Enjoy this walkout apartment with a private entrance that faces beautiful Fiddlers Lake. It offers a large bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom with shower and large seating area. Swim, canoe or just Decompress on Fiddlers Lake, 25 mins from Sydney Nova Scotia
We took a Leap of Faith when the pandemic started and moved to beautiful Cape Breton from Ontario. We have been overwhelmed by the beauty and hospitality of this lovely island and decided to open Fiddlers Lake Escape to offer others that same magical feeling.
We are on a private road 25 mins South of Sydney Nova Scotia and 10 mins from the Atlantic ocean and the fishing village of Gabarus.
