Our Place
We’re very proud of Bear on the Lake and the experience we offer backpackers, couples, families and travelers of all ages.
We offer the style, comfort and cleanliness of an Inn with the energy, fun and value of an award winning backpackers hostel accommodation.
We offer friendly and knowledgeable staff, stunning view of the Bras d’Or Lakes and the perfect central location to visit the Cabot Trail, Highlands National Park, Bell Museum, Louisbourg and all the other highlights of Cape Breton Island.
Choose to book a beautiful private room with lounge and deck overlooking the lake or a $25 bed in a clean and comfortable 4 person dorm room. Try one of our local restaurants or bring your own food to cook a feast in our self catering kitchen.
Relax in our hammock and watch the eagles overhead or the fox and moose trot across the front lawn. Cook marshmallows on our campfire or surf the net while lounging on the deck. Challenge another guest at a board game or croquet in the grass. Read a book under the sun or jump in the lake for a refreshing swim. Book a local sailing, kayaking and whale watching tour or challenge yourself with a local hike atop the mountain.
