Owners were nice enough to wait for us and give us instructions on how to reach our dome. Place was very tranquil and peaceful esp during early hours. Had great views at the back too! And instructions were given on how to use dome facilities. Owners were also kind enoug to give us suggestions on where to eat and that was a big help! They recommended a nice place.
Dome little cold (it was rainy that day so maybe we felt little colder than expected) but Highlands are usually colder than lower places. Maybe better to fully savor the place by staying longer and not just for a night like us.

amazingly beautiful location, right on the water, and nestled in a green forest. The domes were a very cool, very unique way to experience this little slice of Cape Breton. It rained a little at night so we got to listen to the rain hitting the top of the dome. Then, a little later, the sky cleared and we could see the stars through the top of the dome. What a great night's stay!
Honestly, Blue Bayou completely met our expectations. We knew that there was no food service or restaurant onsite so we planned ahead. We were able to purchase a few snacks as a "just in case" and it was just perfect.

When you first drive up, you're not sure what to think. It's a bunch of geo bubbles dotting the woods. When you open the door to your dome, you are pleasantly surprised with your room. Nice bed, decent shower. And, when you walk down to the lake and your smile becomes permanent. They have kayaks, canoes, paddle boards there to use whenever you want. Great place for the family. The owner is very friendly and attentive and fun to talk with. The sunsets over the lake were amazing and it was very cool to lay in your bed at night and stare through the roof at the stars. Close to everything you want to see.
There is no stove inside the domes so you are still camping in that sense. I kept forgetting that we had a bathroom and shower.

We arrived at Blue Bayou after a long day of driving on the Cabot Trail and received a warm welcome from our kind hosts. The two kids in our group were more excited about staying in the domes than anything else we had planned for our trip and they did not disappoint! The domes were as cool as they were comfortable. I only wish we had planned more time there :)
My teensy complaint is that the hot water ran out more quickly than I anticipated, but if I had hurried a little, that wouldn't have been an issue.

The staff were extremely accommodating. We had another booking which turned out to not have what we were told for beds. These guys took us in late at night and made sure we were happy and comfortable. I WILL be returning here each year as it's my new fav place to go along the trail!! Situated on a lake, with access to canoes/kayaks. It was the last week of the season and they still allowed us free rein of the facilities even tho they were obviously about to close as there was only 1 other couple in the entire resort. I believe I seen zip lines near this place also that goes out over the lake during one of my walks through the woods. Again, these guys rock, can't go wrong staying here, just don't go when I plan on being there!! 🤣
There was literally nothing to dislike here. They are the best facilities I have stayed on the trail so far. The people are amazing. The yurts look clean and the couple cottages they had were great.

What a great location. It is a bit off the grid, but exactly what we were looking for. The Dome’s are spacious and the bed was so comfortable. We had a dome that overlooked the water so waking up to glassy waters and going to sleep to beautiful sunsets was incredible. Such a fun place and unexpected kayaking and paddleboards that sealed the deal. Family fun for everyone!
You need to be somewhat self-sufficient as there are limited supplies at the resort. BYOB and more.

The glamping tent is very unique and the setting is excellent. Located right beside a lake, with kayaks and canoes available adds to the experience but we didn’t have time to take advantage. The fire pit and picnic table outside would encourage people to be outside. There is a group shelter for barbecuing.
Nothing really. We booked last minute, so the heater was started then and It took a while for it to warm up. Our own fault.

Wonderful location, excellent hospitality, and an overall great experience! We got a lot of help and recommendations from the owner, everything from help to start a fire, to nearby hikes and beaches. The domes were big enough and comfortable for our stay. As a bonus, though unrelated, there was a meteor shower one night and we had a perfect view!!
Just a heads up, there isn’t a door separating the bathroom from the main room, just a wall divider.

Perfect location for our Cabot Trail adventure. The dome was clean and comfortable. Very friendly staff. Nice and quiet. The nearby South Harbour beach is spectacular. Easy walk from the roadside.
Not much privacy as the domes are very close together but we knew this before booking. Not sure what was going on with the dock but it didnt look safe. It was partially submerged and was crooked. Rental of the kayaks was pricey so opted not to. It would be nice to have marked and designated common area (like a deck) with some seating at the lakeshore. The firewood was wet.

We were delighted to be able to swim and kayak in the lovely bay. And we are grateful to Stephane for attending so well to guests (especially when, unrequested, he showed up to repair our punctured car tire! Thank you!).
