Some of what article had to say:

“six magical cottages... "

“SeaSky cottages offer more than just panoramic views,…coastal-chic interiors and the sea and sky that stretches for miles..”

“Stewart wanted each of the cottages to feel distinctly Maritime, inside and out....In every space are books, art and quirky accents.”

Bell grew up in nearby Margaree Valley, while I grew up in Toronto and have lived here full-time for 30 years. This cottage that has all of the charm of our original SeaSky cottage, but adds an extra (separate) bedroom.

The Cape Cottage was designed specifically for visitors' pleasure and needs. You will enjoy complete seclusion and incredible views in one of the most spectacular parts of Cape Breton. As day turns to evening in technicolor, relax, listen to music or catch up on things you don't have time for at home.

Chimney Corner beach is one of the finest on the island, and it's mostly unoccupied during the week– in addition to the fine beach and safe swimming for children, there are interesting rock formations to explore nearby. Cape Breton is a spectacular place, and you'll find the scenery on this stretch of coastline particularly striking.

There is a rich, strong culture here, historically and musically, and life unwinds at its own special pace. Although a three-day visit to the Island is not uncommon, it takes more time to really get a sense of the rhythms and charm of Cape Breton. Cape Breton summers are warm-to-hot in the day, but perfect in the evening, with lovely ocean breezes.

Born in the 50s
My work: photographs/ video
I moved here in 1997 with my Cape-Breton-born partner Bell, and I've been building cottages and hosting ever since. There's nowhere more beautiful, and the people are exceptional! It's been fun to create the kinds of spaces that I would love to find here if I was visiting. We, our dog, and the cottages all live on 150 acres by the ocean, so there's lots of room to experience the best of the Island– dramatic landscapes, the sea, hiking and stars!
