"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. "

"What a fabulous looking resort you're making! We were very impressed with the main chalet, the individual chalets, the grounds and location"

David and Donna, Middle River, NS

 

"I really enjoyed skiing, snowshoeing and watching the ice form on the Atlantic. Nothing quite like being vigorously active outside, cold, tingly and then stretching out in the hot tub or sipping hot chocolate in from of the Lodge's fire. I really enjoyed meeting the local people at the Lodge's ceilidh. Thanks Paul, it was a great experience!"

Donald, Halifax, NS

 

"I absolutely loved my stay at Cabot Shores. The quality and comfort of the cabins are incredible while the facilities provided everything we could need. I was also overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the area. Rich in culture and scenery, Cape Breton is a must-see in the Maritimes. I had a most tranquil and wonderful time."
