Thank You – and a Personal Note 🏡✨

We wanted to share a bit of news: we’ve decided to sell our home. Until it finds its new owners, we’re still here – and we’d be happy to welcome you again if you’d like to return for another stay.

If you know someone who might be interested in a unique property, or would enjoy a peaceful getaway like the one you experienced, we’d truly appreciate it if you passed our details along.

Wishing you all the best – and maybe we’ll see you again sometime!

With kind regards from beautiful Cape Breton,

Lydia & Johannes
