Wonderful Farmhouse
Wonderful Farmhouse
- Guest Caroline M.

We were super-happy with the Farmhouse at Cabot Shores. A perfect space for two couple and kids (and a dog). We had more room than we needed and loved it. The fire pit and secluded property were great for exploring-we think might have found some ancient graves! The kids loved it. We got out in the canoes at the main house and chalet for an hour or so which was fun for the kids and grown ups despite the wind. Paul was the perfect host with a combination of offering suggestions and great advice. Our only disappointment was with the food we had in the dining room the one night we chose not to cook for ourselves. I would highly recommend a visit and look forward to our next trip!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We were looking all over Nova Scotia for somewhere to host a family birthday party celebration. We were so pleased to find this gem, with an amazing lodge and these fantastic chalets. There were 40 of us and we danced all night and had a fantastic dinner, with a beautiful breakfast the next day. We had a ball! It was just so great.

Cabot Shores is so gorgeous, its always such a pleasure to be on the water and to have the water as a backdrop, being able to look out and see the water from our chalets. The stars at night are so unbelievable, they are so bright and thick and I so enjoyed watching the stars and hearing the peepers, what a great sound. We enjoyed a campfire last night. This is just a stunning location. Heather, Sydney, Nova Scotia, CanadaDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

It's so absolutely stunning here, I felt like I was on the edge of the world in a way. Having the ocean right here just a touch away and these beautiful woods and the mountains, it just adds a sense of deep connectedness to the land and the spirit here. The big open sky, the stars at night....it just creates this really strong feeling of possibility of growth. The lodge is so incredibly cozy and sweet, it really feels like home, just like you are hanging out in your own living room, you can really relax here.

Why the Owner Chose Indian Brook:
We've traveled the world and found Cape Breton to be a unique, unspoiled and sacred place. We bought and renovated a farmhouse at Breton Cove in 2000 and then saw the property at Indian Brook where we saw the opportunity to build a special Resort and Retreat Centre, one where people can easily discover and create their favorite adventures.
The natural beauty of Cape Breton, the warmth and hospitality among its 3 main cultures all drew us to create Cabot Shores, where great stories and memories are guaranteed.
