Cottage holiday rentals in Antigonish

Had a very peaceful stay in a lovely oceanfront cottage. Very clean and well appointed. Nice quiet neighbourhood in the country, well worth it.

Lovely home -- feel very lucky to have been able to stay here for a few nights because they often are fully booked over the summer. A large and beautiful home with a lovely sunroom + romantic pier a bit further downhill from the home, as well as so many different outdoor nooks. The hosts provide very clear instructions for things like kayaks, hot tub, and the inside fireplace. The hot tub definitely takes some time to get going (would recommend giving it 6-8 hours), but there was lots of kindling and logs to support us figuring it out. Would 100% recommend bring mosquito spray to make the outdoor experience more pleasant. Kitchen is bountiful with kitchen tools (pots, pans, knives, cutlery) to make cooking such a pleasant experience. If you kayak across the lake, there are also some hiking trails!!!

Kirk and Kelley were very welcoming and lovely. The cottage was easy to locate and had some stunning views of the mountains and the lake. Thank you for hosting us and would indeed return for another get away in the future.

My family and I had a great time at Amber’s place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, clean place to stay while visiting Inverness.

Beautiful location and beautiful cottage. Pristine condition and everything a person needs to settle in. We came prepared with our own items but they have provided many things. It is set up to have an experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Get some lobster and relax!

Lisa & Jared were fabulous hosts! Their place far exceeded our expectations. The cottage was clean and comfy. Had all of the creature comforts we could ask for. We spent a lot of time enjoying the deck while our dog ran the fenced in yard. Sunrises, sunsets, tides, beach walks and relaxing afternoons sitting on the amazing deck, what more could one ask for!! Thank you for your hospitality! It was a great week!!!!

We loved our stay, the place is special. We had deer come right into the yard and the fireflies, at night, in the back field, was an unexpected and fantastic experience! Thank you so much, we cant wait to come back!!

I would highly recommend. Kristy's place. It is very private with your own access to the lake. There is lots to do with canoes, lifesjackets, and washertoss games available. Or you can just relax on the back deck and enjoy the view.

We loved our stay! The beautiful beach is right there and a family of seals lay out on the rocks at low tides:). The home was cozy and well equipped with comfy couches inside and outside. Tamara was super helpful in many ways and even treated us to a bag of PEI mussels! We would definitely stay again!

This was our first trip to PEI and we were unfamiliar with the area. We had a lovely stay in the beautiful cottage and had everything we needed, except shampoo. :-) It was a little removed from restaurants, shopping and grocery stores but forced us to venture out and explore! The cottage was lovely, and the beds were so comfortable!

Janet's place was simply wonderful. If you are lucky enough to go there make sure you do the trail that leads you to the train line and all the way to the beach. Simply magical... Thank you Janet :-)

A lovely, modern home with a perfect lake view and access to the water! We really enjoyed the design of the home, with tons of windows (but don't stay here if the thought of things watching you from the woods freaks you out! But nothing is watching you...). The living/kitchen area is open and airy, with sliding patio doors that open toward the lake and a deck. Nice wood-burning fireplace. Very functional kitchen, easy to cook in. Well-separated bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms would make this great for a family (or just 2 people, as we were). Infloor heating is nice. Kayaks and other outdoor things available. No TV, but we were OK with that (and used our computer and the fast internet connection when we wanted to watch something). We had not been to Cape Breton before and liked this location - 10 minutes to Baddeck and about 1.5 hrs. to the south end of Cape Breton Highlands National Park (either west or east coast). Lots of hiking near-by, appreciated the host's ideas on that.

Beautiful house, lots of well-kept outdoor space. Hosts very responsive to questions. Would definitely stay again.

Jody’s place was perfect for a one night stay along our road trip. Very peaceful and quiet surroundings. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the trails on the property due to it being bug season but the quick walk to the brook at the back of the property was lovely (loved watching and listening to the resident raven family!) Jody was the most friendly and responsive host. Most Airbnbs have excessive cleaning rules but Jody really made us feel spoiled and helped us feel like we’re on a true vacation. Overall, a very clean rustic little cottage in a very quiet neighbourhood. Highly recommend as a stopover spot if travelling through the area.

Barbara’s cottage is pristine, relaxing, and beautiful. It is private, cozy, the perfect retreat. Barbara goes above and beyond with special touches around the cabin. I recommend the cottage to anyone looking for some peaceful tranquility!

This was our second visit to Sophie’s and we found everything as enjoyable the second time around. A lovely, quiet, clean spot with a beautiful view. Thank you for sharing!

This is a great place to stay. We were lucky to stay here for work last week and we’ve booked again for next week. We always stay in a nice place when we are away for work, but it’s rare you get a place that you can’t wait to go back to every night!!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Great spot, and easy access to the beach. Will come back here again.

Beautiful place!! Very calming and relaxing perfect for a getaway. Went above and beyond with all the little details

Beautiful place, and setting, the Nantucket of Canada!

Couple, 2 nights, June 2025 A great house, extremely bright, cheerful and spacious. Nice view over River John. Lovely deck and cayaks. We did not meet Tanya. Super store in Pictou. Don t miss the farmers market in Tatagamouche on Saturday mornings!

We had a fantastic time at the Doyle Beach House! Staying there was the perfect way for us to end our Nova Scotia trip as it offered a a great place to relax and as a base for us to explore Cape Breton Island and the Cabot Trail. The beach is at the bottom of the garden and was perfect for our children with calm shallows and soft sand but also with areas of stones for exploring. The location of the property is perfect for access to the beach at anytime of the day for walks and play and is also a short drive away from restaurants and grocery stores. The sunsets are amazing either from the deck or even from inside and watching over the water was a nightly routine. We couldn’t recommend this property and the hosts more and would love to return in the future.

Beautiful home that well suited our needs.

This beautiful home made our Father’s Day weekend fishing trip one of the best we have had to date. Our typical place was book so we decided to try a new spot, so glad we did, this will be forever our go to spot when staying in the area!
