Nestled amidst the majestic peaks, this secluded home offers a serene retreat away from village life. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of mountains, it provides unparalleled tranquility and a direct connection to nature's wonders.
Step outside, and you'll find yourself within easy reach of hiking trails that wind through pine-scented forests and lead to breathtaking viewpoints. The crisp mountain air invigorates as you explore these paths, each step a journey into the untouched wilderness.
Come winter, the landscape transforms into a playground for snow enthusiasts. With snowmobiles revving nearby, adventure beckons just beyond your doorstep. Imagine the thrill of gliding through pristine snowfields, the quiet thrill of discovering hidden valleys blanketed in winter's embrace.
Back at the house, the views of snow-capped peaks or vibrant autumn foliage, depending on the season. Inside, cozy spaces await, where evenings are spent recounting the day's adventures or simply soaking in the peace that only a mountain retreat can offer.
This home near the mountains is not just a place to live; it's a haven for those who cherish the harmony of nature and the thrill of outdoor exploration, where every season brings its own magic and every day promises a new adventure.

We had an absolutely wonderful 3 night stay at Nanook's Den! A perfect cabin and location for exploring the hiking trails of the Highlands and driving the scenic loop of the Cabot Trail. The house was very comfortable and had all the necessities, and more. We had made dinner reservations for several of our nights then decided to cook at home, to be able to enjoy the peaceful view from the back patio. Each room was tastefully decorated to embrace a touching connection to Alaska and the kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything you could need. It was quite warm while we were there so having air conditioning available was a real plus--as was having a full washer and dryer in the downstairs room (also great for storing bags). We walked to the Quarry from the house and hiked the Acadian and Skyline (especially nice in the late afternoon when it was less crowded) trails, and drove the full loop from Cheticamp around to Baddeck (with a fantastic lunch stop at Morrison's in North Cape) and back home one day. Another good lunch at Dancing Goat Cafe in Margaree Harbor and we picked up breakfast goodies each morning from Aucoin or Last Chance Sandwich Shop. The Highlands are a spectacular slice of heaven and we can't wait to return--and would definitely come back to Nanook's Den! P.S. We played golf at Cabot Cliffs at 4 pm the day before coming to Cheticamp--amazing course, views, and memorable sunset!

Everything was thought of by the hosts! The house is fully equipped, and the location is very peaceful.
Ample space for a family of 4.
We would definitely come back.

Beautiful little place with everything we needed to be comfortable, and beautifully decorated too. Lovely location. We were sorry we couldn't stay a bit longer.

Even though our stay was short, we absolutely loved this small but incredibly functional house. It was spotless, beautifully organized, and offered the perfect peaceful retreat away from town.Be sure to take the time to read the welcome book and learn about the story of Lynn’s daughter—it is both touching and inspiring. We also loved the opportunity to purchase the beautiful handmade tuques, mittens, and moccasins displayed in the house. They are truly works of art and make wonderful keepsakes.Lynn and Christian made sure we had everything we needed and were exceptional hosts. We highly recommend staying here. We only wish we could have stayed longer, but the Cabot Trail was calling us!
