More from Nova Scotia-(Part 7 continued)

     Hi everyone. Happy Friday to you. Today I'm taking you back to part of our Nova Scotia trip that we took in September. It's a bit of a long post-again! 😏 I'll be linking up to Nicole's Friday Face Off and Gillena's Friday Lunch Break, but I do want to mention that I'm heading out of town today and have a crazy weekend ahead so I may not be able to visit your blog until later this weekend. 

     Yesterday's post (which you can find here: Cape Breton Arrival) was about when we arrived on Cape Breton Island.  I finished that post by mentioning the interesting Air B&B place where we stayed called Valley View Chalets. I want to share that today.

    Our place for the night was in the Margaree Valley which is a rural area known (as I was told) for  salmon fishing. To get to the chalets we had to dive up a very steep gravel  road just under a couple of miles. You can see (in this next photo)  the cabin colony where we were staying. This photo was taken from  the driveway and parking area. Notice the cabins are sitting right on the side of a mountain. I could never get a shot of the front of the cabin because I didn't really want to go climbing down into the brush. With my luck I would have slipped, hurt myself and ruined the rest of our journey. 👎

    Our cabin was the closest one on the bottom right hand corner of the photo.

    Off the front of the cabin was a large gated deck (perfect for the dogs), and this fabulous view

 I'm glad we arrived around 4 PM because we had some time to sit outside and enjoy the nice day and this beautiful view. In these next 2 photos I have a couple of faces for Friday Face Off.

   Our  cabin  (Bud's Place) was a little studio with a kitchenette, a nice big comfy bed, a separate bathroom, and 

this tub. I guess if you've been hiking all day the tub might feel good. Or you could sit and soak in it and  enjoy the view down the mountain. Even though the front of the cabin is all windows, with the cabin being on the side of a steep hill I don't think you'd have to worry about anyone peeking in. 👍

     The only negative I had was that the little table next to the tub was the only table in this cabin.  I don't think the cabin was really set up for spending your day inside it, but then, with the gorgeous scenery in this area, why would you want to just lay in bed all day?

     I did notice on their website that ours was the only cabin with the jet tub, so I imagine the other cabins had different set ups.

   The next morning when we got up the whole valley in front of the cabin was fogged in. Here's a  couple of photos from when I took the dogs out for a morning stroll. Our cabin (Bud's Place) was the second from the right. You can see the cloud and just the top of the  mountains  in this photo.

    In this next photo you can not only see the fog bank behind the telephone pole, but you can see the steep gravel road too that took us up to the cabin from the valley below.

    The sky had a pretty color as the sun came up and the fog slowly dissipated. 

    In this next photo you can just see the farm down in the valley. On the wall of the cabin was an interesting story. That farm used to be where these cabins now were. When the man who owned the farm over 100 years ago got too old to manage the steep land, he moved the farm down into the valley. The farm is still owned by the family of the man who built and moved it. In his memory they built these cabins so other people could enjoy the view that their relative loved so much.

   I enjoyed watching the fog burn off. It's one of those things that is good to do first thing in the morning with a big cup of tea or coffee. I hope I didn't bore you with all the fog photos. 

   When we finally got moving and left, we went down the hill for breakfast. Several people had recommended this bakery and restaurant to us. And now I am going to recommend this place to you if you ever happen to be in Magaree Valley. It is owned and run by women, and breakfast was delicious.

   Not only did we enjoy our breakfast but we had some good conversation with the local couple at the table next to ours.

    And we also bought a couple of bags of their homemade cookies for the road. ❤ 🍪

   Have a super weekend ahead.
