The Best Place to Stay on your Cape Breton Highlands National Park adventure.
The Trailhead Guest Cottage is your gateway to the pristine Pollett’s Cove/Aspy Fault Wilderness Protected Area—one of Cape Breton’s most breathtaking landscapes. Peacefully situated at the head of the Pollett’s Cove, this unique retreat invites you to experience a world of rare, unspoiled natural beauty.
From the sweeping views of the mountains and ocean to the profound peace of the wilderness, this is a place to disconnect for a moment. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle at the end of a dirt road, this one bedroom, one bathroom cottage will allow you to enjoy a comfortable and quiet sleep in your private cottage, a garden-fresh breakfast delivered right to your door, a hot outdoor shower overlooking the ocean and mountains, breathtaking sunsets, an oceanside organic garden, and the peace and solitude (and stargazing) that comes with staying on the edge of Cape Breton Island’s northwest coast.
Whale tours, beaches, scenic lookouts, and a plethora of hiking trails are easily accessible from the guest cottage, making it the ultimate destination for couples focused on privacy and outdoor exploration.
