uncomfortable beds, advertised as luxury. Go ahead and book. If you are a person who's stayed at a hotel, best stay there. *Avoid* Avoid Avoid. And good luck getting your money back, ghosted.

Downtime in busy trip
We spent 3 nights here and loved every minute. In the middle of a busy road trip, it was the perfect break. Clean, ocean views, hot tub and beach access. It absolutely was well represented by the listing. Hoping we will be able to come back!

The best
We had an incredible stay at this high-end property with fantastic finishings, a really well-equipped kitchen, and an amazing beach on our doorstep. Highlights were the incredible ocean view, which was particularly breathtaking at sunset, the wood-fire heated hot tub, and the outdoor shower with both privacy and a view. Marco and Scott were both incredible hosts and made our stay even better. We had plans to get out and visit nearby towns and the National Park which was really close by, but scaled these back for the pleasure of staying at this property. Big thanks for making our stay in Cape Breton the highlight of our trip to Nova Scotia.

Vacation Perfection
Ridge on the Chimney offers a magical balance of nature and luxury, adventure and relaxation, modern convenience and seclusion. We loved exploring the beautiful island- kayaking, whale watching and hiking, but were thrilled to return to the retreat of this upscale cabin. It was an ideal spot for a family vacation with our children aged 6-12, given the large outdoor spaces and direct access to Chimney Corner Beach. But the spectacular views from the private hot tub and outdoor shower, along with excellent local cuisine, no doubt would also make for the perfect romantic getaway. The personal attention from our hosts, on this occasion Scott and May, was remarkable. From preheating our hot tub prior to our arrival, to including special treats with our family in mind, we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Their thoughtfulness was notable throughout our stay with excellent, though never invasive, communication. Their love of Cape Breton was evident in the meticulous care they have invested in this vacation property, and was indeed infectious, as we can’t wait to return
