About this property

Spacious Oceanfront Retreat Moments from the Cabot Trail

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. Completed in April 2023, this spacious and airy cottage can be the perfect base to explore the Cabot Trail or it can be a destination unto itself.

On the pristine coast of Aspy Bay, surrounded by forest, Kingfisher Landing is nestled on a quiet beach just minutes off the Cabot Trail. The crystal clear waters of the property offer guests gradual entry perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing.

This newly completed cottage has a stunning kitchen, complete with all of the modern conveniences - a dishwasher, new stove, microwave, and large refrigerator. Take your choice of any of the three charming bedrooms - including a principal suite with a 4-piece ensuite bathroom.

Drive the stunning Cabot Trail to explore the many local beaches, go whale watching, hiking, or feast on local fare....or maybe just sit back and watch the ocean from the oversized deck.

About the host

Hosted by Nicola Gillis

Host profile image
I love spending time outside. It is a joy and a privilege to share our home with you as you explore this beautiful part of the world.

Why they chose this property

Our family loves spending time outdoors together, and the Cabot Trail provides so many stunning opportunities to do just that. From kayaking to whale watching; from hiking to bird spotting, Kingfisher Landing has it all!

Newly completed in April 2023, our home is immaculate and offers the modern conveniences of home. This 1,300 square foot property is flooded with natural light and soaring ceilings.

Look out from one of the many windows for stunning views of Aspy Bay, North Harbour, and Sugar Loaf mountain. We are nestled amongst mature trees for privacy.

Take just a few steps from the generous deck to go for a swim in the tranquil waters of North Harbour and Aspy Bay. Gradual entry directly from the property makes it easy.

What makes this property unique

The surrounding areas offer a huge variety of activities for the outdoor enthusiast - there is kayaking, whale watching, cycling, swimming, golf and hiking... or sit on the deck and watch the amazing variety of birds. Cabot's Landing Provincial Park Beach is two minutes away, and offers a stunning 5 km of quiet, sandy beach. Whale watching trips are less than 10 minutes away from the house, and depart daily in the summer season. Cape Breton Highlands National Park is just 13 minutes away. Visit shops, bakeries and restaurants in the surrounding areas. Ingonish is a 30 minute drive, and boasts world-class golfing at the Celtic Lodge. It is also the home of Cape Smokey-- with downhill skiing in the winter, and gondola rides in the summer months. If cross country skiing is more your pace, stop by the North Highlands Nordic trails (10 minute drive) for some stunning views. Up for a drive? Inverness -- home of Cabot Cliffs, Cabot Links and Glenora Whisky Distillery -- is two hours away. Or ... just settle in at home, and enjoy the sights and sounds that this beautiful property have to offer.
