Knotty Pine Cottages

Very clean and well maintained! Pet friendly

Good

Location great. Rooms have been upgraded however could have been better. The toilet is in the open room concept literally 12 feet from dining area with no door. Only a curtain to pull back. Nothing to mitigate sound or smell to be honest. Bath tub was great, however took 20 minutes to fill. Water pressure poor. We stayed in Sunset cabin F. The bed was horrible. Double for 2 full grown aduls, rock hard, high off the ground. Could easily fit queen size bed in the room. Also right side of the bed has a lean to it. Felt like I was going to roll off the bed. Between that and the rock hard mattress, I chose to sleep on their 2 seater small couch. Which wasn’t the greatest comfort either. Chose not to have dinner at the restaurant attached. Limited selection. Location great, views great, room has potential but missed the mark. Until one can go to the bathroom without having to turn on the TV or literally have a guest 5 feet from you while eating sitting on the toilet, I wouldn’t recommend this resort.

everything was as expected.

From the description and pictures of the property, we were expecting a kitchen in our cabin. Nothing. Since the cabins are different, proper details should be included. Furniture was uncomfortable. Not good value for an expensive place

小木屋，其它ok，水不太行，水压不稳，没敢洗澡。Cape Breton也不能要求太多了。

beautiful waterfront property. breathtaking views from the balcony. cottage is well stocked with everything necessary. only issue was very limited dining options. even no convenience store. every restaurant and convenience stores closed way before their google advertisement. but loved the stay here.

Somewhat run down but a gorgeous view and great staff. Floors were slippery when wet!

Biggest complaint was just how tiny it was.

Beautiful

Gorgeous cottages with stunning views. Private, well equipped, excellent parking.

Beds were very comfortable and good nights sleep. Rooms are a little dated but very clean. We were on the bottom floor, could hear the upper floor walking. Overall quiet and peaceful.

Our second stay in a cottage. Loved the added privacy curtain for the washroom. Navigating the driveway down to the cottage was difficult as it is very narrow! We had to back out as a vehicle was parked near the sharp turn and we couldn’t get through….

Belle vue et petit restaurant très correct

These individual units provide an absolutely beautiful view. Each one is independent from others so it is very quiet. The unit is well maintained with a comfortable bed, all amenities, and a porch on which you can sit and hear the water lapping on the rocks. There is a restaurant associated with the cottages which also has a great view. Dinner was nice. Breakfast is $15 for those staying at the property and it is not inidivually prepared - more of a continental breakfast. I would not recommend breakfast if you would like a more individualize breakfast. Otherwise, this is a great place and I would recommend it.

Water was terrible. Water had dead ants and bugs in it and full of dirt. Couldn’t shower the whole time because I was too grossed out.

Great views from cabin.

Everything you hope for in a lodging. Comfortable beds, good shower, beautiful view.

Nice cabin. Fully equipped. Very comfortable. Lovely views.

There was very little view from the deck. Also, there is an open concept plan, so no door on the washroom. Or walls!. Just a curtain.

The property is very old and needed updates and freshening up. Screen door to patio needed replacing along with one patio chair. The view was nice, restaurant next door good. I would not book this cottage on another trip to area.

The motel room was very small.

Very rundown cabin, deck and surrounding property. No amenities and awful looking food at breakfast

what a gem of place you have, we are so happy we found you and sad we only had a small window in our journey to enjoy such fantastic view, and the cabin was just amazingly comfortable and cozy

Great place. Stayed in cabin C and was clean, renovated and. Great view.

Beautiful waterfront spot which was so peaceful - great view of the water

The cottage was well maintained, portable air conditionning was sufficient to keep us cool. Directly on the Cabot Trail, close to Ingonish beach and Smokey MOntain gondola. Our unit had partial view on the bay, but enough to enjoy beautiful sunsets.

It turned out to be a gem - lovely room, well appointed with a balcony looking over the bay. And the restaurant was also solid

Amazing view! Spacious cottage. We really enjoyed our stay at Knotty Pine

The deck and the view

Although the room was clean and comfortable it was very dated The property was poorly kept with decking that needed a lot of attention. Beautiful views were obstructed by overgrowth. This hotel is below par for the area and the price.

Breathtaking view, serene and calm. Really enjoyed the stay.

Easy to find. Friendly service

Friendly staff. Clean. The air conditioner wasn't hooked up.

Amazing view! The amenities were good, had a great deck, it was clean and was renovated. Would stay there again.

The property is recommended. Nice place, good view with everything you need.

Great location and great staff

Its a thoughtful arrangement. Such as klennex and coffee pods. Many details added to an older cottage, makes it very cozy. We love the view.

We had a fabulous stay. The property offers beautiful views. The room was clean and cozy. The wine glasses were a nice touch after drinking wine out of paper/plastic cups at our other accommodations. :) The staff were super helpful & friendly. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. We ordered several apps for a late night snack and had the breakfast. Both were delicious!

Very nice location.

The owner was outstanding and took care of any need and made us feel comfortable to ask if there were issues. Super clean, beautiful view and well wortg the money.

I had a great stay at the cottage! The place was clean, spacious, and located in a peaceful area. It came fully equipped with all the amenities you could need, which made the stay very comfortable. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. Overall, a wonderful experience—I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Staff was very friendly and cottage was quaint and clean with a beautiful view. Loved the bedding and little welcome touch of wine glasses on the table. Classy! Would definitely recommend.

Staff were friendly, allowed an early check in. We would have liked to have eaten at the restaurant, it looked great but limited optikns with my wife's food allergies. Highlight was sitting on our private deck in the evening reading and watching boats come in and out of harbour

Stay was delightful. Rooms need coffee maker.

Clean, excellent food,excellent service, highly recommended

Beautiful location, great food and service

The view was fantastic

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The view was incredible.

Absolutely stunning views !!!

While check-in was easy, it just was rushed and unlike Most check ins The overall state of the place looks very tired and dated. Definite improvements can be made to the grounds in terms of trimming up bushes trees to make it more appealing on the exterior. The rooms were tiny and very old. Having said that the bed was very comfortable with what appeared to be fairly new linens as were the towels in the bathroom. However, the bathroom was small and there was an odour to the room

Quaint

We had a great stay! The staff were knowledgeable and kind and recommended a number of great spots to check out. Checking in and out was very easy and flexible!

very excellent ocean view and quiet

Cabin with incredible view! Very nice and well stocked.

I stayed in Room 4 for a one-night stop near the Ingonish Beach area. The location is very convenient, and the price is reasonable for the area. Room 4 has its own balcony with a beautiful ocean view, although access to the balcony is only through a side path outside the room, which was a bit inconvenient. The air conditioner in the room seemed to have an issue—it was blowing hot air from the back, which caused the room temperature to rise to 30°C, so I had to turn it off. The water pressure in the bathroom was also quite weak. For a short stay, this was manageable, but it might be uncomfortable for a longer visit. I was especially looking forward to trying the on-site restaurant, but unfortunately it was closed during my stay. I had to drive about 10 minutes back to the main street for dinner. Overall, it’s a decent place for a brief stay, especially given the view and location, but there are some improvements that could enhance the guest experience.

very good view and easy to check in

The cabin was beautiful and clean with a fantastic view from the balcony. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing a list of places we could go for food nearby as it was still early in the season and their attached restaurant was still closed.

If one is looking for a quiet getaway with amazing views from your balcony this is the place. Also the staff was very friendly.

Hreat getaway location! Serene view, even when it's foggy/rainy out

Great little cabins with comfy bed, refrigerator, microwave, dining table for two, sofa etc. dishes and cutlery for 2. Stayed in a renovated “sunset cabin” which had a great view across the water from inside and deck with an bbq. Effective heat pump wall unit and baseboard heaters..very important in May lol. Unless the restaurant is open, dining options are 6 km into town so we brought microwaveable dinners which was perfect. Defintiely recommended.

Clean and neat, very little open as it was the off season

Beautiful location looking out over the water, with comfortable amenities, very close to Cape Smokey for snowboarding.

Its quite dated. The room was musty and we had to air it out with the windows open. The bed was on a slope in the floor so i felt like i was falling out of bed most of the night. No smart tv so be prepared for basic cable. Weak water pressure, cobwebs all over the walls, very dusty. Staff were very nice, the restaurant sucked. Very expensive and terrible food

This place was fantastic and the service from the staff was excellent. A perfect place to stay if skiing at Cape Smokey

The unit is okay, the place is very quiet, and the view is fabulous. Three things that need improvement: snow and ice removal. I stepped out of my vehicle and onto ice in our parking spot, which was on a slope. It's a narrow spot, so nowhere else to put your foot. They use far far too much scented product in the laundry. If you're environmentally sensitive bring your own sheets and pillow cases. The kitchen is poorly equipped. In a two bedroom unit, which presumably sleeps four, there was one large fork and one dessert fork, same with spoons. Only slightly annoying but so easily fixed. Check in was easy but not secure if you're a nervous traveler.

The cottage was so lovely and cute and beds were very comfortable. We had an excelllent view and staff was super friendly. The only thing was that we were in a lower unit with people above us. Once the people above us checked in, we could hear absolute everything including their conversations and every footstep because the walls were so thin. We were woken up early by the floor creaking upstairs and the stomping. Wish we had a singular unit or an upstairs unit...

Pretty good

Great stay for Cabot trail ✌️

Comfortable, clean, private, great view.

Such quaint cottages and grounds. The staff were very sweet. The location on the Cabot Trail is perfect!

Room was very clean but dinner service at the restaurant was very slow and most of the items on the menu were out of stock. Food was not good . I would recommend to stay but eat somewhere else

We had a great stay, very relaxing.

Beautiful spot! Restaurant was a pleasant surprise -- seafood and Chinese in the same place! Very nice staff and good food.

Everything is good except the toilet and bath are without any privacy. 所有设施都很好，床很舒服，但是厕所和浴缸没有任何遮挡物，上厕所非常尴尬。

Water front

The cabin was newer construction and was lovely in theory. It appears that the cabins are not being cleaned well or cared for as they should. There was a lot of dust on the floors and the ceiling fan, the sink drain was brown with crud, and the shower fan was falling out of the ceiling when we arrived. Paint was peeling off the walls in the bathroom and there was tissue pushed into the corner of the shower which I’m assuming was to plug a hole. The coffee machine also had old grounds inside and was badly stained, so I didn’t want to use it. It’s not all bad though, the linens are clean, the furniture is nice, and the patio and view are amazing. Just a bit more attention to detail with cleaning the cabin would go a long way.

The cabins were great. Ours was looking right over the water and we saw an eagle flying above us. Quiet, comfortable and beautiful.

We loved our stay at the Knotty Pines Cottages! My partner and I stayed in one of their motel rooms which was small in size but was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was a convenient location. They also have a small restaurant on site. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location and view Loved the soaker tub with view

The room was beautiful, though having no walls to the bathroom was a bit odd and I wished it had been made clear. We often stepped outside whenever someone needed to use the restroom. It didn't bother us the bathtub being open to the room since it was a romantic trip...but having to be in the same room as your partner when they go to the bathroom is not super romantic and can kill the mood. The view was beautiful and the staff was lovely. We enjoyed our stay and would book here again.

Accommodations are lovely, well kept, and in a great location that’s easy to find with ample parking. Avoid the onsite “restaurant” at all costs!! Horrific service, mediocre food and WAY overpriced.

A bit dated cottages. Plus the folks who stayed the night before cooked some dinner and left a horrible smell

Good decent place to stay, however washroom was very ordinary

Rooms with a gorgeous view!

Our cottage was super clean and the view was amazing!

Beautiful view from private porch rustic knotty pine interior.a little bit dated kitchen with confusing plumbing.small restaurant. I give it a solid 1 thumb up rating 👍

There was no water

I really hate to give this property a low rating because it could be a wonderful place to stay if we had gotten a good nights sleep. It’s on the water, the people are really nice and it was super clean; however, it was so hot in our room that we had a miserable night. There was AC in the bedroom but it put out as much hot air as cool so we turned it off. On a better note, the little restaurant on premises has an excellent breakfast and a good cup of coffee.

We enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful view on back deck.

Didn't like the room. No privacy from toilet. Food was disgusting. Fridge in unit didn't work properly.

Super cozy, loved the fireplace and the balcony overlooking the water. Brought everything we needed to bbq and they had a great bbq, clean and everything we needed to cook. Can't wait to come back!!

Very good place to stay. Real clean. Excellent room with great views.

Great property and cottages. A nice, relaxing vacation spot

Very clean and the staff was great. We qill definitely be back.

The unit we rented (9A) looked like an old fishing cabin inside complete with cobwebs everywhere. It was basically an old basement apartment. The newest thing inside was the TV. My family did not enjoy the stay, though the staff was friendly and helpful. Expected more for what we paid.

Location it was great for us, just on Calbot Trail. Checking easy. The view from the cabin amazing. Beds ok, clean. Anything else I didn't like. Full of bugs and little dirty.

Cottages were very tired and run down. They needed a lot of work. Tv in the living room you could only watch from the kitchen table. Staff were friendly but places needs a lot of work.

If you decide to stay here be sure you get one of the cottages on the water. I thought that is what I booked through Expedia but ended up in a unit under another that was essentially the basement. While it did have windows that looked at the water we were way above the shoreline. The unit was old and needed updating. The bed was comfortable. Shower and bathroom adequate. There was a rat trap outside the door to the unit. The area had limited dining options. The scenery is lovely but amenities lacking.
