O Lugar de Maggie na Trilha de Cabot, Ilha Cape Breton

Wonderful location for visiting Cape Breton and especially the Cabot Trail! Uli was so kind to have a fire already going in the fireplace and we immediately felt welcomed and at home at Maggie's place. The peace and quiet and fall colors were beyond our expectations for this much needed get away for my husband and myself. We were very Blessed to have attended the first night of the Celtic Colours Festival in Port Hawkesberry.We had everything we needed at our fingertips and Uli is very responsive to any needs that we had or questions about the area.

We had a wonderful time at Maggie's Place!!! Fantastic location and the old house has such charm and beautiful surroundings! Uli and Cathy are wonderful people and so interesting and accommodating!! Loki, there guest greeting dog, is also a joy! Highly recommend if visiting Cape Breton!! Will try and be back for sure!

We stayed here for 3 nights as a family (5 people). The location was good for us, though a bit far from amenities. The host (Uli) was very communicative. He advised us to stock up on supplies before arrival, which we did. Maggies is a pretty home in a lovely setting, surrounded by trees and set back from the road. It is an older home, charming and quirky so if you are the kind of person who prefers pristine and predictable surroundings, this may not be the place for you :) We had visited the Green Gables historic site a few days earlier and our kids said Maggies felt similar, but without the ropes to keep you from touching everything! They enjoyed dancing to the old-timey tunes on the crank-powered grammophone, and eating off real dishes on a real tablecloth (a nice change from chain motels). My husband's allergies (dust, smoke, fur etc) acted up a bit, I think just because it is such an old home. We did have a couple of small issues come up (e.g. a smoke alarm needing new batteries) and Uli was very responsive. Overall our experience here was positive and we will remember it fondly.

Maggie's place was better than we anticipated. We love old houses, and this one was a home run. The beautiful yard, the flowers, the quiet neighbourhood, the nicely restored old home was all there to make our pleasure. All the modern commodities were there too, which made our stay easy.The kids enjoyed Netflix while we read the old 50 years old magazines.Uri the owner made us feel like family. I would definitely go back if I have the chance.

Cathy and Uli have worked hard to add charm and comfort to Maggie's rustic farmhouse from a bygone era. It was a wonderful time to be there. So peaceful, set back from the road and surrounded by the beautiful Fall colours. Very nice to sit by the fire burning in the wood stove and enjoy one of the many interesting local history books.
