                                         We'll Keep The Light On For You

Wherever you are, give us a call but your cell might not work, so follow the Cabot Trail …to us, south from Ingonish, east and north from Baddeck or Englishtown, follow the trail to the food and drink and fun and entertainment…

If you reach us we'd be happy to recommend some eating spots…or
drive on to Cabot Shores. We're open early and open late. We'll keep the light on for you.

And there is the sound of Cape Breton music and happy guests you'll hear as you enter the lodge. You may even get a big welcome if you're a Big Kahuna (every night a guest is so honored and feted and wined and dined)

Come see what we mean.

Vegetarian options, we do that too. Even have cooking classes in it.

Make it easy, get a meal plan

Want to just make Cabot Shores' a destination. Get a meal plan (call 866-929-2585 for details) We can pack you a lunch as well.

Or just have a continental light breakfast with your lodge room.

Jumping off to the Trail or Other Attractions

You have an early ceilidhs or a Cape Breton concert for Celtic Colours. You'll get there on time. Early dinner is there for you.

Want It Done for you

You're lunch is packed, even for your canoe. Ready, set, go for your adventure. Food is taken care of…Enjoy the paddle or your hike.

Pick your favorite fresh seafood

Is it lobster you'd like from Little River, straight from the morning's early run? Or snowcrab? Mussels? Haddock? Even fresh mackerel that go in the thousands that are so catchable as they enter St. Anne's Bay, near Englishtown, from the Atlantic?

Cabot Shores will cook or barbecue for you.  You can also return  to your own deck or chalet for a private feast.

A young Massachusetts' fisherman finds trout in Breton Pond. He goes with his friends in a kayak or canoe and brings back trout, cleans them and cooks them on a fire on the Cape Breton beach.

It's active dining. Of course, there are local trout and ocean fish in from the catch in the dining room, as well.

 

Heini Stocklin, a retired teacher and concert flutist/conductor, from Basel, Switzerland enjoys starting fires and stirring them nights at Cabot Shores... He may even delightfully roast vegetables or figure out an ingenious way to get grandchildren fascinated by the fun of night fires...And food cooked on them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Some Massachusetts guests are on the path to the chalets and also to

a good meal of oysters, taken from St. Ann's Bay.

The neighborhood feeling is strong on Cape Breton. Kitchen parties often feature lots of food and a time to break out the instruments afterwards for Celtic Music.

"Thanks for making our stay at Cabot Shores a memorable event. We thoroughly enjoyed the natural beauty of the surroundings, and found the view of the ocean from our chalet porch each morning and evening a great way to start and end the day. The chalet was comfortable, the meals delicious and the service absolutely superb. Our hikes and short but exhilarating swims reminded us of the special role nature plays in our lives, and the importance of preserving our environment. We complement you on your vision of helping to keep alive the history of the Native people. The Sunday night music event with both Scottish and Mi 'kmaq music and dancing was an eye and ear opening experience we will long remember.

Please give our best to the rest of the Cabot Shores crew. "

Betsy, Patty, John and Ray ( the Atkins family)

 
"How wonderful, how restful-serene real the combination of mountains, ocean, pine trees and truly hospitable folks, plus the church all-you can eat crab dinner made this a memorable experience. We would recommend this spot to all my firends in Toronto..."

Sandra and Michael Tedesco Family, Toronto, Canada


We enjoyed our stay at Cabot Shores. A pity it was so short. Thanks for your hospitality. Lovely room and dining area. We enjoyed the views and the quiet surrounds..."
