Dragonfly Cottage

3 sites · Lodging14 acres · Rock Elm, NS
Get away from it all, a very quiet cabin in the woods. A great place to decompress and enjoy some time away. The property is left natural and has an apple tree and berries can be found around the area. Excellent high speed internet now available. There is an area to hook up a camper that provides water, power and sewer. Cape Breton Regional Municipality has recently implemented a 3% “Marketing Levy”, charged to our guests and used to fund a failing tourism website. Local hosts are not pleased about this. There are already a lot of extra fees with each guest booking and we understand the added frustration this brings. If you would like to join our voices and give feedback, you are welcome to email our mayor Amanda McDougall at mayor@cbrm.ns.ca and councilor for our area, Steve Parsons at steveparsons@eskasoni.ca

The official recognition refers to the archaeological resources and landscape of the designated place in their existing spatial relationships.
