“Just what the Doctor ordered” The most beautiful place to stay, right from the moment you pass through the wrought iron gates. To the left you will see a large pond with a lovely waterfall…Then you meet Renie, your beautiful host. The cottage is so big and very clean and has everything necessary for your stay. You can see the water and mountains of the Bras d’Or Lakes as you BBQ or just relax and watch the eagles soar from your private deck. It is so pretty. To the left of you is the quaintest little church silhouetted in the water just begging to be photographed…We highly recommend this as the number one place to stay while in Cape Breton.

Oh, how we wish we would’ve known what a gem this place is!! We now wish our road trip through NS and PEI would’ve allowed us way more time here. We were beyond impressed. Thank you for setting up such an awesome place! We definitely want to plan a trip to visit again.

“Made Our Family Reunion Extra Special” I don’t get to see my brothers and their wonderful families nearly as much as I would like, so when one brother suggested a reunion at Keltic Quay over the Thanksgiving weekend 2008 we all said a resounding “YES!”

Keltic Quay is a hidden gem!! The location is breathtakingly beautiful, the cottages are top notch, the lodge is everything you could ever want for this type of gathering, and Renie, the caretaker, hostess and lovely lady is wonderful!

Although this place is near a small village and a busy highway you would never know it as soon as you turn into the resort. The drive is paved and the cottages are well built, each located only about 25 feet from the lake. When I stepped outside each morning, I was immediately enveloped by the serenity and tranquil beauty of the area. I actually made a small gasp each time I stepped outside.

Another reviewer has written about the high-end equipment in each cottage and that is true. We made some meals there. My brother had one catered by Farmer’s Daughter, a market and restaurant just up the road and it was wonderful. We all ate together in the lodge.

I can’t believe this resort is already three years old; everything is so glistening clean!!

All weekend, we had full use of the lodge as our family had booked both parts of every cottage. The use of kayaks, canoes and paddle boats were provided at no extra charge.

The lodge has a pool table, shuffleboard, books to read, and a huge fireplace, which was lit because of the time of year. Wonderful! We had some little ones with us and had brought some board games of our own but a deck of cards and a crib board were also available.

Keltic Quay truly is a wonderful place. Renie is so friendly and willing to make your stay the very best.

“Amazing Location and Beautiful Cabins” We stayed at Keltic Quay for 3 nights in January. The location is amazing as it is right on the lake and all the cabins are equipped to the highest standards. As we were there out of season, we were the only guests but we were greeted by such a warm welcome by the owner. The cabins are close to the Cabot Trail which is well worth the drive. Be prepared for the fact that most places in Nova Scotia are closed during the winter time. However, if you want some true unspoiled scenery and a chance to get away from the normal hustle and bustle of daily life, this is indeed the ideal place to be.

“Great Relaxing Place” Spotless and furnished the way you would your home – only maybe better! We stayed here for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Innkeeper, Renie, was most helpful and insisted that we use the laundry facilities at the lodge for free instead of having to go to a commercial Laundromat. She also recommended ceilidhs to attend and restaurants to visit. On our last morning our water heater failed and she opened up another cabin just for our use.

In short, a very accommodating innkeeper and a restful place to curl up and read a book.
