- "Pleasant 10 d stay in a beautiful house with 1a sea view. Quiet and beautiful place with lots of nature around, like humming birds, eagles and rabbits. Beautiful flowers around the house. Very good communication with the owners. Super stay and recommend to book." - "Immediately we were taken by the spectacular view…. Almost magical. The house was very clean and comfortable and high end materials were used throughout. Be prepared to travel a distance to see sights, but it was worth it. We had torrential rains at one point, but we felt safe because of the all house generator.

This home is a welcoming retreat for artists and anyone who values quiet and seclusion. It is decorated in an eclectic mix of antique items (including a cannister set from the 1880's once belonging to my great-grandparents in the Netherlands) to original works of modern art. The open concept mini home was renovated in 2021/22 to provide everything you could hope for in a vacation home: A/C, updated kitchen, sliding doors to a huge screen room, woodstove and ensuite bathroom. Please note - the house is on a steep hill so if you are towing a heavy trailer, or your vehicle needs a brake job - this may not be the rental for you.

- "Nice place but need to replace the beds. Really liked having two washrooms for four adults. It was unfortunate that it rained so much. I would rent again if I was coming back to the area." - "We had everything we needed and more in this well-appointed unit." - "Beautifully equipped cottage for those that want to stay close to Bridge to Cape Breton but still enjoy some quiet and privacy. Couldn’t ask for more." - "Renny’s place is exactly as advertised. Great view and excellent positioning for our daylong exploration. Renny provided some excellent insight into nearby places (beaches and an island) to visit. We particularly liked the beach she recommended (Point Michaud). A beautiful and tranquil Nova Scotia beach. One place we enjoyed that we happened upon was the Musgrave Museum. The gentleman who runs the facility was a true pleasure to visit with and learn some history about the surrounding area. We found Renny’s place to offer good value and a great base for our daily pursuits."

The Bluenose House offers an overwhelming panoramic view to the south of the sparkling sea and the offshore islands. Several generations, couples, water sports enthusiasts will enjoy the tranquility and the view of the protective islands.

We have traveled for years, sailed more than 10,000 miles from the Mediterranean through the Caribbean and Bermuda to our new home in Canada and saw beautiful islands along the way. But Cape Breton's natural unspoilt beauty has surpassed it all. In 15 years we have seen nothing more beautiful from water and land than this magical place. Hundreds of enthusiastic guest book entries document on our website that our guests also feel the incomparable specialty of this location. Since we immigrated in 2012, we can undertake sailing or fishing trips in your language and give the best tips if desired.
In Continental U. S. and Canada, Cape Breton was named the No. 1 top island in the renowned travel magazine “Travel & Leisure” in 2011, the third most beautiful island in the world and in 2014 one of the 10 most romantic islands in the world.
No house, no power line, nothing disturbs the breathtaking panoramic view from the Bluenose House. Occasionally, friendly lobster fishermen greet with an Irish, French accent and tell of their immigrant, sometimes German ancestors. Supermarkets and hospital can be reached in a few minutes. We like to go to the nearby wonderfully protected bays with our fishing boat and show our guests the magic of the forests and coasts from the sea, see eagles, seals, hummingbirds, often also whales, and enjoy the fish we have caught ourselves.

The light is more intense here than anywhere else in the world, the colors are more brilliant, you have to let Nova Scotia work its magic on you. The coasts are deeply cut with countless bays and fjords. The island of Cape Breton in the northeast with the Bras d`Or Lake (twice the size of Lake Constance) offers crystal-clear water and excellent fishing opportunities. People love their traditions. Scottish bagpipe or Irish fiddle music is played on every occasion. There are Scottish highland festivals and tap courses. The French Akadiers are happy about a "Bon Jour", but they all speak English.

Nova Scotia is different. Special, very lovable, wild and lovely at the same time. The landscape is often compared to the Scandinavian countries, slightly mountainous, green, crossed by lakes and large forest areas with elk, bear and lynx. Nova Scotia is on the same level as Bordeaux (45. Latitude), which probably explains the warm summers. The int. Airport Halifax is e.g. B. from Frankfurt with Condor in 6-7 hours directly and from there it goes on with intercity buses or rental cars 3 hours relaxed to the houses.

- "Bob, I wanted to thank you for your hospitality. My family and I stayed at this house for 10 days. The place was very clean and communication with the manager was very easy. I have no complaints and would stay here again." - "The cottage has wonderful water views, and is cozy and comfortable! We curled up in the loft chairs and enjoyed the view." - "Hurricane Fiona hit Cape Breton during our stay. Bob and his staff made sure that we were safe and had everything we needed, checking in with us several times. House was very nice, view was great, and we’d like to come again without a storm. We still had a great time. Highly recommend."

- "Cottage is in bachelor format with basically one large room. Perfect for my wife and I, maybe not two couples. Place was spotless and possibly the best equipped rental I have ever been in. Paper towel, tissue, several rolls of TP, toothbrushes, floss sticks, plenty of dishes for several meals before running the dishwasher , lots of towels including additional for the hot tub. I will stay here again and recommend to friends." - "This was a beautiful place to stay for our visit to Cape Breton Island. The view from the house was amazing! We were able to catch both sunrise and sunset while overlooking Bras D'Orr. The hot tub and patio firepit made for a relaxing time. And the privacy was appreciated. One caution is that these are relatively new rentals and while each house is PERFECTLY outfitted, you do drive up a gravel road and driveway with the surrounding land being clear cut for additional cabins. However, once inside and looking out, it is not noticed at all. It is also a bit of a drive if you want to tour the island as we did. This place is best for time hanging out and relaxing. We loved it!"

- "Beautiful updated farmhouse. Extremely well kept with all amenities you would require (2 full baths, dishwasher, washer/dryer, Air conditioning, cleaning supplies, etc.). Private trails with brook. Awesome screen room at the side of the house to sit outside without being bothered by mosquitos. Outside fire pit as well. Susan and John are very responsive to messages, dropped by to let us know about some skunks in the area so our dogs did not get sprayed. Will stay again!"

- "An excellent place to stay. Beautiful beach near to. Thanks!" - "Amy was so helpful and welcoming! She answered our questions right away and suggested things we could do in rainy weather. The house was very clean, comfortable and beautiful. We loved it here! Thank you!!" - "Our family of five enjoyed our two nights here. The hosts were friendly and helpful. My 16 year old said it was the most comfortable bed he’d ever slept on. Would highly recommend."

The Yellownose House is located directly on a 350m long private beach with a view of the river delta. From the beach, it's easy to pull the kayak into the sea or fish for dinner with a large family Canadian. Because of the special location at the mouth of the river in the Atlantic, no fishing license is required. The large sandy beach and the sheltered shallow bay at the house is particularly suitable for children. If this house is occupied, there is the identical "Bluenose House" next door, also for holidays together. Please ask. We are also happy to undertake fishing trips in our motor boat or sailing boat trips with instructions (if desired).
The special thing about this house is the location without a view of electricity pylons, wind turbines etc. You are completely private to yourself and yet there is a hospital a few minutes away (which is usually associated with long journeys to this region) and a 15-minute drive is Port Hawkesbury, the "capital" of Cape Breton. On You Tube you will find videos and aerial photos of the "Yellownose House"

- "Calm and peace! Thank you!" - "I stayed at the Yellownose with my husband and two teenagers and it was everything we were hoping for! Very much off the beaten track but a good base for exploring Cape Breton Island. We loved being at the end of a private lane on our own little point of land, swimming off our own pebble beach, and admiring the gorgeous view from the beautiful deck. The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. Our only small constructive suggestion would be improved airflow in the loft, which was very hot; but the main floor gets a lovely breeze. We would definitely stay here again."

We would definitely recommend it to friends."

The Bluenose House is unique on the island because of its location directly by the ocean and its high standard of living. It is a difference in living close to a lake or to reside directly by the ocean with private beach. Compare carefully! We have uploaded pictures and guest pictures on this website for this purpose to see the difference between ocean view and our oceanfront property. House Bluenose is a frame construction built in 2000. It is furnished to suit European tastes and features, for example, 220 Volt transformators, in addition to the local 110 Volts. Except for TV, you'll find everything you need. The high-end kitchen like all closets and floors, typically for Canada, is solid wood and leaves nothing to be desired.

A large porch (2.5m by 30m, safe for toddlers) around the house on three sides allows sunbathing and outdoor living surrounded and protected by maples, birches, and firs. From here, you can enjoy the mild breezes of the Atlantic and the romantic views of island life .

Light in Nova Scotia is much stronger than elsewhere, colors are more brilliant. Lay back and let Nova Scotia enchant you. The coastline is deeply indented by fiords and numerous bays. Cape Breton Island in the north east has a huge lake (Bras d´Or Lake) with crystal clear water and terrific fishing possibilities. People here are still very tight to their traditions: there is always an occasion to listen to Scottish bagpipes and Irish fiddle music and when you are here you can choose among different Scottish events and step classes. In the French Acadian, their inhabitants, although english speaking, enjoy being greeted with a French bon jour.

- "We decided to go to NS within a week of leaving. Due to the COVID rules, we knew we would have to isolate for 14 days and Robert's looked like a great place to spend those 14 days with two young kids. Robert was quick to answer our messages and when we mentioned we would need a way to get groceries delivered to his house, he offered. I asked a few days before arrival for an early check-in and he was happy to arrange it. The place was clean and as described when we arrived. Throughout our stay he remained very responsive. We really enjoyed our time walking through the woods and by the ocean, lounging on the deck, and kayaking!"

- "Mulgrave mansion was a great hidden gem; very spacious and clean; kids loved the pool :) Worked as a great home base for the Cabot trail and surrounding sites. Would recommend and stay again!" - "The home was breathtakingly beautiful. Super private location, so peaceful. It was very clean and comfortable. Coffee on the patio, enjoying the view was our favorite." - "We had a great stay. Was a perfect place for a girls getaway." - "A very nice property. Four couples stayed there a night while on a motorcycle tour of Nova Scotia. One of the bedrooms didn’t have access to a bathroom so it was more of a 3br house rather than 4br. Spacious with many amenities but there were numerous sticky notes around informing us of things that didn’t work or shouldn’t be used. The access road was gravel and not motorcycle friendly."

Welcome to Behie House! We are a hidden gem tucked along the coastline of Guysborough County. Come stay in our precious 3-bedroom home with a full kitchen and dining area for large groups, a bright and open living room, and a fully screened veranda on a rural property where kids and animals can play.

Wake up in the gorgeous countryside and come downstairs to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the Strait of Canso and Cape Breton Island.

A 25 minute drive to Guysborough and Cape Breton, Behie House serves as a great home base for exploring southern Cape Breton and the Eastern Shore. Explore our varied beaches to do some beachcombing, sightseeing, sunbathing, or swimming, and keep on the lookout for hiking trails - directions are provided on the fridge in the house (including some recommended, more hidden local areas!)

We are open year round. In the fall and winter you can expect a warm, cozy retreat with heat pumps on all levels of the house. So if you're looking for a wonderful getaway in the colder months, or even just a home all your own while you're on a business trip, Behie House is the perfect fit.
