Tigh Beag Writers Retreat. Secluded Waterfront acreage.

Our Tigh Beag (little house in Gaelic) invites you to relax and unwind. Enjoy reconnecting with nature and with yourself at our secluded waterfront home on the Bras d’Or lake (the largest inland salt water lake in the world).
Nestled amongst mature trees, our three bedroom house is a short drive to world class golf and within a day’s drive to many of the best seasonal attractions Cape Breton has to offer.
Guests enjoy access to the entire house and over an acre of treed property. Hi speed wifi, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, gas BBQ, washer and dryer, full bathroom as well as an large screen T.V with ROKU, an assortment of DVD movies, video games, books, indoor and outdoor games and an electric fireplace make for a comfortable stay. Our beach is private and peaceful connecting to the house via a whimsical path. There is a spot on the beach for fires and a propane fire pit on the deck. We are 30 minutes from grocery/gas so be sure to stop in Port Hawkesbury or St.Peters for supplies on your way.
The house is small and caters to couples or small families. NON-SHEDDING dogs will be considered on a case by case basis. We are located in St. George’s Channel, half way between St. Peter’s and Port Hawkesbury. We are 5 miles from the Dundee Golf Course and less than 10 miles from a Provincial Park boat launch. “Fishing Booking “ names the Bras d’Or lake as “a golden ticket to both freshwater and saltwater fishing adventures”. As well, we are within a day’s round trip drive to The Fortress Louisbourg, Miners Museum, Highland Village, Cabot Links Golf, Alexander Graham Bell Museum, Gaelic College, Glenora Distillery, local vineyards, and many other attractions. The Cabot Trail is also accessible and can be driven round trip within a day if you get an early start.
Celtic Colours is one of many music festivals that takes place on the island, and we are perfectly situated for easy access to the many venues.
There is a lot to see and do in Cape Breton. We are a great stopping point as well for folks heading on to Newfoundland via North Sydney if you chose the scenic route 4.
