Whiff's Lodge is a stunning barn-style construction with an open basement and 2 floors. Each level offers an amazing view on the Atlantic Ocean. It has been built and named in honor of Irving Weinberg, an anesthesiologist, mentor, and Cape Breton community leader, whose nickname was Whiff. The lodge is a place for community gathering and exchanges.

If you are looking for private lodging, book one of our Cape Breton private chalets! But if you want to meet people, exchange or party while enjoying real comfort, Whiff's Lodge is what you are looking for. It is also a great place for larger friends and family gatherings, or companies and organizations meetings, and can be adapted to your specific needs.

Each of its 6 bedrooms and suites is equipped with:

• A queen or double bed,
• A private three- or four-piece bathroom,
• Air conditioning, phone, TV & DVD/VCR.

We paid great attention to details when designing these rooms. Beautiful wood is present everywhere, with hemlock sidings and pine hardwood floors, and most of our furniture and linens have been handmade by local Cape Breton craftspeople as part of Cabot Shores' rustic comfort design.

One of the rooms is barrier free with direct wheelchair access and roll-in shower.

Whiff's Lodge also offers:

• A cafe and dining hall;
• A Main Hall with cathedral ceilings, sitting room area facing a monumental stone fireplace, and a stage for evening entertainments;
• A common room also with fireplace, for meetings or to hang out in front of the fire and read books from our library.

Wireless Internet is available all over the Lodge. Our bedrooms and amenities are 100% non-smoking.

Other services and amenities include: barbecue, laundry service, canoe and bike rentals (snowshoes in the winter), evening entertainment, Cape Breton Island tours, guided expeditions, workshops, etc.
