Birch Plain Cottage | A modern, cosy, ocean-front, beach (rock) acces Cottage

2 Bedroom Cottage in Birch Plain

The Sleeping Moose Cottage is located on the North Shore of Cape Breton Island, 8 km south of Cape Smokey, between the Cape Breton Highlands National Park (25 km) and the town of Baddeck (65 km) on the Bras d'Or Lakes.
The North Shore, originally settled by Scots in the early 1800s, is now home to lots of moose, a crab and lobster fishery (May - July), as well as many fine artisans and crafters.
From the deck of the Sleeping Moose Cottage you might see whales and seals, for sure ocean birds, and 'our' Bald Eagle who does a 'fly-by' a couple of times a day. Walk to our pebble beach and enjoy the beautiful view and sometimes-loud silence of the waves hitting the pebbles.
There are lots of hiking and snowshoeing trails in and outside the National Park, and if you like golf... Highland Links is a beautiful 25-minute drive away.
The Sleeping Moose is a housekeeping cottage with a full kitchen, but it is conveniently located on the same property as the Dancing Moose Cafe. It serves unusual breakfasts and lunches bilt around Dutch Pannekoeken (stuffed pancakes), Belgian waffles, a daily soup, and baked treats, all made from scratch in our own kitchen.
We are an all-season accommodation. Start your day watching the sun rise over the ocean. Then, spend a lazy summer's eve on your private deck watching the stars come out. Light a cosy fire in your wood stove on chilly evenings, or in winter when snow has changed the landscape. On rainy days, enjoy a free movie or a bit of surfing with our free wireless Internet.

Summary: The week we stayed at the Sleeping Moose was extremely hot however Ton provided 2 fans which made it somewhat more livable. If you’re planning a visit, don’t forget insect repellent! The Cabot Trail is truly beautiful & Ton’s restaurant, The Dancing Moose was great.

Cabin was ideal for our needs, adequately equipped, very comfortable beds and lovely location with super view out to the ocean - picnic table ideally placed for this also. The Dancing Moose cafe serves great food as well. All in all certainly recommend a stay here.

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at the Sleeping Moose cabin. Ton was an excellent host and having his restaurant on site was a fantastic addition to our trip. The Pannekoek is delicious!! The cabin had all the basics we needed and the view and the sound of the waves was incredibly relaxing. It’s a great jumping off place for exploring Highland National Park and a great place to relax after a long day on the trails. Thanks Ton!

Summary: Very comfortable and clean cabin with cozy atmosphere. Kitchen facilities were great, bed was super comfortable, living room area very nice. Lovely to be close to Atlantic ocean and beautiful sunrises. Tasty breakfasts and lunches at the nearby Dancing Moose Cafe. A little bit of a haul over Smoky Mt. to reach Inverness & Cape Breton Highlands National Park, but it's a stunning ride overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
