Reviews of Whitecap Cottage
Your Host, Lisa
I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia with my husband Steve and our Havanese dog, Monte. I fell in love with Cape Breton when I worked there as a teenager. We love riding the Cabot Trail on my husband’s Harley at least once a year (with Monte on board, of course!) Our dream of owning a beachfront property on the Cabot Trail came true in 2023 with Whitecap Cottage. We painstakingly designed the layout to create the best use of space for ourselves and our guests and reveled in decorating and equipping it with everything a vacationer needs. We are beyond excited to be sharing Whitecap Cottage and helping our guests fall in love with Cape Breton Island and beautiful Ingonish.
