Cabin was very clear, had everything we needed and more. We loved the atmosphere of the location. We used the private path to the beach to enjoy the sunrise every morning of our stay. The location was close to everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Nice rustic chalet, clean and good private beach access to a semi private beach. Could use some minor maintenance in our unit. Area is very quiet.
The property was very clean. Easy to find and pet friendly. I had a wonderful two night stay. Highly recommend these chalets.

Cabin near the Cabot Trail
This place was, in a word, okay. Not great, not awful. We stayed in a 1-bedroom cabin. The furnishings were tired and outdated but clean. The location was good - close to the Cabot Trail. Would I stay there again? Probably not.

We had a good time here. The rooms were clean and warm, the kitchen was fully equipped, and the location was very good. It was suitable for our two families of four people to stay. We will choose Ingonish Chalets again.
