From the Trans Canada
Hwy 105:
You have two choices - basically
go over the water or around it!

Exit 12 takes you over the water
via the Englishtown Ferry, a quaint
experience on a car ferry, that runs
24 hours a day 7 days a week and
takes about 5 minutes to cross
over. (reservations are NOT
required) Depending on other
traffic this saves about 15 minutes
of driving. Cost is $5 each way.  
From the Ferry drive North about
10 minutes.  You will be nearing
our property when you see the
shop "Leatherworks" (definitely
worth a stop to shop!) and 2
minutes further north you will see
our B&B sign at the end of the
driveway, just past the lake on the
left hand side.

OR
Exit 11
takes you around the
water and is a beautiful drive with a
few artisans' shops on the way.  
When you come to a T junction,
turn left and drive north for about 7
minutes.  Two minutes past the
shop "Leatherworks" you will find
our sign at the end of the driveway
just past the lake on the left hand
side.

Traveling South on the
Cabot Trail past Ingonish
:

Approximately 35 minutes south of
Ingonish you will see the green
road sign for Indian Brook.  Just
past this is our advance sign
followed shortly by our B&B sign
at the end of the driveway. As we
are just past a curve in the road -
slow down after you have passed
our advance sign.  You will turn
right into the driveway.
