    It is so peaceful and quiet. Everything is made with a lot of love. Ingo and his mom Maria are the sweetest people. Ingo gave us great ideas for cabot trail etc. Loved our stay! I recommend cottage 6 with wonderful seaview and short walk to the shore. Just bring light baggage, the car has to be parked 50 meters or so away. The other cottages have a parking space right in front.

    I wish we had spent more time exploring the area, but that is a great reason to go back.

    A great place to just relax, unwind, and unplug.

    Serene stay for visiting Isle Madame

    The host was incredibly hospitable and the location couldn’t be beat!!! It is a very serene setting, just minutes by car to the main town on Isle Madame. The cabin was perfectly outfitted with everything we needed and the waterfront access was great for both some paddling and some relaxing in the screened-in pavilion. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Vipilodge and definitely plan to return!

    Not much. Be prepared to have no cell service, which can be nice if you want to disconnect. The bed was a little firm for us, but we like particularly soft beds.

    The cabin was very well cared for, very clean, and nicely decorated. What a cute place! It was just the right size for us, and there were lots of nice little touches, like twinkle lights, a privacy curtain for the bed, books to read, etc. The kitchen was well equipped. There was privacy from the other cabins. Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. There was a nice dock where we could sit, read, and enjoy the view.

    Only thing that could have possibly made it any better than it already was, would be a fire pit. However that is reasonably not feasible in the specific location.

    Lovely little remote spot, great for a change of pace in regards to life. Able to disconnect from the online world and just enjoy the company of your partner, and nature. The cabin was set up in a lovely way for a couple to enjoy their time in if they choose to stay in rather than explore. Lots of options to do on site, and plenty to do within the area. The host was extremely welcoming, his kindness and knowledge exceeded expectations. You can tell they care about their visitors, and that this is a passion.

    Vipilodge is wonderful if you want to get away somewhere quiet, peaceful and relaxing. If you prefer to be more active then Ingo will happily take you out in his boat, rent you a kayak or bike or take you diving. The cabin was surprisingly large, and very well equipped with everything we needed. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Ingo and Maria could not have been more friendly and helpful and were both willing to spend time with us and were very interesting to talk to. Our stay at Vipilodge perfectly ended our vacation in Cape Breton.

    It's a fabulous, quiet, secluded, very peaceful place hidden in the wood. 3 min walk to the waterfront. Lots of great hiking trails around. Amazingly cozy cabin where we spent unforgettable moments having morning coffee on the porch, listening rain or birds singing, and breathing in the aromas of the leaves and ocean. Fantastic, utterly thoughtful friendliest management by Ingo. One of the best vacation experiences we ever had! Highly recommended!

    The cottages are located in a wood on a small island, and if you like a nature, that is a great place to stay. Several log houses are well separated. No TV or internet, but there is an interesting common use place with a choice of books and musical instruments and interesting collection of vintage treasures from a seabed. Sauna in the wood. The host Ingo is kind and helpful and takes great care of his guests, gave us useful recommendations on the Cabot trail. Thank you very much. Viktoria and Vlad
