My favorite part about the place was how quiet it was! No traffic noise, barely heard our neighbors and such a peaceful setting. The cabins are laid out just far enough away from each other that you have privacy but close enough if your friends are there in other cabins that they would not be far. The water front screened in room was perfect to enjoy the evenings and we loved the Clubhouse for when it was raining. We used our covered deck the most and enjoyed exploring the Arichat area not far away.

The only thing I could say bothered me was our fridge was a little loud when it kicked in (sorry I forgot to mention that Ingo). Mosquitoes would have been a problem but I came prepared with my thermacell, coils and bug spray and left with barely a bite so just be prepared (as you should be anywhere you go)

1. The owners Maria & Ingo treated us like Family. They were warm and welcoming. 2. The house was surrounded with trees, birds chirping in the morning, and it just helped us feel like we are on vacation. 3. The house had basic amenities that you need. Nothing fancy, but everything was nicely kept and was very cute. 4. Thanks for the Ukulele & CD player. We had lots of fun with it. 5. Perfect vacation home (and, there is a reason I call it HOME).

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.

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.

The staff (Ingo, Maria and Ursula!) were so accommodating and friendly. The outdoor cabin was quaint and very functional. We really enjoyed the well-kept grounds and surrounding area which was ocean waterfront with great gathering spaces and quiet zen areas w/sauna. This experience truly exceeded expectations in every way.

The water quality in the cabin wasn't great, but it's an outdoor cabin, so that's what there is.

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.

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.

Very friendly host. Beautiful lodge in a beautiful location in a forest on an island. 100% recommend to anyone who is visiting Nova Scotia and looking for a peaceful place to stay.

Only one thing. There is no wifi due to no reception in that area which is not hotel’s fault but you can get signal at the main house

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!

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.

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.

The cabin had absolutely everything that was needed (except dish soap, which we got within five minutes of asking!) for a perfect getaway. The individual cabins are spaced far enough from each other within the woods that you get a true sense of privacy. The grounds are off the beaten path, which is the point, but it was a quick drive to Isle Madame for the meal we didn’t want to cook for ourselves.

I wouldn’t phrase this as “didn’t like,” but the beach, while perfect for sitting at and admiring the view, or setting out from with the many boats and other sea equipment available, was not suited for swimming, which was our preferred activity. Again: not really a “didn’t like”: more of a “head’s up!”
