We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location was serene and picturesque, offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The cottage itself was charming, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully appointed with every detail carefully considered.The service was exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into making guests feel comfortable and valued. One standout feature was how pet-friendly the property was—even dog bowls were thoughtfully provided, which made our furry companion feel just as welcome as we did.There was truly nothing to fault; every aspect of our stay was seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with top-notch hospitality!

Beautiful place. Well kept. Modern. Amazing amenities (great tea/coffee selection, robes, large selection of spices). Unbeatable view on top of it all with a friendly host making sure you have everything you need and going above and beyond.

Five Stars! Our two-week stay at Ridge on the Chimney in Juniper Cottage was simply unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with this unique and special place nestled near Margaree Harbor and Inverness NS.The thoughtfully designed layout of the cottage made for an incredibly comfortable and effortless living experience. Every detail was carefully considered—daily life essentials were beautifully integrated without overwhelming the space, creating a perfect harmony of aesthetics and function.The wood-fired hot tub was a highlight, offering a wonderfully relaxing way to soothe sore muscles after long days of hiking, all while enjoying breathtaking sunsets over the majestic ocean views. The private path to the beach was a daily adventure, where we delighted in wildlife sightings—brown hares, eagles, seals, and a variety of fascinating birdlife.The tranquility and solitude of this retreat provided invaluable comfort and a much-needed escape for our spirits. Scott and his team exemplify genuine care and hospitality. Their friendly, attentive service and pride in maintaining the property truly made us feel special. Their local knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing the area’s natural wonders, restaurants, and events enriched our stay even further. The cleaning team was beyond awesome ( and I know, I spent a career in commercial facilities contracting!)We have never felt so comfortable, relaxed, and reluctant to leave as we did at Ridge on the Chimney.
