This little spot has a view that you can’t put a price on when the stars come out. No light/city pollution, quiet , alongside a beautiful river. The road is a little questionable getting there if you are not an off road type, but I assure you, trust the journey. It’s worth it !

This is a beautiful hideaway in the middle of northern Cape Breton. The owners are so welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. We arrived on ADV motorcycles looking to explore the interior and were not disappointed. The food at the restaurant was also a highlight.

This place is magic - I’ve never had such a relaxing getaway. Whether it’s hiking or fishing on the wooded trail alongside a gurgling river, sipping coffee on the cabin porch in complete solitude, or sampling some of the finest cuisine at the lodge restaurant for dinner; you will leave here with a rejuvenated soul. Great Intervale Lodge renewed my spirit, and I can see why visitors revisit this place year-after-year once they discover this lodge tucked perfected in a river gorge in the heart of Cape Breton.

We had a wonderful stay! To say it is off the beaten path is an understatement. Dirt road for a very long drive in. But once there, it was beautiful! The hosts Hermann and Ruth were awesome. The food was the best, from seafood to hamburgers a very varied menu all delicious. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We were able to travel from here to most villages in the area easily. We are not fisher people but if we were the river is very accessible. This a wonderful place for all seasons. Highly recommend if you are up for an adventure or a quiet getaway it’s up to you!

Very cozy cabins. Satellite TV ,mini fridge ,and coffee maker are supplied in the cabin .WiFi is available in the lodge but the farther you are from the lodge the lower the signal . We had the farthest cabin and signal was weak and spotty. Cell service is unavailable due to the mountains surrounding the property . I would definitely recommend that you stay here if you are in need of a reset from the stresses of work and day to day routine . Lots of hiking and fishing locations and just off the Cabot Trail . This is a little slice of heaven . The owners are very friendly and welcoming .

It's a beautiful spot if you are wanting to be totally secluded in the wilderness. It's a very verrry long and windy gravel road to get there, but the scenery is lovely! The owner is the sweetest, and while we didn't get to enjoy any of the food there because of our time restrictions, it looked very delicious! *something to note, the website says WiFi but there was none at all in the cabin. (this was an issue for us because we had to do work online at night and weren't able to connect). Also, the power went out for many hours so make sure you are ready for the pitch black and crickets😉

Such a wonderful experience where do I start?! First off, Herman and Ruth were hands down one of the TOP hosts we have ever had. They were friendly, accommodating, and really made our family feel warm and welcome in their cottage. The amount of care and attention to detail they give in every aspect of their business is simply top notch. From putting up signs from the road to direct you to the place (they know that most people’s GPS cuts off there), to the FOOD.. oh God the food!! I had to ask Herman if he used to be a world class chef in the past because it was that good! They use herbs and veggies from their own garden, and the cooking techniques he used were like that of a classically trained chef (I know as I am in that industry), to the the cleanliness of the cabins and much much more… we could instantly tell that they truly do give their heart and soul into the place! I am also a huge fly fisherman and our conversations about angling were great as he shared local intel and even recommended a great guide that I ended up hiring for a fantastic trip on the rivers! Needless to say we loved our stay at Big Intervale Fishing Lodge and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to stay in the area. PS. Did I mention how great the food was already?! 🏆🏆🏆

Great weekend.
The owners of this lodge are a lovely couple who does everything then can to make your stay the best it can be. The cottages are comfortable and have all the comforts of home. The food was excellent and a lot of choices. We have been here four or five times and look forward to our next trip.
