Trailsman Lodge

The location is perfect for starting your day for the Cabot trail. They have a super nice view. Our room: In our case, 2 light bulbs (the one at the night stand and the standing light don't work) only one on the desk, the ceiling and the bathroom work. The man at the front desk was very nice. The breakfast is included but we decided to sleep in instead so I don't know what they offers.

The Trailsman Lodge was way better than I expected based on some of the recent negative reviews. I spent 3 wonderful nights here exploring Baddeck, the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton island; the reviewer who claimed they couldn't see the lake from a lake view room must've arrived and left in the dark : you couldn't be any closer to the lake, and even if you can't see it from your room, it's right outside at breakfast. At this time of year, the many geese had numerous cute little babies to look at on the lawn that gently slopes down from the deck to the lake, which is beautiful. The room itself was quiet and comfortable, with two queen beds, a couple of lovely armchairs and some outside red chairs on the deck overlooking the views. It has all the normal facilities you'd expect, such as large fridge, coffee machine, lots of wardrobe hanging space, ironing board, large flatscreen TV etc. The bathroom was beautifully tiled, with fabulous shower pressure, a hair dryer and plenty of room around the washbasin for your toiletries. Maybe this is a seasonal thing: breakfast was table service, so you could order what you wanted and it was brought to you : delicious banana cake and fruits, as well as bacon, sausage, toasts, hashbrowns and the best scrambled eggs I had during a 12 day trip around NS,NB & PEI. There was also cereals and choices of coffee and juice. So, absolutely no complaints or issues at all : I would happily stay here again!

Stayed here with my friends snowmobiling the highlands. The bed was very comfortable and the comforter was nice. Fridge in the room. Big screen TV. Lots of parking. 15 minutes from off road parking area. We had two snowmobile trailers and two truck and you could fit 4 more in the parking lots easy enough.

I’ve stayed here twice in the same building. The room is excellent but the door is not soundproof and the bottom of the door is too short and this week there was so much cold air blowing in that we had to stuff towels under it.

We like the service and view

What an unexpected surprise. This motel is well kept, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was awesome. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

It’s a great place to stay, the owner is really helpful and patient, their burger and fries are fantastic!

It was fine. There was bugs in the lights the walls are paper thin I could hear the people on one side of me talking and the the people on the other sides tv

My second time staying here and will do so again.
