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.

Overview

About

Wolfe’s Landing National Historic Site is located in Kennington Cove, on the east coast of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Contained entirely within the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, the site is bounded by a rocky beach to the south, and a rolling landscape of grasses and forest to the north, east and west. It was from this site that, during the Seven Years’ War, British forces launched their successful attack on the French forces at Louisbourg. The site includes the cove with its two modern beaches, numerous trails, and the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada cairn. Official recognition refers to the irregular five-hectare polygon that encompasses the site.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Wolfe's Landing National Historic Site is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the site's full splendour can be appreciated. Winters can be harsh, with limited access and services, so plan your visit accordingly to capture the essence of this historic locale.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit, as coastal conditions can change rapidly.
  • Wear sturdy footwear to navigate the rocky beach and trails comfortably.
  • Remember to bring water and snacks, as there are limited facilities on site.
  • Respect the historic nature of the site and follow all posted guidelines for preservation.
  • Accessibility may vary across the site, so inquire ahead if you have specific needs.
