Facility was fine for our needs for the night. It looks tired- needs a little updating. It would not be my choice for a few nights.

Clean and quiet, well stocked, unfortunately the seating area was insufficient and very uncomfortable. There needs to be deeper cleaning of wooden walls ie...dust, cobwebs. Everything else was clean. More dish cloths, towels needed.

A convenient location near Ingonish and Highland National Park. The chalets allow privacy as well as peace and quiet. They are older with soft mattresses but overall quite acceptable.

We enjoyed our stay. The only problem was that the heat pump would not work; so it was quite cold in the evenings.

We rented 2 chalets and were very happy with both. Each chalet provided a "living area" with TV, couch and chairs-very comfortable for card playing and hanging out with traveling friends. Location was terrific - a secluded, wooded area & only a 5 minute walk to waterfront. Couple of local groceries. Great get-a-way.

We had a fantastic stay. The showers are amazing, beds are comfy, and the staff are so nice and accomodating. This was exactly what I was looking for for a winter get away. The beach walk is stunning, along with all the beauty that is to be found around beautiful Ingonish. There is a great bakery down the road called Happiness is Homemade, the Freshmart down the road has everything you need, and Doucettes Market has an amazing little cafe inside with great food of you dont want to cook. We'll definitely be back again!

The chalet was very clean, ready before check-in time. I didn't realize it wasn't on the waterfront, but that's likely my error.

This cabin was very clean!! The private beach access was a great surprise. The beach is beautiful!! Our only complaint would be that the electrical outlets need to be updated. They did not hold our plugs in place very well. Made it difficult to charge our devices. Also there were no USB outlets. Overall a great place to stay with a family.
